I figured it would be something like that.

I noticed on January 7th orientation on the instructions page, it says we will be taking the Kaplan test and have to pay for it. Anyone know more about this?

Just picked up my acceptance letter and instructions. Things will be moving very quickly from now on with having to get all the requirements done and checked off.

Yay. I am happy to hear that. I had class with him for 223 and 224 over the summer at NSC.

Yaay!! Congrats!! See you on Nov 6?

WellThatsOod. Wait, you're in right?

Congrats!!

My last name starts with a G by the way.

I'm in!!!!! Just got the call!!!!

Wow. In my case, time has flown by. I've been so busy with school and work that I've hardly had the time to think about the call dates. Now I'm really exciting knowing tomorow is finally the day. WellThatsOod count me in on the BLS CPR class. Goodluck to everyone.

So should I be worried with 40 points??? LOL (sarcasm by the way). 40 points feels like overkill. Only thing I am worried about is making sure I did everything correct on the application packet. I am going to have to schedule an appointment with -------------- to go over my application so I can put my mind at ease. I really hope everyone who is qualified get in especially because there wasn't that many applications which is kind of surprising.

Oh wow. But isn't your NSHE number on the score sheet? Thats the only concern the advisor had was that my full legal name doesn't show up that way on my score sheet but she said that shouldn't be a problem. I think I'm going to drop off my application packet today and while I'm there I'll bring up my concern to them.

Wellthatsodd Ill text you on monday. So I took my teas today and verdict is in......... I PASSED!!!!. Got an overal 82. That english language and grammer section didn't go so well though. Looks like I'll be applying with 40 points. Only thing left to do is meet with an advisor on monday and then turn my application in. Im so jealous of ViperJustin. I would have been halfway through nursing school had I decided to pursue this career since I took CNA course.

Yes that's the book. By the way, did you take your teas on the computer or paper and pencil?

OK I emailed NSC to verify what I was told and here's what they got back to me with. -PSY 201 and NUTR 223 (Biol 121) will/does substitute/satisfy the CHS 421 requirement. Only problem is that CSN doesnt offer PSY 201, but that can be taken online during the summer at NSC. -COM 101 will/does substitute/satisfy COM 412 requirement. COM 215 does NOT substitute/satisfy the COM 412 requirement, so it looks like we'll be taking another COM class, which can also be taken online by the way. -If you decide to skip PSY 201 and NUTR 223 and take CHS 421 instead, please be aware that there are prerequisites for that class: CHS 421 has NURS 319 as pre-requisite. NURS 319 has NURS 337 as pre-requisite and to my knowledge in order to take NURS 337(there is a version of this class specific to RN-BSN students) one has to be an accepted RN to BSN student so I don't see how CHS 421 can be a pre-requisite for the program. My head is spinning in circles right now. Heres my situation. I want to be proactive and take RN-BSN pre-req. courses this fall because all my requirements for ADN program are all done but at the same time I am nearing 150% attempted credits because I was going to UNLV for Engineering and all those credits transferred over to CSN. As soon as I reach 150% attempted credits they start charging an Excess Credit Fee of $44 per credit. So if I take courses for RN-BSN program this fall, that's more than likely going to put me over 150% before I finish the Nursing program at CSN and will then have to pay the Excess Credit Fee. My financial aid will be running out soon so if I don't take those classes required for RN-BSN soon, and take advantage of financial aid, I will have to pay for them in the future. Its one of those catch 22 situations for me right now. I should have just taken pre-req classes at NSC but it too late and my financial aid already disbursed yesterday. uhhh oh well. Plus I don't want to mess up my really good GPA with classes that aren't even required for the ADN program. Yes I am taking PSY at CSN. is the book Essentials of Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences?

Are you nervous or anxious? People tend to get that way when they turn in their application. I have my teas this Saturday. I met with an advisor at NSC and here's what I was told for the RN to BSN Program: -Chemistry is no longer required. -COM 412 is pretty much COM 101 -CHS 421 is PSY 201 and Nutr. 223(Biol 121 @CSN) combined I only have fine art, Psy 210, Psy 201, and Nutr. 223. I took Com 215 instead of Com. 101. I wonder if I could get a waiver. I don't want to take another communication class. I wish CSN offered Psy 201.

We were told at the last application workshop that at this point they're going with Kaplan.

I agree with the others. It is possible as I also took 223 and 251. I got an A- in both. 223 lab and lecture require the same about of time as if they were 2 separate science courses. Whatever you do don't procrastinate and leave things for last minute. 223 was not as bad as I thought it would be. I really enjoyed 251 lab, lecture not so much but it was definitely not boring or hard. Both courses will be time consuming so just plan accordingly. Oh and make sure you take advantage of the models available in the library and science resource center for 223 lab. On another note I did have a study partner that I'm sure was a huge help for me and was the reason I did good in 223. Study groups can be a really good thing if you use them for what they're intended for.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. I take mines on the 22nd. I have studied but not as much as I should be and it doesn't help that I'll be going to California for 5 days. I don't have a backup plan if I don't pass my teas. I probably should have planed for one. I wish you luck in what ever your next step is. Don't get discouraged.

WellThatsOod,(I don't want to use your real name because apparently its not allowed. lol) Do you happen to have an updated Program Requirement sheet for Rn to BSN program? I have an older one and I looked at the NSC website but the information is not matching up. Do you happen to know what additional courses are required there as pre-requisites for the RN-BSN program? I'll be at the Limited Entry Application workshop later today.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that. I take mines on the 22nd. I have studied but not as much as I should be and it doesn't help that I'll be going to California for 5 days. I don't have a backup plan if I don't pass my teas. I probably should have planed for one. I wish you luck in what ever your next step is. Don't get discouraged.

Have you taken your TEAS yet? I'm so nervous for it. Passing/ failing the TEAS is going to decide whether I make it into Spring 2016 or have to wait until Fall 2016. Yikes!!

How funny, I also have to do the health program orientation because I also don't remember when I went although I did record it and I'm sure I could just look up the date of the recording but I think I'll just go again. I went to the application workshop back in February and have my slip with the date but I think I will go again just in case I missed anything plus that was about 6 months ago. I may also go on the 4th. What shots specifically do we need to get? I got my Hepatitis B shots 2 years ago when I did the CNA program. My CPR Certification expires this month. Oops. I am going to have to see an advisor twice because my TEAS exam isn't until August 22 and I don't want to wait that long to see the advisor. On another note, I calculated my points. Provided I pass the TEAS exam, I'll be applying with 40-42 points depending on what my passing TEAS score is.

I am using the ATI study manual, TEAS V Secrets study guide (new book I think) and the McGraw Practice test book. I didn't buy them, actually checked them out from the school library. I am considering buying the online practice tests ATI offers. This TEAS exam is the deciding factor on whether or not I start the nursing program in Spring 2016.

I'm finishing up math120 this week. I have to check to see how many points I'll have. I still have my TEAS to take. Unfortunately I left it until super last minute to take it. I have less than 4 weeks to study for that. Hope everyones summers is going great.
