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!!!!!!!

I haven't received my email yet with the instructions on the background check, but im going to start the residency which i just received this morning.
Thank you guys for all the info, I'll be applying around January 2016 for the Winter 2016 Term since I'm already taking classes at MDC. This is my last semester so I will be finally finishing my AA in Pre Nursing.

Hi BLNurse!
If you are applying for Winter 2016 which starts in January I suggest you send your application soon. As long as you finish your pre-reqs before the semester starts you should be fine! I believe the deadline for Winter term is November 1st!

Hi Yudi thank you for that info. I guess I will have to start on Fall 2016 due to work, to my understanding they open up the program twice a year right ?Jan and August ? Thank you guys. I'm very happy to be part of this forum.
It's free. All you have to do is enter the pin they give you and it'll give you access to input your info
Oh, okay i still haven't received the email with further instructions my guess is it will be sent later on today or tomorrow. how are you getting your immunization records, is there any immunization documents given to you by your physician to upload through the background check website, or is it some way else?

Yes, I think the enrollment is two times a year! No worries, you're welcome. Lots of luck!!
