San Diego National University Cohort 68

[DE1234DE]

Hi! I wanted to see what people were planning on applying with for Nationals San Diego Cohort 68. The application deadline is Mid August 2021.

I am not quite finished with my pre-reqs yet nor have I taken my TEAS, but I will update when I have!

My goal is no lower than a 3.6GPA, and 86% or higher on the TEAS

Hey guys! My name is Amber Kim. I was looking for another post, but came across yours and thought I'd pop in to say hi. I'm apart of Cohort 60 at NU (we graduate in 3 months).

I wanted to let you know I'm here if you guys have any questions or need advice. I remember how stressed I was applying for nursing schools, and I can't imagine how stressful it must be with covid going on.

Let me know if you need anything! Message me here, on facebook @Amber Kim or instagram @amberjkim_ (whichever is easiest) ❤️

Hi potential Cohort 68 students!

Just have a question if you haven’t taken the TEAS - have you found any testing centers that are open in SD? Or it’s all in-person for now? I’m trying to schedule a test, I’d rather do an in-person cuz doing it online last time gave me so much anxiety! 
 

also, I’ve been getting conflicting advice - is there a limit on how many times we can take the TEAS or no?

 

thank you so much!

The last time I signed up I believe it gave me the option to choose an in person test but I’m not sure the locations. I was told that you can take the TEAS as much as you want but there is a 30 day waiting period in between each test you take

There’s no limit to the number of times u can take it but you can only submit 3 TEAS scores to National. (AKA u can only apply 3 times)

Make sure you don't share your results unless your satisfied with your score!

Hi guys! 

I just became eligible to apply for 68! So excited!! I haven't taken the TEAS yet. I have 2 1/2 weeks to study before my test. Is that enough time? I'm kind of nervous because I heard there is some Chem questions and I didn't take Chem! 

Pre req GPA 4.0 

Cum: 3.7 

LVN 7 years currently in PEDS at Radys Childrens Hospital.

Study chem there is a pretty good amount of chem.I will retake again to improve my score. 

[Nurseinwaiting9]

What was your score? 

I'm kind of wondering if I should reschedule my test date to get another week of studying in. Super nerve racking. LVNs only have 5 spots to fight for so IDK how that will work in my favor. 

I saw a CNA that got denied in the last cohorts had a 4.0 and 80+ TEAS and I'm like what?! I hope this cohort isn't as competitive.
