NLN Passing Score for Norfolk State University

U.S.A. Virginia

Published

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows which scores on the NLN exam does Norfolk State looks at to determine if you passed? Or does anyone know what is the passiing score or what range you should be in for their nursing program? I just took the preadmission exam today and I'm not sure where I stand. They are only picking 100 students out of the 200 that tested and we will not hear anything until the end of May or early June. I'm just trying to see if I have a chance of gaining admission or do I need to try to gain admission to another program just in case. Any feedback or info would be appreciated on this matter. :)

Hey Chambo did you ever purchase your shoes yet? If so, what kind did you get? I went to order my uniforms today and she had me try on two pairs. One was Timberland and I can't remember what the other one was. Both were comfortable to me but these shoes are kind of pricey. I decided not to buy my shoes yet. I will be buying them tomorrow or Friday and I'm looking online to see if I can find a good deal.

I just wanted to say good luck. Make sure u study, not only what they give in class, but a lot of your own too. Also take a look at the current NCLEX pass rates. Also ask about the HESSI exit exam and how most people have to take this over and over just to graduate and sit for the NCLEX. Talk to current and former students so u can be prepared. :nurse:

Thanks for the advice. I have looked at NSU's NCLEX pass rates and they were not that high. I also heard about the HESI from my aunt, she has to take it again in order to be considered a graduate of the program and to be be able to sit for her NCLEX. I unfortunately will be unable to attend NSU to certain circumstances however I will be attending Hampton University's VA Beach campus for their nursing program. What school did you attend for your nursing education?

I know what you are talking about. It is the Hampton campus not the VA beach campus that is having the issues.

@honeygamble I didn't apply to riverside but I was looking at HU at the virginia beach campus can you give me some insight on the program.

Hey Determined,

HU's Va Beach program is an accelerated 3 year BSN program, may take you about 2 1/2 years depending on what you have completed so far. I was told to come in as a transfer student you had to have at least 15 transferable credits and also it is recommended to have your sciences completed as well as your communications class. Also you need to have a good GPA. Here is a list of the course equivalency chart to see if what you have taken will transfer:

They have a good NCLEX pass rate from what I have seen on the VA Board of Nursing website. As far as cost, they are considerably cheaper than the main Hampton campus and you can apply for an additional grant called the VTAG in addition to your Pell Grant which will help bring down costs. Like I have posted before I will be starting there in the Spring and I think I have picked a good program. If you have any additional questions or need anything else, let me know :).

Also here is a link to their curriculum:

Thanks I will have to give them a call and see what I have to do I have all my classes I believe except the 1 of the civilization classes and a humanities. So I may try to look into their program. I may apply to HU and NSU I was thinking about TCC also.
