U.S.A. Virginia

Published

Hello! I just received my acceptance to ODU for the Fall 2014! Im ecstatic! I was curious who else will be joining me this fall? :)

Specializes in Navy Nurse.

Hi , I am an active duty sailor who will be applying to the ODU for Fall 15. I see the curriculum changed and am concerned about the reputation of the program. I haven't seen anything positive about the university, could you share some of the things you know! How about the NCLEX pass rates?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Im currently in it. It's a great program and still will be. It has gotten so much recognition and is incredibly competitive to get in. Although ODU itself isn't the top notch, it's medical programs are (strangely enough) due to close proximity to a medical school, great hospitals etc... NCLEX rate has been about 100%. The professors are great. Every nurse practitioner I talked to recommended ODU Nursing and the students are looked upon with high regard and have an easy time getting hired.

I know this is really late, I'm applying this janurary and I'm hoping i get in. I have never taken ODU classes, i have most classes done except for chemistry ( I'm taking in the spring) and about two electives. Mrs.Hawkins gave me the ok to apply after this fall semester is over at tncc. I have a few questions tho, what was the hesi score of those accepted? and was it hard like the TEAS V exam? what were your GPA's? and i currently work as a CNA at riverside and have volunteer experience at riverside. Will that help?

Honestly, if Mrs.Hawkins gave you the okay to apply, then I think you're probably okay. She's incredibly honest. My HESI score was 96. Most people I know in the program, had HESI scores over 90. I did not find it difficult, but I still studied. Do not brush it off. Review the sections in the HESI admission exam book you can get off amazon. My GPA for prerequisite was a 4.0 and all of my friends had 4.0 in the prerequisite classes. Your job will most certainly help you!

Sorry for the very belated reply...I actually think you have to have an 85 or above to be eligible to apply to ODU Nursing. I would ask Ms.Hawkins and probably take it again!
