the anticipation is killing me!! after working hard for 2 years i finally completed my application to national university for their Accelerated BSN program. i took the teas 5 just over a week ago and am expecting my acceptance/rejection letter during the first week of june. even though it is just 3 weeks away, it seems like a lifetime! if i am accepted i will be joining the october 2011 cohort. anyone else going to nu during this time?
Hi everyone! I am new to this forum and new to National University. Just have a few more classes before I apply to the Nursing program....BSN General Entry. congratulations to everyone who got in.
Does anyone have any tips for applying to the program? Do they accept letters of recommendation?
Thank you!!!
hi everyone! i got in too. finally! i thought it would never happen.
i applied for the accelerated program. got an 84% on the teas and i have no idea what my computed gpa is. my bachelor's degree is from ucd (quarter system) then i ended up retaking anatomy/physio bc it was about 10 years ago and other schools wanted those classes within 8 years. after all the calculations and retakes, i don't know what the submitted gpa is but it's not as impressive as aberras! i think i have a low 3.??
for those of you who have to study for the teas v, make sure to study chemistry! the test is considerably harder than version 4 (i had a 92% on version 4.) know how to balance equations quickly so you can spend more time on other questions. i studied off the ati study guide book. i also read the science portion of other study books at the book store for review.
i actually kicked butt on the science portion; my english portion is what brought my score down. version 5 focuses more on punctuation, spelling and parts of speech. i wish i spent at least a 1/2 hour to review stuff i learned in the 3rd grade!
i plan on working a little during school. i just don't want to give up my seniority at the hospital. i hope i can handle it....i'll quit if it gets too hard. i don't have kids so i'll try.
Hey Sandiegogirl,
Congrats!!! You should join our fb group! I will be working through the program as well When I was at the pre-nursing forum the facilitator said it made no difference if you didn't work at all, or you worked 20-25 hours a week. It would make a different if you tried to work 40 though. I don't have any kids either, so I'm hoping I can do it too, I will need to keep my medical benefits. It's funny there is so much chemistry on the TEAS when NU doesn't even require that class. Sandiegogirl you're right about the english sections, it was basic stuff that I'ev learned a long time ago. I honestly feel like I could have done better straight out of High School.
