   ERnursebythebay replied to joe1994's topic in Alabama

   Well it's hard to know for definite because it will depend on how many apply and what point totals they have. But, I think that's a pretty good total and will hopefully increase your chances. I guess it's bad that I can't remember for sure but I thin...

2. Faulkner state community college nursing point totals?

   ERnursebythebay replied to joe1994's topic in Alabama

   ERnursebythebay replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

   While I admire your attitude and drive to be your best, I think you missed the author's point altogether. I have to wonder, have you actually started nursing school or are you like the majority that come in with a 4.0 and think it's going to be like ...

8. FAILED NCLEX!!!!

   ERnursebythebay replied to jamesdo01's topic in NCLEX

   If you haven't already, I suggest the Hurst Review. Yes, it does cost a good bit but in the long run it's worth it if it helps you pass. She does such a great job of explaining things in a way that makes it stick with you and she gives some pretty go...

    Thank you very much and good luck on your interview. My interview was actually very low key and I didn't get asked a lot of scenario type questions but it wouldn't hurt to be prepared for a few just in case. In my case, they wanted to know what I cou...
