CSN RN Spring 2014

Anthony_Hager · Oct 24, 2013

Hello everyone,

I've been following your forum and its amazing the support you guys have for one another during this stressful time. I'm currently a student at NSC and have been considering applying for the ADN program at CSN. I have been working towards my BSN but with working full time and having children at home I am beginning to look more at CSN so that I can get the ball rolling. I have completed all the prerequisites and I looked over the selection criteria page for the Fall 2014 application. My question is, based on the criteria it looks as though I would have 38 points (maybe higher if I retake the TEAS), how do you think I would fare as far as competition for the program. I would be applying for the part time program, but I was unsure if CSN gets a lot of applicants that have finished all their prereqs or if most applicants still have classes that they need to take or are still in progress. Any feedback is greatly appreciated, and I apologize for high-jacking your forum but you all seem like great/friendly people.

Hi Anthony,
Well as far as the 38 points go, I know that next semester is the first time they added those extra 10 pts for math 120 so it may change up things a little but if you want to know on past semesters without those extra ten points the cutoff has been 27pts if not a little lower, I've never heard of anyone not get it with 28 so you should definitely apply I would say you're golden! And as far as if people have their prerequs done, they usually do because the competition is always pretty tight. If you go to the orientation they always make it clear that it's almost a must to have your prerequs done to have a chance.
It would really help you to go to one of those orientations they offer, they are like 2 hrs long and they give you so much great information so you get a really good idea of how it works....here is a link to the dates and time just in case you want to go!

Well...i didn't get a call (yet)... Anyone else left waiting for another week?? :-p

SCOTT89 · Oct 25, 2013

I am so anxious! I went to the campus yesterday and asked when the calls will be made, they said next week or the first week of November. *sighs* I just want it to be now!

Minigia06 · Oct 26, 2013

So all I can say about not having calls this week is ..... :crying2: waaaah

aspiringnurse2014 · Oct 28, 2013

Indeed. Here we go again. Haha

SCOTT89 · Oct 28, 2013

Any news? I'm glued to my phone. I really hope they call today, I can't take this anymore! :down:

2GoneDE · Oct 28, 2013

Waiting with the phone....waiting, waiting. If I am called, I will post here asap. Good luck everyone.

Omg tell me about it! I am glued to my phone too, earlier my phone was ringing from a 702 # and I my heart started beating faster and I answered all nervous and it was Sally's Beauty Supply! Omg what a disappointment ....oh well, I'll post on here too if I get the call :)

SCOTT89 · Oct 28, 2013

I don't think it is going to happen today. I think that if they make the calls this week, it'll be on Wednesday or Friday. :dead:

BirdInHand · Oct 28, 2013

Agreed. Looking at an older thread, someone posted they got a call at around 9am. If we haven't heard anything yet, it's probably not happening today.
