Well guys I took the NLN today and I have to say it wasn't easy and I am worried(of course i am a chronic worrier so...) For anyone who hasn't had experience with this exam.....3 parts.....1st verbal/reading/vocab....80 questions in 60 minutes. 2nd math....54 questions....60 minutes.....3rd science....80 questions...60 minutes.

No pee breaks...5 minute stretch break between sessions and if you had to go to the bathroom you had to go one at a time during your test taking time. 214 questions of which 200 count....I need 100 to pass for my school. I ran out of time on reading and vocab and think I ended up with 5 blank though so thers 5 and same thing with math......these were not easy math problems...they were hard and I don't know how many didn't get an answer. In hindsight I wish I had filled in something, but it's too late now. I am guessing I had 20-25 blank from running out of time so I am now terrified. I am really strong in reading and vocab though so I am hoping that I got alot of those right and hopefully at least 20 math....that would leave half the science right to get my 100........please keep your fingers crossed for me!!!! Thanks.....I have to wait a couple of weeks for the results now....and I am not patient!

Well, got the scores back today. :) 154 composite, though our school doesn't look at raw scores - they look at percentiles. I don't have a percentile score below 90%, so... Looks good for spring term admission.

Clinicals, here I come. ;)

AAARGGH!!!!!! I still haven't received mine yet!!!!!! Watching the mail everyday.....It's about to drive me nuts...good job.....I know I didn't do that well. From everyone I have talked to that is a really high score.......

It came today FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! To me being older and out of school for a while this was "HARD" so I was thrilled to get a 117 out of it. We have to have 100 to be considered for admission to nursing school so I will call for my appointment Monday morning for an interview.......

I still do not have mone but am so proud of both of you I have my final paperwork tuesday don't know if I should go I don't know if I passed math and am quite sure i did not:o

FANTASTIC You Guys!!!! Are you both starting in the Spring? I'm starting Spring '03 (January).

For entrance, our school goes by the ACT Score and GPA.

Attempting to start in the spring, but we will not find out if we got in until after Thanksgiving.........

Ditto what Robin said. :) Well, sort of. They said not to call the office unless we hadn't received our letters by November 7th... So it's nail-biting time until then. ;)
