MB L&D is taking 10 candidates and everyone selected should know by Monday. Good luck everyone!!

Hi Medbro- so I briefly skimmed the posts after yours, so I think people have addressed the undergrad stuff. I concur that taking them at a CC is MUCH better financially. I do have a Bachelors, but still had to do most of the pre-reqs because I did...

Just to clarify on this, National accepts the top 50 of each application period (not top 20). If you haven't been to the nursing forum yet, they give most of this info there. :)

Nuhopeful47- I agree with the others who have commented on this. I can't remember the exact question either, but if you want to prepare ahead of time, you know that the question is going to be something along the lines of "why do you want to be a nu...

Hi Swede_girl726- Congrats on your acceptance! For the classes, you will all be together for the whole 23 months in theory classes. The labs and clinicals are broken up into 4+ groups, which gives you a good chance to get to know classmates a bit b...

ddvo87- If you check out page 151 of this thread, you'll see the first entry on that page (courtesy of DaleenMarine) gives a good explanation of the ranking system that NU in SD uses. Each applicant is assigned a score out of 100 based on this syste...

djxpress- I don't know anything about them trying to move to an online model... Our Theory class was half online and half in class, and the only other class I know of thats online in Nursing Research. Maybe there are others I'm not aware of, and may...

Actually- Fundamentals is actually an 8 week course, so we (cohort 24) have been in there since the beginning of the year. We have 3 weeks left, then get into med/surg. I'd love to meet the person who said Pharm was easy! It's 6 months of informat...

leixlani- I'm in cohort 24. We applied in Feb 2010 and TEAS tests were all scheduled by late March. I don't envy being in your place- for me that was the most frustrating time! Time seems to pass slowly, BUT- a good thing to do in the meantime is ...

Question for anyone in Cohort 23 or under: I'm scheduled to be in Fundamentals Jan and Feb 2011 (cohort 24). A very good friend of mine is getting married in Denver on Feb 20th (which is the Sunday before President's Day- not sure if the school obse...

The cut-off for Cohort 24 was 82.53. I think the Cohort 23 was in the 84 range. I'm assuming that the cut-offs for the cohorts that apply in August will be higher tho since I think more people apply to those (anyone who finished pre-reqs in the spr...

Hi all, I haven't written in a while and just thought I'd say congrats to those of you who were accepted to cohort 25, and good luck to those who are still applying and doing prereqs. I'm in cohort 24, which just started the first class on Septembe...

Swede_girl726- I also had all A's, and I was given the same info as you when I started taking pre-reqs. I'd say it's an accurate statement based on my knowledge. If you have any low B's or C's- definitely don't waste your time. ExPharmagirl has a g...

ps- did any of you at orientation happen to catch the title of the Health Assessment textbook? I wrote down the info she gave my, but don't have my note with me and was going to try and look it up to get it ordered. Can you provide the info if you ...

The test that they gave at orientation was a critical thinking test through ATI. So it is the same website and format as the TEAS, but the questions are really just random critical thinking questions to see your reasoning in various situations. Not...

Looking forward to seeing you cohort 24ers tomorrow at orientation! Can't believe it's finally here. I've been looking forward to this for months!! I know what you mean about business attire. Luckily my job has had "casual August" so, ironically, ...

Hi Danam28- many of us are just about to start this program next month, so can't give you too much feedback on the actual program (I think most of the current students are too busy with schoolwork! :)). I took a couple pre-reqs at National and they ...

FYI- per the below thread, it looks like this is being reinstated: https://allnurses.com/ca-nursing-programs/national-university-san-219120-page127.html

Hi- I'd recommend checking out the thread on National (https://allnurses.com/ca-nursing-programs/national-university-san-219120-page141.html). It's super long, but has gone on for a couple years. If you check out the last few pages, you'll get some...

ALIinSD- thank you so much for all of this info! It is very helpful to help plan! I hope you keep an eye on this thread as you could be/ are a great resource for those of us in the next cohort :) I'm going to try and work part time while doing the...

Hi annahleah- I only took A&P II and Micro at National, so I can only speak to those specific classes. However, I would recommend looking at the San Diego Community College district to take some of your prereqs. They're MUCH cheaper and many of...

I'm actually down in Mission Valley. The drive to classes will be kinda long, but I'm hoping the proximity to hospitals will be good. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone at orientation!

I just ordered mine on Amazon. Came out to $109, so you didn't miss any huge deals :)

I'm in the October 2010 cohort as well and was actually looking at the books requried for the first class yesterday. I found they were cheaper on Amazon.com than half.com, so maybe check that out. You should be able to get all 3 of them for about $...

I got my malpractice through NSO (Nurses Service Organization). I think it was the first suggestion they gave us in the orientation packet. About $20 a year- nothing pricey.
