NAU Accelerated BSN 2014

[bsnbound2014]

Now that the applications have been submitted and the deadline has passed, the wait begins. As I understand it, NAU accepts 30 students based on only two criteria: Pre-requisite GPA and Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exam. After taking my Kaplan, I asked one of the proctors if she knew the average score on the Kaplan. She said she wasn't sure of the average, but saw a student score a 96%. That's when I started to get nervous... and now I'm curious, how did you all do??

I applied with a Pre-req GPA of 4.0 and a Kaplan score of 87%. *Hoping that gets me in!!*

I'm #1 as of yesterday, so you must have been offered a seat. Congrats!

Awesome Capsaicin! Please post on here when they offer you a seat. :)

Is anyone in this cohort looking for roommates in Flag?

[Capsaicin`]

I'm looking for housemates. I'd PM you but I don't seem to have the capability. Are you willing to share your email?

[TimW]

Yes . It's [email protected]. I'm also in touch with another person from this cohort and we're both looking to keep costs down.

I might be interested! If there's an in suite bath available...

Tim,

Just emailed you. Looking forward to hearing back. Thanks

This has been a crazy process and a quick turn around from acceptance to starting. I just looked up the books and noticed that the Nur 330 bundle is over $400 for e-book versions and over $700 for e-books and physical books. Does anyone know what this is all about? I'm wondering if its going to cover other books this summer. Typically, I save money getting the last edition on amazon. Any info or suggestions are appreciated.

Any tips for saving on the book bundle?

[havasurich]

I found the syllabus in NAU course packs and ordered books thru amazon.

Thanks to some digging by the book store, I found a list for the bundle:

http://www.bkstr.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CourseMaterialsResultsView?catalogId=10001&categoryId=9604&storeId=15828&langId=-1&programId=1626&termId=100032103&divisionDisplayName=%20&departmentDisplayName=NUR&courseDisplayName=330&sectionDisplayName=120011&demoKey=null&purpose=browse

Let me know if that link doesn't work. I'll give thorough instructions on how to reach the page with the bundle books listed. It turns out more than just NUR 330 books are included in this bundle, and per the 330 professor the bundle includes books for the other summer semester courses. It doesn't include ALL the books however, as there are additional required texts for 330 ("Nursing as caring…" and "Publications manual…").

So I'm going to figure out if the bundle including books from the other summer courses amounts to savings compared to buying them individually. Plus it looks like there are two online access codes included, which availability may be limited.

Hi everyone,

Congrats on getting into the program! I know it was very competitive this year. I am just finishing the program (15 days and counting!).
