I have a question.... are you supposed to send in your app on the first day the application period opens and at 9 am? In order to get more priority?

Yes. NVC is a first-come, first accepted for those who meet the qualifications. Thus, it is very important the time stamp you get on that application.

I would suggest applying to other programs too. You may want to try Solano Community; not too far from NVC. If you have good grades (at least a 3.5 if not a 4.0) and TEAS score, and some other stuff--military vet, health experience, etc--you may want to try CSU schools. They're very competitive and it's all about the points--top scores get accepted. Thus, if you don't have a 4.0 and high 90s TEAS, you'll need the bonus points. You also may want to try for the schools with larger cohort sizes such as CSU East Bay.

If you do not get accepted for the first attempt, keep trying. There is more than one way to become a nurse. You may need to move to attend the school that accepts you; I moved 2800 miles.
