Hello everyone! I wanted to start a thread for National University students who are applying for the SD cohort 52 that begins in October 2017. I'm very excited about the future and wanted to share this experience with others that have applied as well. Please feel free to post questions, concerns, and accomplishments. Has anyone received an e-mail for the TEAS 6 test date? 0 Likes

kellyrae94 Apr 28, 2017 Hi everyone! I am applying to corhort 52 as well. My testing date is May 16th. I took the TEAS 6 a month ago and got a 78%, but will be retaking it to get a higher score. What is everyone's GPAs? If you don't mind me asking. Hoping I get a higher Teas score and do well on the essay. 0 Likes

Jeepgirl856J May 13, 2017 Hi everyone! I was wondering how everyone is preparing for the essay portion? I'm nervous about it, seeing as I'm not a strong writer at all. Any suggestions that you all are doing would be greatly appreciated. Also how do I calculate my GPA on the four classes that are weighed? 0 Likes
jtheis24, BSN, RN Specializes in BSN, PHN, RN. Has 3 years experience. May 16, 2017 I was told the essay is a typical 5 paragraph essay and to make sure you answer the prompt. From what I have been hearing, the prompt is generally about why you want to do nursing or why you would be a good nurse. So more or less make the essay personal. I did a google search and found a website that calculates it and input my grades and units they were worth. Don't forget the labs are included. 0 Likes
kcath16 May 16, 2017 okay thanks! I also saw from a previous forum that they had the prompt "Some say nursing is an art and a science. Discuss what this means to you." 0 Likes
