 Re: National University San Diego
Well I am part of the April Cohort as well, and we are in the 2nd week of our 3rd class, Fundamentals of Nursing NSG-304. We have completed the Health Assessment, Pharmacology, and are in Fundamentals, this is our first 2 month long class, with our summer vacation (1 week) in between. Our teacher for tis class is Professor ****** ****, in my opinion she is a really good teacher so far. Every teacher obviously brings something different to the table, and she is I must say the comic relief to the program so far. I must say there does seem to be a lot of busy work in the course so far though. I don't like the fact that we actually have to do and turn in the workbook work that coincides with the chapter reading, I never found the work books help me to study, but oh well I guess..the class is really good so far in that it takes what I have learned in the last two and really makes it all make sense! Like that Damned awful Nursing Concept Map!!!!
Oh and CONGRATS Honeybee, you are awesome!!!!! I can only hope to get throught the program let alone graduate with honors!!!!!

Re: National University San Diego
Thank you NESHIA for the information. I will probably do the A/P since it has been awhile (HM school in 2000).

Maybe theyre giving us different info?
Yap, i received email from Nursing and the last day to apply for the LVN-BSN is Dec, letter will be mailed in jan

Hi Tuquies, I was just wondering how you April cohort ladies were doing. Any little bit of info you can relay back to us is a big help. I volunteer at a hospital and worked with your Prof. ****** ****. She is a hoot and very enjoyable to work with. I bet she is a great instructor too. I know what you mean about comic relief, she definitely makes work interesting. She knows her stuff too. Good luck and keep us posted.

Re: National University San Diego
For sure! I think I speak for all of us cohort 18 ladies when I say that we are so busy, we forget to do even the most menial tasks these days if it is not in relation to school! But yes, we are well, my lab just went over and practiced Tracheotomy care tonight, and Nasogastric Tubes last night. It is a lot to learn, and our lab final is in 2 weeks, but somehow we just do it. Its strange at first I was so overwhelmed, and now this just feels natural. Staying up until 12 every night doing homework, and awaking at 7 to do it all over nonstop everyday. If I stop and think about it, then it wears me out, but if not...

Re: National University San Diego
I had an appointment yesterday with an advisor and the cost of the BSN program is $40,806.
That is for the program itself, you have to get your prereqs done. Its suggested you take them at a jc, if you take them at the University it's very costly because each class runs for only 4 weeks. Each class or prereq taken is about $1,278.

Re: National University San Diego
I don't know about that quote!!!! I am in the program and they quoted be a little higher than that too...but did they also take into account the $1,300 orientation fee, or the $650 A MONTH nursing fees, or the $100-250 a month spent on books????? Believe me it is A LOT HIGHER THAN THAT, it equals a lot closer to $60,000 for the ACTUAL cost. I get financial aid, and with that, the subsidized and unsubsidized loans I am already $25,000 in Debt. Really sit down look at each class inthe BSN nursing program, add the upper division ones neccessary too complete your bachelors which is NOT in the schedule of the nursing classes, it is like 3, so you do the math. Add 200 for every theory and 450 for every clinical to cover the nursing fees, than charge your self for AT LEAST 2 books a month (that price will vary depending on where you buy them)...and that is how much the program will really cost (STILL NOT INCLUDING SUPPLIES, AND TRAVELING EXPENSES ECT.) Just letting you know, b/c I was very unpleasantly surprised when I figured all this out.

 Re: National University San Diego
Hi Michelle719,
I used the Kaplan Book for the TEAS one day prior to exam. It was enough. I strongly suggest you study a lot of geology and physical science...that seems to be the low marker for everyone. I think I would have scored higher had a more days to study but they changed my test date and I still had finals at that time to study for and not enought time to do this exam as I had hoped but I believe I scored very well. Some people in my exam date have already taken it like 3 times!! I think reading the book would help you with the exam.
As for the Essay itself, the prompts are different and you have 90 min to complete it. I have taken many essays and have noticed the answering the prompt is most important and grammer and context comes next. Since it is done on a laptop I took the whole 90 min. They do not want more than 2 pages and that is pushing it because imagine all they have to grade still. I kept mine to about a page and a 1/4-1/2. I constantly kept erasing my thoughts and kept rewording it and checking for grammer and then checking that I answered the prompt and then tried my best to make it an enjoyable read...believe me some people finished fast but as I understood it the TEAS and Essay comprise about 50% of your score total so I would definitely take my time.
Hopefully this helps. I do not know what I got on the essay as I guess they will have to tell you that when you call in if they even give you that info. Good luck!!
