National University BSN Program

Published

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?

I am new to this site but have been working towards getting accepted into NU (RB campus). I applied for the April 2012 cohort and results will be in around mid/end of January.

To be blunt, I know I didn't score well enough on the TEAS V to get into the program (I got a 70.6%-on my results it says the average score was a 70% for this version). The test was TOUGH. Surprisingly, I aced the Math sections but didn't do so well in the Life Sciences section. My grades for my core classes break down to:

A/P1: C

A/P1 Lab: C

A/P2: B

A/P2 Lab: B

Micro: B

Micro Lab: B

BioStats: A-

I think I did OK on the proctored essay as I am a fairly decent writer, and I didn't re-attempt any core classes, so I'm not sure where I will end up.

I may just end up re-taking the TEAS to bump my score up. Ideally I'd like to get an 80% or better...any other advice you can offer me would be incredibly helpful!!

Thank you!

Hey I wanted to know the next deadline is Feb 10th (for LA) does everything icluding the TEAS need to be in by that date or just the applications & the transcripts?

From my understanding its the application and the transcripts. You have to already be a student at National, have attended their Pre-Nursing Forum, and have had your transcripts evaluated (this take about 4-6 weeks). If you meet all of those prereqs after you apply you are assigned a date to take the TEAS and write the essay.

Hey I'm on the same boat as you! New to this forum with almost the same grades! I have not taken the TEAS yet still studying and debating weather to apply for the April or July cohort :( I am also very concerned about my grades.

Good Luck!
