Wow thanks! Although the 3.53 is my prereq GPA :uhoh21: That would be great if it was first come first serve! I would really like to get into the January instead! I think I will be the same way! I get so anxious with these kinds of things! I was also able to schedule my TEAS and week later so now my date is the 18th! Yay more time to study!

:[ I hate the fact that my prereq GPA is incredibly low. Taking Micro,Anatomy1+2 at san marcos is good and bad. They count Lab+lecture as one grade so even though I had a higher lab than my lecture or vice versa It would not show up because they count the grade as a whole =/. If I do not get in I am contemplating Retaking my sciences somewhere else, but then again I will be losing that 20% for taking my classes over again. :scrying:

Hey Murse I know what you mean. I took Anatomy at Palomar and I got a B. I know for a fact that if it was graded seperately I would have received an A for the lab section of it! That made me mad! I am sure that if I could, I would have the teacher write them a letter stating that! Oh well...

twilight saturn, you went to palomar?! Me too! I wonder if you were in any of my classes or had the same teachers I did...

I took Anatomy Fall '07 with Dr. Carpenter, Physiology Spring '08 with Dr. Albistegue-DuBois and Microbiology Fall '08 with Professor Dowey...

Hey! I had both of the same teachers but I had Alderson for Micro! Although it looks like I was a semester behind you the whole time! Lol! It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do...but I don't know why...my mom is an RN!

prettyinpink57 · Sep 2, 2009

Hahaha that is too funny because sooo many people in my cohort have mom's that are RN's and their whole lives their moms told them to be a nurse and they were all like "yeah right" and then look where they ended up...LOL! So good choice!

twilight_saturn · Sep 2, 2009

Yeah! I went from starting out as an astronomy major to business then real estate to nursing...lol! I seriously have no idea why it took me so long to figure it out...hahaha!

What's poppin people? Hi twilight, hi pink!

twilight_saturn · Sep 2, 2009

Hey banana! Just studying for the TEAS exam! How about you?

Hi everyone! I'm new to this but I've read these forums before. I just took the teas test and did okay. I don't think I did well on my essay. Does anyone know what the passing score is for the teas essay?

twilight_saturn · Sep 14, 2009

Hey hiphippo! I am not sure what the passing score is for the essay but I know that it is graded on a rubric by two different professors at National. I don't even think there is a pass/fail for the essay...it is just whoever scores the highest...but I do not know how they assign the percentage points (out of the 30%) to the rubric score. May I ask what your essay question was? I am taking it this Friday and I am very nervous!

Hi everyone! I got into the accelerated second bachelor's program, and will be starting in January. I'm pretty scared though! Is there anybody in a recent cohort who would care to share what their experience has been so far? What is the NCLEX pass rate? Where do you do clinicals? I am just hoping I made the right decision to go to National over another school. Iknow that it's quick (and expensive) but how do you feel the quality of your education is? A little background on me: I was in OU's program last year but failed clinical in the second semester so this past year I've been trying to rebuild my confidence and became a CNA. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance because I can't afford to fail again!!

Thanks!
