Hello future nurses !

I’m applying to clc program this fall (2019) I got all of my prereqs done and waiting on my CNA written test to renew my license. I took my NLN in January of 2019 and score in the 85%. I’m registered to retake the exam in September and it causes me a lot of anxiety, starting over with studying etc. Anyone got accepted with a score that low? Or should I really invest into studying and retaking it?

I got in for the following Spring! I am about to enter my fourth semester fall 2021. 
 

Are you enrolled or just prerequisites?

I already completed the pre reqs and recently took the NLN-PAX exam to apply for Spring since I past the fall deadline LOL! I am unsure if it's a competitive score considering it varies every semester! ? 

Also, congrats! How is nursing school at CLC?

It is very very hard. Not because of the material but the sheer volume of useless paperwork that is worth NO points. Tests are not hard but because you physically have no time to study because of endless, useless paperwork .
I was excited to start nursing school but my excitement completely disappeared by third semester. But I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! 
 

regardless of the test score you should apply! I know people who got accepted with very low scores. It just depends how many applicants are applying for that semester

It's all about perserverance and dedication! YOU. CAN. DO. THIS! FIGHTING! Good luck! I recieved in the 90's percentile and unsure if I shoudl re-take it to recieve a higher score? I am unsure if more applicants apply in the Spring or Fall? ?

Don’t retake it. You will get in with that score. Don’t fret! As far as applying I think you can apply for the Spring semester 2022.

Also, try Reddit nursing student or student nurse discourse . It’s more responsive than this .

What study material did you use? 
Thank you
