How important is that NLN? Southwest Tn Comm.


I got all A's in my pre-reqs with the exception of a 'C' in Statistics (Grrrr). But I only made a 115 on the NLN. I know a 100 is passing but I just barely made it. Do I still have a chance? How important is the entrance essay too?

You should be fine. I believe the nln is 10%. Good Luck!

Thanks, I appreciate the input. I see others that score 130's and 150's and I was a little intimidated! Im keeping my fingers crossed.

I made only a 115 and had about the same grades as you if not a little lower and will start on Monday! You should be good to go!! Don't let it totally overwhelm you. Save that for when you get in!! It all really depends on who applies with you. If you apply with people who have really high grades, then it might be harder, and vice versa. When I was applying I called the nursing department and they helped me figure out my "index" score and let me know what the cut off index score was for the previous class accepted. That can give you a good idea on how competitive you are as an applicant.

Thanks TNNursestudent21, that is a huge help, I am trying to save my worrying for later, I just cant help myself! Do you know how improtant the essay is? Mine was only one page. And I did receive my CNA certificate just to help grease the wheels a bit. I was hoping that would help as well
