Hey I'm on the same boat as you! New to this forum with almost the same grades! I have not taken the TEAS yet still studying and debating weather to apply for the April or July cohort I am also very concerned about my grades. Good Luck!

Thanks for the encouraging words. I too received low B's and 2 C's in my sciences and was beginning to feel down after reading a few of these post.

Hi All, I just finished my prereqs for the BSN program. I plan on applying in April, currently studying for the TEAS. However I didn't do so great in the core classes, averaging to around B-C. My GPA is the min requirement, I'm just concerned with the likely hood of acceptance.

Hi all, I was wondering if the financial aid that national university provides isn't enough what type of student loan can I get to cover the extra costs and where can I get this type of loan. I'm currently completing my prereqs at NU and the aid doesn't cover the entire tuition amount for my first year. Thanks!

Hi all, After reading all the threads on National University, I've been able to get great insight as to how the program will be. I am still in the processes of completing my prereqs and still have a while to go. I was wondering if anyone can provide any info on the financial aid or direct loans. Unfortunately I wasn't able to qualify for grants and I've learned that the direct loan amount won't cover my whole tuition. Since I'm a first year student I will have to pay $2,100 on my own or through a private loan if I choose. My question is how have you guys manager to pay for tuition? Private loans? How many loans? I worry because I have poor credit. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am currently enrolled at National University and will be completing my pre-requisites for the BSN program. Then once all is completed I will be applying into the Nursing Program. I had a few questions regarding the University. I was wondering what is the difficulty level of the courses. I know they are 1-2 month long classes meaning they are fast paced. I also work fulltime, working 3 12 hour shifts a week. Any input of anyones experiences at the university would help. Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I was a bit confused hearing from various people that it mattered. But I always thought that it shouldn't make a difference. So ADN program here I come. I'm turning 21 and just want to finish school already! :plsebeg:

I'm looking into Nursing programs and can't decide weather to go for my ADN then do the step up to BSN or purse my LVN first then do the step up to BSN from there . I guess what I want to know is if the pay differential between ADN and BSN are significant. Ay type of insight would be great

I didn't know about these programs, but I'm glad I took my time to look into things and didn't end up going to Concorde or Maric which is what I had planned. Thanks!

Hi I had a question regarding Grossmont College's ADN program and their Partnership with Scripps. I'm currently at CNA Scripps and heard about this partnership from a friend. I'm looking for a good program that won't cost me an arm and a leg, and this seems to be the perfect one besides the wait list that was told to be 4 years. But learning about this partnership will I have to wait the 4 years? Below are a few more questions. How does this partnership work? (process and qualifications) How long would I have to be on the wait list? What is the process of admission into the program? Any information would be great! THANKS!

Hi I'm interested in applying for the program also and was just wondering how long were you on the wait list? Also I heard that they have a contract with Scripps and if you are an employee at Scripps then you have priority on the wait list? Is that right? I just don't know if I should go for my LVN now rather than wait to get accepted into the ADN program?

I wanted to ask the same question. I'm currently contemplating weather to purse my LVN first then do the step up to BSN, or go for the ADN program at Grossmont then do the step up to BSN after. I feel like it would be kinda of fast, I also work for Scripps Mercy Hospital and they have a contract with Grossmont college so if you are an applicant for the program and an employee at Scripps then you have priority on the wait list. So I've heard, So I don't know what I should do... Anyone have any insight ?

SDstudentVN I'm going to start healthcare essentials in Aug and was wonder how difficult was the TEAS test? Also if you know how many students they accept? Thanks!

I had an appointment yesterday with an advisor and the cost of the BSN program is $40,806. That is for the program itself, you have to get your prereqs done. Its suggested you take them at a jc, if you take them at the University it's very costly because each class runs for only 4 weeks. Each class or prereq taken is about $1,278.

Hi, I actually came in for an appointment with an advisor at National University yesterday for some information regarding the LVN-BSN program. I'm trying to get into Grossmonts ROP LVN program and when I finish I hope on attending National for the LVN to BSN. They had told me about the prereqs that I need to take and said it would cost about 29,000 for the LVN-BSN program. As for as wait list, they informed me that you have to apply, take an entrance exam (TEAS test) then they will let you know if you got in or not. So it all depends on how well you do on the TEAS test as well as in your prereqs. Hope this helps!

Hi, I am actually trying to get into the program at Grossmont. I'm going to take healthcare essentials this Aug. and currently working as a CNA at scripps but I wanted to know how hard the TEAS test was? And what percentage do you have to make in order to get in? And how many applicant do they accept per class? I have the ATI study guide and I hope that helps me :uhoh21: I'm super nervous.

I looked into both, I believe you do have to be a CNA for both. I am currently studying for the TEAS test for grossmont and will be taking healthcare essentials this August. I have a question to RachelH, you said you're in the LVN program at grossmont. I was wondering how hard the TEAS test was ? Also I took healthcare essentials 2 years ago but dropped de to family issues, will they allow you to retake it?

Hi I know at National University its about 29,000. I went in a couple days ago for some information on the LVN-BSN program and they give you guideline as to what prereq's you need and where you can take them that are transferable. Where did you get your LVN at? I'm looking for a good LVN program thats cheap, I'm considering Grossmont ROP.
