I felt the NET test was surprisingly easy. If you can do basic fractions, decimals and other basic math you will do fine on the math portion. As for the reading, do your best to read each question carefully. From what I have heard if you don't do well on a certain portion you can take that part again. Good luck, hope you do well!

Hello

I asked what was the lowest for my class and they said 2.5. Have you applied at JTCC or JSRCC? I don't want to bash the school, but I will tell you this make SRMC you LAST choice. Ask them what their drop rate fail rate is and you will be shocked.

SRMC has changed over the years. When they were a 3 yr diploma school, they were the best around and made good nurses.

RBC dont not have a nursing program. RBC and SRMC has a something like a contract they are working together. In a year or two SRMC nursing school will be on RBC campus. They are building as I type.

Well, nobody wants to go to school for 3 years for a diploma! Thats rediculous. And I feel that SRMC produces just as good nurses as any other nursing school in the area. In each batch of graduating RNs you get the ones who know there stuff and the ones who know enough to pass the NCLEX... if you feel you work with inadequate RNs who are being produced by SRMC's school you should be the bigger person and try to guide them or if you feel so strongly, write them a letter.

SRMC's nursing school will have a building and facilities on RBC campus and they will probably no longer have their building in downtown Petersburg. They are not building a new facility, but RBC is vacating an old science building and the labs will be re-vamped for nursing. probably moving fall 2011 or spring 2012.

When SRMC school of nursing was a 3 year diploma school they had the best NCLEX passing rate around. Now since they changed their program in 2003 to a 2 year program they NCLEX passing ranked stinks. All the students nursing in the program was great. If you was not good as a student you would not have graduate from the program. Now their passing grade is a 75 or 76. Most nursing schools passing grade is a 80 and their NCLEX still low. There is something wrong.

They were a diploma school because they are part of a hospital. Most school which are a part of a hospital are/were either diploma or BSN programs. They professor all had MSN then, now they don't. People wanted to go to SRMC then because they knew what type of nurses they produced. You can asked anyone how the program used to be.

For the past 3 semesters SRMC has had 100 % pass rate on the NCLEX. :yeah:
