I sat for the exam in Virginia to be licensed in TX. Took NCLEX-RN on Thursday morning. Waited all of 5 minutes before I was trying the "trick". I got the good message. Official results from BON took 10 days. Nclex trick= $0.00 Unofficial results from Pearson Vue= $8.00 Peace of mind knowing I passed NCLEX= PRICELESS

Hi Ladies, I was accepted into the Generic BSN program for Jan 2012. I was wondering if you guys had seen this post --https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/national-university-class-612463.html I don't know what to make of all this. Just wondering if any of you ladies know anyone in the program that can elaborate on this situation. I plan to graduate with my BSN from NU in 2013 and I don't want any nasty surprises, unnecessary headaches, and/or drama.

This will probably be my last post here... I called ------ to get a complete BSN program cost sheet. I posted it in the docs on our Cohort 29's Facebook page.

Orientation for my cohort (San Diego - 29) is November 30. What campus do you guys attend? What questions do you wish you had asked at orientation? Are you guys dissatisfied because they intentionally lied or mislead you OR is it because of the drastic changes they implemented during your program? I'm just trying to get to the bottom of this whole thing. I'm sorry you guys are going through this...

Hey guys. Hopefully everyone remembered to send a confirmation email to ----. To confirm your attendance at orientation and that you will begin the nursing program in January 2012 you must send an email to [email protected]. One of the following steps must be completed no later than Friday, November 11, 2011: Submit an email verifying you will be attending Orientation and will be ready to start classes in January 2012. This email is required in order to confirm your seat in this Orientation as well as your commitment to begin classes. If your name is not on the roster the day of Orientation you will not be admitted. Orientation is mandatory and you cannot begin the nursing program without attending Orientation. If you would like to postpone your enrollment for a time period not exceeding 12 months you may do so by filling out the attached “schedule change request form.” It is included as a file along with all Orientation materials that accompany this email. Please submit this by the due date above if you wish to postpone your enrollment. If you do not plan to attend National University’s Nursing Program please fill out the “schedule change request form” and indicate you no longer wish to begin this program. Your prompt response is appreciated so that we may have this position open for other applicants ready to begin the program. As a courtesy, please submit this form by the due date above if you wish to withdraw from the Nursing Program at National University.

Depends on what you call an average GPA. Most nursing students make A's and maybe B's, rarely C's. I was accepted into Cohort 29 with a 3.68 core GPA.

The group is National University Cohort 29 San Diego

I have a Fb page. I'm not near a pc right now. Typing this from my Android. If you make one I'll join or I can make one later tonight.

Hi Phegley. Are you taking SPN 341 next?

The teas is free. But they don't schedule you for it until after you have applied to their nursing program.

I take it on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Southbay campus. So far there's only one other person in our cohort there. What night is your class?

My apologies. It won't happen again.

Hi Phegley Its at the South bay campus. class #61508 SPN 340A. Spanish for the Work Place. With ------ Next month I have -------- Spn 341. class #65827

I attended the Nursing Forum last November. I didn't hear about the changes until I joined this site. NU's Nclex pass rate has hovered in the 70's for the last 5 years. http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/passrates.shtml I'm happy they made the changes, but I can only imagine what it was like for those who were already in the program. It's not what they changed, it's HOW they chose to implement those changes. Nursing Programs change all the time, but usually those changes apply to future cohorts, not existing cohorts. I'm not sure I like the possibility of drastic changes to a Nursing program I'm already in. My heart is dead set on graduating in 2013 with my BSN, I just don't want any nasty surprises. I asked ------- about clinical sites, she said the schedule comes out 4 to 6 weeks before the class. She never mentioned which hospitals. I live in Eastlake but a few of my old classmates lived in Temecula. I'm so happy I was accepted into the program, but at the same time I'm careful with my money.... I don't want to make any mistakes that I can't afford to regret.

I forgot to include the link to the alleged changes https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/national-university-class-612463.html

I've never been written up for calling in sick, but then again I ALWAYS drop the note off as soon as I leave the doctors office. Its been that way for so long that now, I just have the doc fax the note to my job. Since you're still in orientation verify that those five days cover your time off. Just to be on the safe side

Congratulations everyone! I was also accepted to Cohort 29. I was trying to find information on orientation and I found this thread. I took A&P with ----- and Micro with ---- at Spectrum during the day. I'm taking SOC 500 now, followed by Spn 340a in Nov and Spn 341 in Dec. I call NU today and talked to ------- for about 15 minutes. She said our orientation date is Nov 30-Dec 1. She confirmed that they have made a lot of changes to the program to increase NCLEX pass rates. She also said funds are not due at that time, but will be billed the same way our classes are posted. Have you guys received packets yet? That's the one thing I forgot to ask about.

Hi there, I've already applied and was just accepted to the Nursing Program at National. Have they attempted to resolve your concerns? Any advice to incoming students?

Take it after and be sure to study the guide.

Just remember to carry health snacks in case you don't uave time to eat properly at work. Fast food is not our friend

I've seen a patient putting earwax on a cold sore.

Nursing will always be there but the window for having children has an expiration date. Following your heart and you can't go wrong.

Hcute video, but it's very odd to see a Nurse doing a CNA's job (potty, position, asking about pain). That's not to say Nurses don't make rounds. But if she's doing the Potty and the position what's left for the CNA?

Is there counseling avaliable at your job? The first step is dealing with the Depression. I hope things get better for you.
