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!!!!!!!
Hi guys! So i have my test next week and I was wondering if the kaplan exam was anything like the teas ... meaning, if it will be computerized and if we are not allowed to take our calcs? Im over thinking this and nursing admission does not know whether or not calculators are allowed 0.o help please. my nerves are killing me. I also want to change my campus of choice now... ft myers instead of ft lauderdale.... idk if that will be allowed either
TEAS are harder and go into detail. Kaplan is just like an over view. There are calculators provided and you can change campuses the day you go in for your interview. They actually encourage you to do it.
Isis.lag004 Congrats on your acceptance!! I believe the deadline for the Baptist scholar is tomorrow October 30th, but call them just to be 100% sure!!
And everyone remember you're more than welcome to join our facebook page!!
Yudi i called and the deadline is today. But i got all my papers ready and the lady told me to submit it through the email as long as they get it by today it will go through
I have my Baptist scholarship on tuesday! Does anyone have any tips or pointers? Im extremely nervous because i heard this interview is harder than the Nova entrance interview.
I believe you have to pay for the background check I'm not sure most schools make you pay for it. I tried to do the shark account also but the temporary password wasn't logging me in.
