So far Cohort 26 is still scheduled for Pharm in June and then Foundations in July. After reading what is posted here, I sort of hope that maybe they will change it for us! Orientation is this Friday and the schedule for Nursing Theories and Models i...

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not even an official nursing student yet. However,the OP gave me pause and I wanted to ask some questions about CPS reporting. Are nurses mandated CPS reporters? (I thought so, but the OP makes me wonder.) If so, what kin...

Unless something has changed since I attended the information session or it is different at non-San Diego campuses, Accelerated Post-Bachelor and Generic Entry students attend the same "program" for nursing. The only difference at NU between the Acce...

I wish I could tell you how the nursing program is, but I haven't started yet. I have met a few ladies who have completed the program in San Diego and they all have positive things to say about the program. I will say that I have been attending NU s...

They offer all of the classes you'll need at NU. Since I'm assuming you'll be taking classes in Los Angeles, you should be able to get into the sciences relatively easily and you can have them knocked out in time to apply for your program by the summ...

How confusing! That page does make it appear as if the pre-requisites are part of the program. Here's a link to the pre-requisites. The accelerated post-bachelor degree is about halfway down the page, and the pre-requisites must be completed in order...

You must take the sciences, biomed stats and information literacy (ILR not required if you have a previous bachelor degree) before applying. If the Nursing application deadline falls while you are in the last month of your last pre-req. and you are t...

Also, is there anyone else on here who applied for the April 2011 cohort? I know it's too soon to have heard back yet, but I'm getting soooo anxious! Someone hit the fast forward button to get this waiting over with!

Hi 0402 and Meg! I'm also a Marine wife (and former active duty Marine). Here's the website for MyCAA. They recently changed the eligibility requirements. It is now based on your spouse's rank and "Funding is limited to only Associate’s degrees, cer...

I, too, was unable to get into the classes I wanted to take so I ended up taking the sciences with National University. NU has a campus in Ontario, which is where I took my A&P1. They're regionally accredited, so there shouldn't be any issues wit...

National's School of Nursing (clickly linky) offers the program in San Diego at their Rancho Bernardo campus. They accept applications four times a year. I'm not positive, but I believe the next application period is in November. If you go to the N...

If you're asking about the application period for April 2011 start, August 20 is the application deadline. I don't know if it is too late to add the Bio Stats for this month, but according to the information I received you could still take it in Aug...

My husband and I were a dual active couple in the Marines. We were already co-located (within 50 miles) when we married but my understanding was that if either of us had received orders the Marine Corps would have up to 12 months to station the other...

@ Lexus- For future reference, I purchased the McGraw Hill Book from Barnes and Noble, but you have to ask for it as it's kept behind the counter. I don't believe the ATI TEAS study book is available in stores. @ M♥J- Would you mind forwarding me you...
There's a thread on National University San Diego you might want to read where students have shared a wealth of information about NU and their program. I know it looks daunting (128 pages!), but there is a ton of helpful info in there for prospective...
When the answer to a question doesn't come to me right away, I draw a big arrow next to the question and move on to the next so I don't miss out on the easier questions because I got flustered over a difficult one. At the end of the test I go back a...

Thanks for the positive replies, prettyinpink57 and twilight_saturn. Congratulations to all beginning in October and good luck to others waiting to hear back and those waiting to apply.

Maiday has hit the nail on the head that each of us have our own motivations and circumstances which will factor into our decision. That said, I personally don't know that I will live in the same place long enough complete my BSN at a traditional uni...

I can see that the added experience would be a great confidence and skills builder for a nursing student and the face to face time with potential employers would be a sweet benefit so I emailed the nursing department directly regarding their lack of ...

I believe you have to take the NSG322 they offer (unless you were already enrolled as a student with National before Spetpmber 2009, in which case they will accept a general stats class). I've noticed a lot of the schools are moving toward requiring ...
