NAU BSN Spring 2021

Published

Hey Guys!

Just thought I would create this thread for anyone applying to the Traditional BSN program at NAU! I am applying to Flagstaff as my first choice and Tucson as my second. I have a GPA of 3.8 and I got 81% overall with 70% on the science portion. The science portion was definitely tricky since it was not all Physiology.Hopefully it's good enough haha, and from what I've heard, there are definitely fewer people applying this semester due to everything going on, so hopefully that'll increase our chances!

Apparently some emails are going out now! My mom, who's in a facebook NAU group saw another parent talking about how their daughter got into the Yuma campus, so maybe we will get our emails soon?? HOPEFULLY? I wonder if they are doing a slow roll out for the emails

Oh that is good to know!! I think in the past they usually have sent emails out in chunks by which campus so they probably did Yuma first!

Okay honestly this version of the Kaplan is dumb. The science isn’t just anatomy and physiology like everyone says. It is still mostly that so still study your body systems! I used a TEAS test prep for the science and also had my friend who is super good at science review with me and that helped a ton. Also study Basic BIO 181 topics like prokaryotes vs eukaryotes, the species and class system thing... I can’t remember the actual name of it, and other basic Bio 181 stuff! Honestly I didn’t study for the other parts but I’ve heard an ACT/SAT prep helps a lot. Also take some practice tests and watch Youtube videos like crash course!

hello,

I'm applying to the ABSN program. I have the 2020 TEAS study guide. SHould I just focus on that one and not bother buying the Kaplan review book?

I only used a TEAS prep book and thought that was helpful. The TEAS one is helpful because it doesn’t just go over Anatomy and physiology  but it goes over bio and chem as well, whereas the Kaplan one only goes over your A&P stuff. I’ve heard that the newest Kaplan prep book is more helpful than the older versions though, but overall I think you will be just fine with just the TEAS book. I don’t know if you have taken the TEAS or not but I’ve taken the TEAS, Kaplan, and HESI and the TEAS and Kaplan are VERY similar.
