Hello everyone, I have questions about Hampton University's VA Beach nursing program and I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who has attended there and if they could share their experience and some advice. Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows which scores on the NLN exam does Norfolk State looks at to determine if you passed? Or does anyone know what is the passiing score or what range you should be in for their nursing program? I just took the preadmiss...

Hey Determined, HU's Va Beach program is an accelerated 3 year BSN program, may take you about 2 1/2 years depending on what you have completed so far. I was told to come in as a transfer student you had to have at least 15 transferable credits and ...

Hey Virgolove, I did just like you and checked their NCLEX pass rates and they are good. I got accepted to NSU's program but something did not sit with me well there and due to other conflicts I passed. At the same time I applied at Hampton U-VA Bea...

I have heard that the Sentara BSN program is not accredited however that is due to it is a new program and they need to have a few graduating classes first. Their RN diploma program was accredited so I don't think getting accreditation for the BSN pr...

To gain admission I was told you have to have at least 15 transferable credits, I recommend get as many as you can. Also you want to make sure you have at good GPA. Out all of the classes I took at TCC, 19 of my credits apply to their nursing program...

Congrats on considering Hampton University's program....will you be trying to go to the main campus or the VA beach campus? I have not graduated from the program however I have been accepted into the program this year. I will be attending the VA Beac...

I know what you are talking about. It is the Hampton campus not the VA beach campus that is having the issues.

1. when is your start date? sept 6th 2 what state are you in? va 3 program (lpn,adn,bsn)? bsn 4 what is the one piece of advice you are holding onto right now? manage your time wisely and do some nclex questions each day to help you get prepare...

Unfortunately I will be leaving this group because I will not be attending the ADN program at this time. An opportunity to attend a BSN program came my way and I decided to go that route so instead of graduating in 2013 I will be graduating in 2014. ...

Thanks for the advice. I have looked at NSU's NCLEX pass rates and they were not that high. I also heard about the HESI from my aunt, she has to take it again in order to be considered a graduate of the program and to be be able to sit for her NCLEX....

Welcome and congrats to all the new people who joined this group!! Well I got my uniforms and shoes ordered, completed by CPR class and background check, and purchased my liability insurance. I turned all my paperwork into my school's nursing dept an...

Hey Chambo did you ever purchase your shoes yet? If so, what kind did you get? I went to order my uniforms today and she had me try on two pairs. One was Timberland and I can't remember what the other one was. Both were comfortable to me but these sh...

I know, it's getting closer and closer to that time for all of us to start.

I have not purchased my shoes either. I will probably get them from the uniform shop we have to order from or I may get them from this other uniform store that is right by my place.

Hey VannVann, I don't think it is too much. I think it is better to be well prepared and be ready to jump right in the first day of class. I think it is great they are giving you readings and assignments now that you can get done before the first da...

I don't know where the clinicals are. I figured they would be in Norfolk or VA Beach. I wonder how do we find out.

I will doing my clinicals on Wednesdays and Fridays

Yes you can so really you didn't miss out. Some people just wanted to be first in line with registering for the class sections they wanted. It took almost 3 hours to get registered so you are lucky you didn't have to sit through the wait and stuff.

Well orientation went well. There were quite a few speakers and presentations we had to listen to. Then after all of that we went to get our student IDs and we got to register for our classes!! It took about 3 hours to get registered but I was so hap...

The main things that you missed was getting your student ID and registering for your nursing classes.

Tomorrow is my new student orientation and we are suppose to be able to register for our nursing classes but according to my acceptance letter we cannot register until we turn in all the required documentation such as our phyiscal forms and immunizat...

Don't be discouraged. I would still apply and see what happens. At the same time you may want to look into applying at other nursing schools. I have heard that ODU is VERY competitive. Have you thought about Sentara's BSN program? It only takes 2.5 y...

All of my financial aid is processed and I know how much I'm getting for my Fall and Spring semesters.

It starts at 9am at the student center room 149. I remember receiving a post card in the mail about it several weeks ago but I didn't pay it no mind. I didn't think we had to attend it since we have our own thing we have to attend a week before class...
