First class Nursing Theory is half in class, half online. Meet only once a week for 5 hours for 4 times through the month.

Hello to everyone that is applying for Cohort 58 ABSN program at the San Diego location for National University. This is going to be my first time to apply. Getting more nervous as the October Application date approaches. I feel confident in my score...

I was not a student there. I was still taking pre reqs from National and called them up for a date 3 weeks out. Very stress free and i liked the setup with having your own private cubicle, which is unlike the National one with someone to your left an...

You can take the TEAS as many times as you want BEFORE you apply to Nationals cohort. There is no limit to the amount of times you can take it. If you take it ONLY at National when you apply for the cohort, the Max is 3. I took it before at SDSU mon...

Cohort 58 Total score cut-off: 86.28 Average Essay that got in: 4.23 Average TEAS that got in: 88.81 Average Overall that got in: 90.02

I got in also guys. This is a huge release of emotions. Thanks for the support here guys. Kept me sane through all of this. See everyone at pre orientation date.

So no break for you! Though you probably deserve one. Sooner the better everyone says. Good luck!

Gotcha man, and Good luck!

Well... 49 spots left! Seriously though I hope that I can get this process behind me and focus on my professional career as a practicing nurse. Excited to meet others also after this is all done Samantha. Good Luck!

Very nice TEAS. You gave yourself a great shot for this cohort. It is very subjective in how they grade the essay. Are they grading for a well-constructed essay and it answers the prompt given, or are they grading on how it makes them feel about us a...

Too bad you couldn't go forward with this application period for Cohort 58. I don't blame you for not wanting to waste your second try at National University. I by-passed Cohort 57 myself and I don't regret it at all. Have a friend that did make it....

I ended up with the same exact grade of an 86. My head wasn't in it anyways. I didn't focus on anything but being able to write that essay. It was so cold in that room, so bring a jacket.

I felt the essay went well. I noticed that everyone I spoke with had a prompt that has been communicated from the writing center advisors, or seen on these boards. If you can be ready for those then you will be ready for sure. Didn't hear any other c...

You are not the only one. I had a dream I went into the essay on Tuesday and had my thoughts blank out on me. This has given me anxiety while I am awake. I have told myself to really think for a minute or two before starting to type to really proces...

I made a trip to Rancho Bernardo campus today to check out where to park and which room the essay and testing site is. Seemed simple enough to find the room. There was a tour with the most recent cohort 57 walking through with a guide showing them th...

Congrats on getting bumped up to Cohort 57. Saw your post on previous cohort page.! I like the number of 140 applicants. I wonder how the addition of LVN-BSN applicants is going to change the acceptance rates. Seems very sudden for you guys to just n...

I'm right there with you Oliver. 86 on my TEAS 3.84 GPA. You are in a great position like I am to just focus on the Essay. I also believe I can increase my TEAS a bit, but the energy and effort it will take may take away from focusing on being ready ...

My test date is for the 13th. I'd rather be early to get the essay out of the way. I'll take the TEAS for a second time, but its all about the essay for me. I have not heard the amount that has applied yet. I assume a few will not show to their essa...

I've taken the TEAS once so I do know what to expect for the most part. The English/Grammar will be my most difficult area so I have been focusing on that. Other than the ATI TEAS prep book, any other online resources for Grammar/Sentence structure t...

First off, congratulations on acceptance into Cohort 57! Thank you for reaching out. These next few weeks will be deciding how to approach the essay with a compelling story while answering the essay prompt given. Any help would be great. I'm aiming ...

Well, I looked back at the application dates and it now shows 10/22 deadline. Not sure for the reason it changed, but I hope it is because they needed more applicants.

Way to go!

Today is the final application date for Cohort 58. We should get an email in a week with our dates. If anyone gets the total of those applying this go around, let us know. Good luck to everyone!

These were pulled from a previous post. I have gone to the writing center as well and he gave me these same ones. What we focused on in the meeting was to describe nursing as an art, and nursing as a science. All of them are fair game. Just write abo...

Possibly, but who knows. As soon as October 19th passes they usually have the amount of applications available if we ask. I'm waiting to see until after we take our TEAS/Essay for the actual amount. Last cohort many didn't show up and it dropped the...
