Has anyone had any luck with applying at National University for their nursing program? I applied back in Oct 06 and have been waiting to hear from them. They are supposed to notify in 3 months. I have called and called and written email upon emai...

Hi everyone!! I am applying to National University in San Diego for their BS Nursing program. They require a personal statement as part of the nursing application. Can anyone give me some ideas on things I may include in this letter? Any advice would...

Just an update for all who read this post......I actually finally got an acceptance letter about a week ago. Doesnt start me until the January class though. I am also applying to SDSU and am hoping I can just get into that program now. It is a who...

Awesome!! Thanks for the clarifications. This is definitely something very good to know.

Pumpkin, Can you please explain this perkins loan stipulation for nurses? Are you saying that regardless of where you work as a nurse, that you can submit that yearly and not have to pay back the perkins loan? thanks for the clarification

I was wondering if anyone has prior experience as an EMT and if it would be beneficial to nursing school? I was thinking about taking EMT course while waiting to get into nursing school. And, to maybe get a little income coming in. Any input would...

I was hoping to get some good advice from some experienced nurses. I am currently doing my prerequisites for nursing and am hoping to actually begin the nursing program sometime in spring 08. However, I have been having lower back issues since May ...

I appreciate everyone's response to my question. I have decided that I am going to continue with my desire to be a nurse. I am still able to lift, stand for long periods of time, sit, etc.. but I guess I am going to have to be extra careful. I obt...

You don't need to do anything for that. A good person to call is Joel Sedeno. He is in charge of the nursing applications and will walk you through everything you need to do to apply. Just be aware that they say it is a 3 month decision period but...

When did you put in your application? When did you find out? I submitted my application in Oct 06 and wondering what is going on? Have not heard anything from them at all yet. This has made me wonder whether i want to go to this school at all eve...

Just be cautious when buying books from Half.com or e-bay. Make sure you check the seller's rating and how long they have been members. And if the price really seems too good to be true then it probably is. I got scammed twice in the same semester...

Thanks for all the input. I really appreciate it. I believe I will go ahead and do it. The one I am looking at is an 8 week course starting around mid June. Thanks again

I average 15 credits a semester. It still seems like it will take forever to finish my prereqs. Summer should be my last semester if I take the last four classes I need which include Organic Chem, Eng 205, Child Development, and one american instit...

City College is a waitlist. GPA plays no part in selection at all, which I find pretty irritating! Anyway, yeah those colleges are too far for me to travel to.

Catzy, Which CC do you go to where grades matter? I would love to find that school close by!! I have pretty much decided that I will just go ahead and apply to SDSU for their Spring program. I have the grades for it, just need to do my volunteer w...

Hey!! Thanks for the response. I am currently taking classes at City College. I only applied for the nursing program at National. is your friend planning on going to nursing school there?

I applied to National University here in San Diego in Oct 06 and am still waiting for a letter. It is only supposed to take 3months (4 at the most). It is now going on 6 months and driving me absolutely crazy. I have called and called but still no d...

stobbe, It is very possible to take 2 science classes and still get A's. It is just a lot of hard work and studying (and not missing classes). Last semester, I took Chem and Bio together with an Eng and Hist class and got all A's. This semester I ...

Awesome!! I am working on my personal statement now! I am confident that I will be able to "woo" them with it. Good luck!!

Yes, I believe they are accepting applicants for July 07. That is actually when I am trying to get in. I decided to go to National because the waitlist is so long at the community colleges and I can actually start the nursing program almost a year ...

I took Bio and Chem together last semester and had no problem with it. Actually, some of the information covered is repeated. It is a lot of Lab time though. Just study and read your text and you should be fine.

CNAlady..I am applying to National U also. If you find out this information, can you please pass it on. I would greatly appreciate it. Also, have you already been accepted into the program there? If so, can you give me some tips on maybe what the...

Last semester I took chem, bio (pre, pre-req), eng, and a history class together and got A's in all of them. I asked my bio professor what science classes to take together and he recommended taking them seperatly, but if you must, take micro with an...
