See https://allnurses.com/tennessee-state-nursing/tsu-nursing-volstate-670093-page3.html I just graduated from the Main Campus TSU ADN program and it prepared me well for the boards. I passed the 1st time, with 75 questions (the minimum to take) in l...

Just graduated in May from the Main Campus @ TSU -- passed my NCLEX the 1ST time with 75 questions in less than 1.5 hrs...some people might argue, but I believe that the nursing program at TSU obviously prepared me enough to pass. Good luck to the ne...

Good point. If I remember correctly, some classmates of mine were able to buy the codes from Pearson's site for $50 or so...?

I think you're right. Maybe if you have a tablet or something, it might be good. Those books are HEAVY.

It is good to have because there are a ton of extra questions for each chapter. You may be able to share it with someone.

Vol State and Main Campus follow the same curriculum and syllabus.

In nursing school, it is so hard for my classmates to work their full-time jobs...they usually work 3 12-hr shifts on the weekends/weeknights. They have to work full-time, because they're the bread-winners. If you can afford to quit and sacrifice you...

Read ahead, take notes from your recordings, do lots of practice questions from NCLEX books, don't plan on having much of a social life, plan on having to pay $ for Evolve access (by El Sevier) every semester (at least we have), and try to enjoy it, ...

Try the Saunders or Kaplan books; they've been recommended by several that have taken the NCLEX.

Congrats, americangirl640! If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA & do you have any suggestions about applying for the program?

No, your counselor's misled...I will tell you firsthand that you need to be careful @ ANY school you attend. I've attended UTK, Ohio State, etc and crime is the same everywhere. I mainly attend the downtown campus & the nursing bldg. My classes a...

What was your score, if you don't mind & did you get into Vandy's MSN program?

Where did you hear that TSU's losing their accreditation? I haven't heard anything about it...they were just up for renewal this year (every school goes through it every 8 years)...?

Have you thought about taking your A&P/Micro this semester at say Nash St this summer and then transferring it? Might speed things up for you...?

If you can afford it, limit the hours you work in school. You'd be suprised! After your 1st semester of Fundamentals, you'll be able to qualify for CNA jobs, too!

Don't worry about registering, yet, either. When they have their "orientation", they'll usually assign the CRN #s for each person to use for their assigned sections. If someone registers for the wrong one, they'll let them know.

There are probably running late. Don't fret, they usually have a ~4hr "orientation" meeting to give you a heads up as to what to buy, read, etc.

Who's not accredited? I know that TSU is... I have heard that it is definitely important to graduate from an accredited school.

You'll be fine, in the long run. No matter which school we attend, the only thing that matters is if you pass your NCLEX... Whether it's Nash St, TSU, MTSU, Aquinas, Belmont, Vandy, etc -- we all take the same boards. Every RN I know says that it mat...

Yahweh, are you still in the program? I am and I can't wait to start again in the fall. Hey to 'Trice. :) Johnny_Depp, the class is diverse. We have a lot of guys in the program, too. Really neat.

TSU's main administration is not very organized and can be unfriendly -- keep copies of all paperwork submitted. However, I have not had any major issues with the staff in the Nursing dept. The NCLEX passing rate is expected to improve - changes are...

Good luck! Be sure to safe some $$$ up to buy your books before you get any $$$ assistance for the fall! You can expect to spend >$1K just in needed supplies, books, etc. You'll be lucky though to get a reading assignment prior to the beginning of...
