National University San Diego

Hi mommalumps! Thanks for the info! and congrats and good luck to you, as well!

I was wondering, did you complete your prerequisites at another school or at NU? From what I was told, I have to have ILR before I could apply for their nursing program, which is why I decided to go here. Any advice?

Hello Joyskoy!!
I was getting ready to start the ASN program at Charity School of Nursing in New Orleans before the storm. We know how that ended. I took all of my prereqs at Delgado Community College while there. Nursing was calling me; I now live in Escondido, CA. I still don't have ILR and some other classes; is that the computer lit. class? If so, you don't have to take it now. Advice. N.U is the place to go. They don't mak you take non-essential classes (Human Anthopology, Art 101, what the...) of other colleges. I had to take the Micro and lab at NU b/c I didn't have them before. There are some classes that are exclusive to N.U that you must take there. How many more prereqs do you need? Feel free to ask.

Hi mommalumps!!

I still need microbio, human anatomy II, oral communications, and ILR (yep, that computer class ) How and when did you apply for the nursing program, and how long did you wait? Some other schools have applications online and also let you apply when you're still in the process of completing your prerequistes, as long as you provide your transcripts by deadline. But, according to my advisor, she said everything has to be done and then I could apply. Sooooo yeah, pretty confused now

Btw, thanksss again for the info!!

I was also told I can't apply until my AP II & Micro are finished. Oh and that technology class which I am starting next week.

BUT he did say if I apply after those classes are finished it is possible to be admitted for Fall 09.

Anyone know how much the tuition is by chance? Thanks

Hello Joyskoy!!
Apply A.S.A.P!!!! You could take these classes at N.U. while you wait to get into the program. I waited about 4-5 months before I knew about my acceptance. I received an acceptance letter in the mail . First from the school and second from the Nursing program a week or two later. I had mostly all of my prereqs: I finished A&P I and II, which at the time , was about 3 years before getting accepted. I took Chemistry in N.O but I still needed to take Microbiology Lec and Lab (very interesting class). Please, make sure that your GPA is above 2.7; it looks much better than a 2.7 or 2.8. If you have that or above, apply. What I have witnessed is that kids would apply for the program and would be told to wait until their GPA was better; there were quite alot of these students in my Micro class. Micro was the first class I ever took at N.U and I was waiting until the first nursing class started (it was about a three month wait; not bad). I just came in from work and wanted to check on you. ( I work at night)
Thank you for the questions; I hope that the answers are helping you. NU is A GREAT SCHOOL.. fast paced.. adult oriented. Its hectic but so is life; if you have little ones, as I do, hence the Mommalumps ,it can be EXTRA tough. If you WANT to be a Nurse, you are already TOUGHER than most folks!!! Must... SLeeeppp... now I'll return soon
