Welcome to Chemistry for Nurses: TEAS 7 Study Group

This study group is specifically for pre-nursing students who are preparing for the TEAS 7 exam and want to improve their understanding of chemistry concepts. It’s ideal for those who need additional support, structured learning, or a refresher on key topics.

The program covers all essential chemistry topics needed for the TEAS 7 exam, including:

• Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
• Chemical Bonding
• Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions
• Solutions and Solubility
• Acids, Bases, and pH

Week      4: Stoichiometry and Chemical Reactions

• Balancing chemical equations
• Mole concept and molar mass calculations
• Stoichiometric calculations (limiting reactants, theoretical yield)
• TEAS practice problems and walkthroughs

Week      5: Solutions and Solubility

• Properties of solutions: solute, solvent, and concentration units
• Calculating  molarity and dilutions
• Factors affecting solubility and solution preparation
• TEAS-style  questions and application exercises

Week      6: Acids, Bases, and pH

• Understanding acids, bases, and the pH scale
• Strong vs. weak acids and bases
• Calculating pH and pOH
• Buffer solutions and their importance in the body
• TEAS practice questions and case studies

Week      7: Thermodynamics and Gas Laws

• Basic concepts of thermodynamics: energy, enthalpy, and entropy
• Understanding the gas laws: Boyle’s, Charles’s, and the Ideal Gas Law
• Application of gas laws to real-life scenarios
• TEAS practice problems and exam tips

Week      8: Comprehensive Review and Final Practice

• Review of all major topics covered in the study group
• Full-length practice test and detailed explanations
• Last-minute tips and strategies for test day

We will send out all of the information you will need 2 weeks prior to the start of our first session.  You will receive access to the Private Facebook Group, Zoom Link and the worksheets for the first week of class.  If you need to reach out to me, please feel free to do so.

The Study Hall Sessions will begin on Sunday, September 15th at 7pm, EST.  Each weekly session will last for 1 hour 30 minutes.  We will have 8 weekly sessions.  Please look at the schedule below.

Week 1: Sunday, September 15th 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 2: Sunday, September 22nd  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 3: Sunday, September 29th 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 2: Sunday, October 6th  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 1: Sunday, October 13th 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 2: Sunday, October 27th  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 1: Sunday, November 3rd 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Week 2: Sunday, November 10th  7:00 pm - 8:30 pm, EST

Yes!  If for any reason you are unable to make it, we will provide the worksheets and video replays in our Private Facebook Group.  You will have access to each weekly sessions class information.  However, if you are on an as needed basis where you are only registering for the week's you need, you will be emailed the replay videos the next day by 10 am, EST.

Most certainly!  If you are only available for certain week's, you can pay for those weeks only.  You will not have access to our other sessions and those video replays will be emailed to you within 24 hours of our class session ending.  For instance, if you are only available for Week's 3 and 5, you will be emailed the worksheets in advance, but the video replays for those sessions will be emailed the next day by 10 am, EST.  You will receive the worksheets for the week(s) you register for prior to the start of that class session.

The study sessions are held weekly via Zoom, lasting approximately 1.5 hours each. During each session, you'll participate in a mix of lectures, interactive problem-solving, and group discussions. You’ll also have opportunities to ask questions and clarify any doubts.

As a participant, you’ll receive weekly worksheets, practice problems, and study guides tailored to the TEAS exam. You’ll also have access to recordings of each Zoom session, additional resources, and a supportive online community where you can connect with other students.

While the group sessions are the primary focus of the program, we do offer additional support through our online community. You can post questions, engage in discussions, and even schedule one-on-one sessions for an additional fee if you need more personalized help.

While we recommend joining at the beginning of the 8-week cycle to get the full benefit, you can join at any point if space is available. Just be aware that you may need to catch up on any material you missed.

After the 8-week program concludes, you’ll have access to all the resources provided during the course, including session recordings and materials. We also encourage you to stay connected with the group for continued support as you prepare for the TEAS exam.

If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to us directly through the group or via email. We’re here to help you succeed!

No, this study group is specifically focused on the chemistry section of the TEAS 7 exam. Our sessions are dedicated to helping you master chemistry concepts and problem-solving strategies. For support in other sections of the TEAS exam, you may want to seek additional resources or join a group tailored to those areas.

To ensure we make the most of our time together, our sessions will strictly focus on chemistry topics relevant to the TEAS 7 exam. We encourage participants to stay on topic during discussions to maximize the learning experience for everyone. If you have questions about other TEAS subjects, we recommend exploring other resources or groups that specialize in those areas.

No prior in-depth chemistry knowledge is required to join the group. The study group is designed to accommodate all levels, whether you're a complete beginner or someone looking to refresh your chemistry skills. We'll start with the basics and gradually progress to more complex topics.

Due to the digital nature of this program and the immediate access provided to course materials, all sales are final and we do not offer refunds. Once you register, you'll have full access to all study sessions, recordings, and resources, allowing you to participate and review at your own pace. We encourage you to take full advantage of the program to maximize your learning experience.
