I was looking for a post for the Entry-Level BSN program for Winter 2016 at Nova and I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one where we could all get in contact to discuss and share our experience, tips, thoughts and questions on this journey !
So, I guess I'll begin with mine!! I originally began my application to Nova April 30th (kind of late considering their deadline for registration was June 1st) for the Fall Semester. After I submitted both my nursingCAS and the NSU application, it took about 2 weeks to receive a response. I got my email for the interview May 19th. I immediately registered for an interview (June 4th, tomorrow!!!) and began to prepare.
I called Nova, to see if I could get some feedback as to what I could use to study from, or if there was any specific book I could purchase. The girl who I spoke to kindly informed me that there was no specific study guide and that the test would be based on previous knowledge from my prerequisites. With that being said, I immediately started googling and finding out as much information as possible about the Exam and the interview process (where I came to find this website that has genuinely helped me so much with gathering info). I then purchased the "Nursing School Entrance Exams" Kaplan book through Amazon, which cost me around $20, and began to study from that. I can' t tell you guys yet if that worked for me or not since we don't know the exact material of the exam and I hadn't taken the exam yet, but I'll make sure to come back and let you guys know how it went!
I received a call last week on Friday, that there were no more available seats for the Fall Term 2015. The girl I spoke to advised me to still present myself to the interview and take the exam. She also told me that the application could be moved to the Winter Term and that way I don't have to apply all over again and go through the same process. So, that's what I plan on doing.
I am so nervous for the exam more than anything, since I don't know what to expect, but I am trying to stay positive.
Good luck to all the new applicants for Winter Term and those that are on the same boat as me. Hopefully we are all together soon in the BSN program at NSU!!!!!!!
Guys nursingcas doesn't need to review your file before getting an interview. Once my nova application and transcript showed up on my VIP page I called admissions to let them know and the next day sharifa emailed me if it was ok to call me about some questions in regards to my courses to verify some things and they gave me the interview. Everything for nursing cas was verified after I got accepted....so you don't need to wait for nursingcas to give the ok....
I did not send my transcripts to nursingcas, just to Nova and everything worked out fine. Don't wait till they receive the transcripts to send your application. Send it now and once your transcripts arrive they will put one and one together. Don't worry!! Anytime :)
Hi guys I finish the nursing Cas application and i send my transcripts to both nova and nusing cas they both took about a week to confirm they receive my transcripts. Now I am just waiting to get an interview.

Send the transcripts and while they receive them send your application. I didn't wait for them to receive my transcripts first.
