Hello, I'd like some objective advice from whoever would be so kind so as to provide it. I am currently in the 3rd semester of a 4 semester ADN program that is only accredited by the Texas Board of Nursing and which is currently on probation for poor NCLEX performance of prior cohorts. Also, this particular program is very unorganized, borderline unprofessional, and there is not much clinical time given. The lack of organization has resulted in several smart being delayed by upto a year in attempting to get their ADNs. That hasn't happened to me yet, but there isn't any reason it couldn't. Recently, I got into an accelerated BSN program that finishes 8 months after my ADN cohort will graduate. The BSN program costs roughly double what my current program costs, but it is known to produce quality nursing graduates. Also, I'd: get a LOT more clinical time at quality hospitals, be connected to the BSN program's larger university network should I wish to consider graduate school down the road, and be a lot closer to where I live. Also, I would finish roughly when my cohort will get their BSN's should they go to school full time after they finish their ADNs, or if they go part-time, I will finish with my BSN long before they will. One more thing. The program I am in now has a just barely acceptable NCLEX pass rate. The program to which I would switch has a near 100% NCLEX pass rate. It is also accredited nationally and not just by the Texas Board of Nursing. The reason I am asking this question here, even though it seems like switching should be the obvious choice, is because I will be starting my 4th and final semester in the ADN program when the accelerated BSN program starts. What would you do? Switch? or stay? Your help is appreciated. Please reply when you have a moment.

@ralcaraz22 me too. I'm wondering what is going on exactly. can I ask what your numbers were like?

has anybody still not heard back?

@cc_lee gotcha. thanks.

@cc_lee thanks for your reply. it makes sense. I am referring to the Fall 2022 application cycle, though. are you currently waiting around like many of us are?

@cc_lee were you accepted with those stats? denied? or you are waiting for an answer like a lot of us are?

the only thing that makes sense to me is that they are reviewing applications according to the dates when they are submitted. if that is the case, though, it's the equivalent of them having rolling admissions, which they claim they do not have. it's a head scratcher.

Hello Everyone, I have fairly good stats, too. I've been told by Cizik that they use the highest grade you got in any classes you retook. Given that information, I am 2 B's shy of a 4.0 and only have 1 B in my science classes, got a 93.6 on the HESI, and a 92 on the A&P portion of it. However, I am still only seeing that my application is "under review". I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.

I suspect that they will send more notifications tomorrow. If someone received their acceptance later in the day today, I'd imagine they will resume sending out more. They close their offices at 5 pm after all. Fingers crossed!

I just checked my portal, and it still says that my application is under review. Does it say that for anybody else?

I'm considering applying to the Cizik school of nursing, and I am wondering how well-put-together it is. If you have been through the program, do you have any opinion about it? To everybody applying, what have you heard about it? Anything?

Hello to All, I recently took the TEAS, and I am having kind of a hard time figuring out if my score is competitive or not. my lowest score was in Science at 83%. Reading was 85%. Math and Language usage were both over 90%. Total composite was an 88.7%. I'm reading that this is a good score, but is it? Nursing is super competitive these days, and there is always somebody out there that is potentially better... I also took the HESI. My lowest score was Reading Comprehension at 90%. The highest score was Math at a 98%. Composite was a 93.4%. What's the average at the quality BSN programs? Are these scores good enough, or should I consider retaking one or both of these exams? What are your thoughts? Your help is appreciated. Kindest Regards, MSane
