Renting a book vs buying new is recommended. You will never need a brand new book with all the codes. Other than the APA manual, you really don't need the book when you are finished with the course. Another idea is to email the professor and ask if it is OK to use the prior edition of a book. I saved a lot of money that way. Most of the time, the prior edition is fine and I could find it on ebay for cheaper than renting. (the courses that you really need the newest books are 306, 417, and 490W. The rest you are fine with the edition prior to the one they recommend in the syllabus)

I used UWorld and Hurst Now. UWorld has great rationales, and you learn so much from every question. Hurst was good for a summary of content, and the videos were helpful in teaching you how to think through the questions and not be the 'killer nurse.' When I had a hard time choosing an answer, I would use the tips that Hurst gave me and I really think it helped me pass NCLEX.

Have any May grads in Virginia gotten their ATT yet? If so, how many days did it take to get the ATT after the letter of attestation was sent in by your school?

Is there a coupon code for this or did the deal expire

I took the online CHEM with Lab through Clovis CC in Mew Mexico. LP was my professor, I highly recommend him. Most of the other students in my class were RN-BSN students in Ohio. I took it to fulfill the ODU RN-BSN requirement, it was transferred in without any issues.

Hang in there! Exams end Friday, I don't think you will hear anything until Friday 5 pm at the earliest. Last year exams ended May 8 and we heard May 10.

Hi! I think you don't hear much from nursing students because we are all busy studying ? I'll try to help out with some info. I am in the second semester of the nursing program. It is a new curriculum (all the community colleges in Virginia have switched to a concept based curriculum) so we are the first cohort to go through it at NOVA. Although things can sometimes be unorganized, you will find the same complaints from people in other local nursing programs. The first semester is very intense and stressful, but my advice is to be as organized and flexible as you can. I also recommend you take any of the first year coreqs that you don't already have (BIO 142, BIO 150, etc) over the Summer before you start the program. Don't worry about starting a coenrollment RN-BSN program first semester...focus on NOVA. Second semester is a good time to start a coenrollment program (GMU and ODU are two options). The nursing faculty are extremely supportive and work very hard to ensure we are getting a good education. They are good at seeking out student feedback and are very pro-student. Nursing school is tough, but you have to remember nursing is a job where we are responsible for patients lives. NOVA has a great reputation among local hospitals, and recent graduates have no issues finding jobs. Overall, I would say it is an excellent program. Good luck to everyone who applied! ?

I just started the odu rn bsn program, besides 3 of the classes needing to be taken at a certain time, I have been able to plan the other 7 classes whenever I want. 10 classic total here. I saved $5,000 by doing odu instead of gmu which is huge.

After being told that one of our lectures would be online, and then that two would be online, we are ending up with zero lectures online. Prepare to spend the first semester either on campus or at a clinical 4-5 days a week. One day, that may mean being on campus for a 50 minute lecture. Another day, you may be there for 6 hours. It really makes it difficult if you have any work or family obligations outside of school.

I got in too! Here is a link to the faq that has more info regarding the first semester courses. http://www.nvcc.edu/medical/_files/nursing-program-faq.pdf

Did you have to take any proctored exams or was it mostly papers/projects? Do you know of anyone who did the GMU RN-BSN? Trying to decide between ODU and GMU and get as much info as possible on both.

Has anyone heard about the RN-BSN concurrent program through ODU? That seems to be a good option.

No, nothing here yet. Did you retake the teas yet?

Thanks for posting! Ugh, 3 weeks. Did he say at all about how many they are looking at taking? Someone posted 100-150, wonder if it is still the case.
