Has anyone had any luck with applying at National University for their nursing program? I applied back in Oct 06 and have been waiting to hear from them. They are supposed to notify in 3 months. I have called and called and written email upon emails with no response really. :banghead: Please, if anyone has applied and received some sort of letter, I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Thanks

Well I went to an info session last year. The sheet I got says that to apply to the nursing program, you must have your prerequisites completed. Is that true?

I really don't want to shell out $2k for a Bio Stats class, if I haven't already been accepted into the program, as the Bio Stats class is useless outside of NU.

Yes- you do have to have all pre-reqs completed before you apply to the nursing program. There are no exceptions to this. If you enrolled at National prior to last August (I think) and took a stats class prior to that, then you may be grand-fathered in to use that class for credit (as I was), but very few people still fall into that category.

Have you looked into whether or not there is a course equivalent at one of the other local colleges? The nursing department would probably be able to answer that question. The SDCCD campuses would be perfect if they do since they're much cheaper, are often offered as acceclerated classes (8 weeks) and, in my experience, the profs are very good. I wouldn't write this off as useless- there are other schools that have math requirements (it's definitely relevant to nursing), but I understand the desire to get the education while saving as much as possible!

Thanks CAli2384 for the informative response.

I'm pretty sure that per NU, you have to take the class through them. It's just a bummer that I have 2 years of upper division stats through a UC school that should be more than sufficient to meet this requirement.

Also, does anyone know how I go about changing my "major" to BS Pubic Health, since I have been unsuccessful at getting a hold of my admissions advisor, I haven't a clue how to do this.

Thanks

Where has everyone gotten their malpractice information through?

Hi Rishle,

Yes, they mentioned there were several other TEAS dates, too. I remember the proctor saying that ours was one of the very last dates to take the exam before they start the elimination process.

I know everyone says it takes forever to get your letter in the mail, but I hold my breath every time the mailman comes. I hope I don't run out of oxygen by the time it finally arrives, ha!

Hi Mike's Wife!!

I got my acceptance to the Jan 2011 cohort on Friday!! Congratulations on your acceptance too! Also congrats to GVSMLSMOM and Rachey467!! Looks like we'll all be seeing one another in November at orientation.

BTW, have any of you received the emailed Orientation Packet yet? I'm looking to get started on those immunizations and whatnot right away!

Also, does anyone who's already started the nursing program know what service was used for the fingerprinting service? I was wondering since I have fingerprints on record with LiveScan because of my RCFE administrator certificate and was wondering if it was possible to "roll" this over.

Congratulations everyone who made it to the cohorts!

I was wondering what kind of scores did you get on your TEAS exams?

And did any of you get into the January 2011 cohort for LVN to BSN?

Just wanted some encouragement here...

Thanks!

It looks like we are in the same class. Maybe we can stay in touch as we journey through the nursing program.
