National University San Diego

Published

Has anyone had any luck with applying at National University for their nursing program? I applied back in Oct 06 and have been waiting to hear from them. They are supposed to notify in 3 months. I have called and called and written email upon emails with no response really. :banghead: Please, if anyone has applied and received some sort of letter, I would greatly appreciate your reply.

Thanks

I am in cohort 27 starting in July and I was wondering if they split the cohort up when they schedule classes or are all 50 of us going to be together through the whole program? Thanks!

Is anyone applying for the October cohort and has anyone taken the "new" version of the TEAS V test? What's different on there?

Hi Everyone! I've read through quite a few of the pages in this discussion and I haven't seen much about the essay portion of the test that NU gives while they are giving the TEAS. Is there anyone who has applied already or who has gotten in that can give a little insight to the essay prompt that you received or if you've heard about any other prompts that have been given in the past? Thanks so much for the help!

Each essay prompt is different. It is 2 pages double spaced and the use of internet to find information is not permitted. Mine was something like, "why do I want to be in the nursing field besides wanting to help others?" It is not really something that you can prepare for just provide a thoughtful answer.

I've been in the program for about a year, and to be quite honest, the essay portion of the admission process was so insignificant that I can't even remember what the question was. They change the question for each group. The question is simple and you just write a complete essay about it. It is all about your writing style.

How much is NU per semester? Can someone who has been quoted or whatever let me know?

I got quoted 43k for just the nursing courses/orientation fee.

I just submitted my ABSN application...all As on the core and one B. I took the TEAS and got a 94%, but it was version 4, so I'm gonna have to take it again if I want to be considered to NU. We'll see what happens for the October cohort....hopefully, I'll get in to my first choice.

Hi Swede_girl726- Congrats on your acceptance! For the classes, you will all be together for the whole 23 months in theory classes. The labs and clinicals are broken up into 4+ groups, which gives you a good chance to get to know classmates a bit better.

Nuhopeful47- I agree with the others who have commented on this. I can't remember the exact question either, but if you want to prepare ahead of time, you know that the question is going to be something along the lines of "why do you want to be a nurse" or "what skills to you have that will make you a good nurse". I kept those things in mind before hand and wrote out some simple outlines so that I had the info in my head going into the essay (and so I didn't get writer's block). It definitely helped! Good luck!
