National University LVN-to-BSN 2019 Cohort 11

[janice11]

Hi! My name is Janice and I applied for the LVN to BSN program at National University in August and just got my test date for the TEAS and essay. I wanted to start a thread so we can all talk and bounce ideas off each other. My test date is September 17th and I'm super nervous! I've got two study guides for the TEAS and I'm starting to study now.....ugggggh. (should have started sooner!) I also contacted the writing department last week and will do a few practice essays to prepare. Please comment if you have applied....let's chat!

They said 4 to 6 weeks, so we should find out by the end of this week. My friend applied for the post Bachelor BSN program, Cohort 56 (I think), and they had to wait almost 8 weeks to find out. I think I'll call. Do you all know your point totals so far minus the essay?

How can you calculate the score? I forgot .. thanks

[janice11, BSN, RN]

GPA: move the decimal over one place. If you have a 4.0 it's 40 points or 3.75 it's 37.5 points

TEAS: take TEAS score times 40%. If you have an 80% it's 32 points

ESSAY: is the percentage times 20%. If you have a 4/5, it's 4 divided by 5 times 20% = 16 points

I have 3.86 GPA and 94.7 on TEAS. How about you? I e-mailed the nursing department and they said that the application is still in process. Did you hear anything about the result?

[janice11, BSN, RN]

Wow! Amazing score on your TEAS!! I have a 4.0 GPA and 90.7 on TEAS. I haven't heard anything regarding the result. I called last week and didn't hear anything back. How did your essay go? I'm just hoping I did well enough on it to get in.

[mcgomez]

I am not sure about the essay. How about you?

[janice11, BSN, RN]

I practiced for about a week before the essay. I had a general idea of the possible prompts that were going to be asked and I feel decent about it. That one hour goes by really fast. I am so ready to find out if I got in. Hope we find out soon!

[mcgomez]

I know it went by so fast. I really hope we find out soon!

I got an email saying being deferred student, no available spot for me

[janice11, BSN, RN]

So, there is no LVN to BSN program at all. I am not happy. I called after another applicant texted me. I have transferred my application to the cohort 58 pool. I wonder what in the world happened. I can't believe it.

Hi guys,

so did we all get the same letter saying there is no spots for the LVN - BSN program? I was not sure if this meant I just got rejected or the program was cancelled entirely which is really upsetting.

[janice11, BSN, RN]

We all got the same e-mail. They have decided to review the entire curriculum and they decided to not have the LVN to BSN program at all this cohort. There were 42 or 43 of us that applied and waited. SO UPSETTING.
