National University Cohort 33 Applicants and/or members

[CaptCrzy]

Hi everyone! My name is Alissa and I applied to National University's generic entry BSN program in San Diego (for cohort 33). I just completed the proctored essay and the TEAS test today and now the wait begins. Just to clarify this is the program that will begin in January, 2013 at the Rancho Bernado campus.

Anyways, I calculated my points and figured I have somewhere between 84.5 points and 87.5 points. I don't know exactly since we don't have the score for our essay, but I was just wondering if there was anyone else out there who also applied to this cohort and wanted to chat. Perhaps there is someone who has been admitted to a previous cohort who can give me some insight on how many points they got/what they wrote.

Best of luck to all of you out there!

Hey Everyone,

It's been nearly 2 years since I posted the original post. I will be graduating from National University's BSN program in 3 months! It wasn't easy. Out of the 50 people who started with me only 1/2 of us are still together. Most people quit or failed a class and got held back. I refused to believe I could fail and was fiercely motivated to make it though. I still have a 3.7 GPA and worked part time until Med-Surg. I have a kid and a husband too (for all you ladies out there wondering if you can make it with a family to worry about). You just have to believe in yourself and never give up!

Now to pass the NCLEX and get a job. I feel confident about passing the NCLEX, as National University prepares you quite well for that. Hopefully I find that ER job I want. I guess I will just do what I've always done........keep trying until I get what I want!

Congratulations!! I will be applying in the spring of 2015. Still chugging along with prerequisites at the moment. So rare to find anyone who went through NU. :)

For those who got accepted to the program, what were your grades for the pre-requisites ? What do you recommend to study for the Teas exam? I'm really nervous about everything! I been looking at every nursing program AND they all seem very competitive. I'm planning to apply in spring of 2016.
