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!!!!!!!
Veamarige I don't think there's a link with the specific questions they ask in the interview. If you read back a couple of comments from other students who have recently been accepted and they shared their experience you might get a good idea of what they ask.
CamiNP I think they give you 2 weeks to pay your deposit which is technically your response that you'll attend the program. (If I am not mistaken, not 100% sure though, I paid my deposit same day I got accepted)
I would like to thanks to my good friend Belkis who told me about this thread.
Thank you very much to all of you that have been sharing ideas about the test and the interview. I received the invitation through the Vip page. I recommend that if you have not received any call or e-mail for the interview please check your VIP page maybe yours is already in the system. My appointment is next week on Tuesday and to be honest I am very nervous.
As I said in the previous message, I have the interview on Tuesday and I would like to ask those of you who went to their appointment this week to please give me any suggestions on what to study or any idea of some of the questions. In the science part what System†is the most important to study, in the math part are there any word problems? Thank you guys, I will appreciate your help. God bless us all!
