Good luck today! I hope you all do well on your exam. I have been in constant communications with school officials and am finally enrolled in the OB course that starts next month. Hopefully, I don't have to go through this whole ordeal again with Ped...

Hello, I was a Navy Corpsman and was eligible to challenge the LVN board without having to go to school for it. Once I obtained my LVN license, I applied to the LVN to BSN nursing program at National University in San Diego. I completed the program i...

I'm sure you'll do great! I hope you get the score you want on Friday so you will only need to do the essay next week.

Have you taken the teas at SDSU yet? Either way good luck!

I went to school in California. I didn't realize I posted in the international forum. This is my first time starting a thread.

My friend is also applying to the same program as you. She's scheduled to take the teas next Wednesday at national.

I've been on the wait list for those classes since May. National says cohorts come first. They have also told me that since those classes are hard to get in to that they will test me out. Again, they have been saying that since May. They have given m...

I completed the LVN to BSN program at National, but I'm in a very unique situation where I am still not eligible to take the NCLEX, because I challenged the LVN board due to my military experience and the RN board won't let me take the exam until I t...

That's great! You did awesome, and 86% gives you 25.8 points. As long as your gpa is high and you didn't repeat any classes I'm positive you'll get in. You did an amazing job!

There are other books that can help you, but I recommend focusing on the ATI study guide to help you. The science portion is the hardest, but if you focus on the other 3 sections you should still get a good score. I took the exam and was still able t...

The ATI study guide is a great resource for the TEAS since NU has a contract with ATI. Throughout the nursing program you will have to take ATI exams and pass with a level 2 in order to pass the class.

It has to be 60 days in between exams if you're taking it at NU. If you take it outside of NU there's no time frame that you have to wait in between each exam. If you are applying to other schools you should check what their policies are.

Good luck to both of you and I hope both of you get in. You can also take the TEAS at SDSU every day until you get the score you want. NU let's you take the TEAS an unlimited amount of time, you just have to submit a score by the day of your schedule...

You are not required to pay the orientation fee of approximately $3,000 on the day of orientation. NU will charge the amount to your account like it's a class. Congratulations to all that got accepted!

I started my program this past February (LVN-BSN). I love my classmates. I feel like I've been pretty much teaching myself. The program is disorganized and some of the teachers seem like they don't even want to be there. I guess the same could be sai...

Honestly, NU is very disorganized. The main reason why I applied to NU was because they are accelerated so I can sit for the NCLEX sooner. I kind of wish I applied to a different school, but the thought of going to school longer doesn't appeal to me....

Yes, that is correct. NU only calculates your science GPA, TEAS, essay, and number of attempts. My GPA was 3.8, 80% on the TEAS, and I got full points for the number of attempts. I don't know what I got on my essay.

I guess the Spanish courses are only required in the Generic and LVN-BSN program.

Spanish in the work place is a prerequisite for the nursing program. I recommend meeting with a counselor and submitting your transcript to see what would be transferable. I don't recommend going to the pre nursing forum until you're almost done with...

The Generic Entry BSN program is 22 months and about 40k. The LVN-BSN program is 15 months and about 30k. It is possible to work and be in the program. So far the program is ok. There's a lot of material to absorb. I recommend taking the TEAS at SDSU...

I emailed you. Let me know if you got it. I hope it helps

It said the same thing when I tried to PM you. I think you have to have at least 20 post before you can PM anyone.

What's your email address? There's a really good webpage I just found that will totally help you with the TEAS

NU does not give you points for volunteer work. There for 4 sections that you get points for: number of attempts to pass a class, science base, TEAS, and essay. I would get the book and read a little at a time. I rented the book for $20. I do not sug...
