National University LVN-to-BSN 2015 cohort 7

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello, I've recently applied to National to their LVN bridge program, still waiting on the date for TEAS and the essay. But I still have a lot of classes to do with their recent changes :-( which is frustrating, they just changed on us at the last minute. My advisor is not the smartest one either, she keeps forgetting what program I'm going for:-)

And I don't know anyone else who applied to the same cohort, anybody out there just as lucky?:-)

That's great! You did awesome, and 86% gives you 25.8 points. As long as your gpa is high and you didn't repeat any classes I'm positive you'll get in. You did an amazing job!

You did great! Keep that score and I'm sure you'll get in! Congrats again

Also, my classmate attended the nursing forum recently and she said the breakdown of scores changed.

It was:

Science GPA grades: 30%

Retake of classes: 20%

TEAS: 30%

Essay: 20%

Now it's:

Science GPA grades: 20%

Retake of classes: 20%

TEAS: 40%

Essay: 20%

I haven't spoke to my advisor about this yet but I hope it doesn't take affect this year =(

I attended the forum just before the application deadline (because nobody told me I have to go to some forum in order to apply), and we were told it's the following:

GPA for science - 40% (A/P I and II, Micro and Biom. Stat)

Teas - 40%

Essay - 20%

I don't know if that changes anything or not....

Honeymcbadger, I replied to your PM (at least I think I did; I don't have 15 posts yet and they are saying I cant send PM until I reach 15...hmmm)

SammiN, thank you for your encouraging words! Did you by chance already graduated National?

Yup they did change it =( they're putting more weight on the TEAS...

Yes, I got your message! I wrote you back and thank you again for all your advice.

I completed the LVN to BSN program at National, but I'm in a very unique situation where I am still not eligible to take the NCLEX, because I challenged the LVN board due to my military experience and the RN board won't let me take the exam until I take Peds and OB. Those courses are not part of the LVN to BSN program and National University is not willing to help me. They've been sending me on a wild goose chase since May.

Oh, that's horrible, SammiN! Can you just pay for those two classes and join generic BSN cohort? Or National is not willing to do that?

I've been on the wait list for those classes since May. National says cohorts come first. They have also told me that since those classes are hard to get in to that they will test me out. Again, they have been saying that since May. They have given me a lot of empty promises. If the teas is now worth 40% that means you 34.4 points! That's awesome. Do you have a high gpa?

My friend is also applying to the same program as you. She's scheduled to take the teas next Wednesday at national.
