I'm applying for the 2-year ADN program (starting Spring 2012) and thought it would be helpful to start a thread and conversate with other ADN hopefuls!
I have nearly all of the pre-reqs completed (except for Chemistry) with all A's and 2 B's, and I'm also currently studying like a mad woman for the NLN exam, which I will be taking in the next month or so.....It would be great to hear back from other applicants (and students already in the program) to see how my stats (and others) match up.
Just took my NLN today and my final point total comes to 193 out of a possible 219. I'm missing Chemistry so I'm crossing my fingers that my score is good enough :)
Anybody know what the cutoff point or average point total for people accepted to the program for Spring 2011?
I applied to the fall class while still completing Micro and A&P2, if you are applying with courses in progress, it is so many points that you likely will not make it into the spring class. I had 172 points,(204 after the grades posted) and had heard previous class was high 100's (184 was only score I heard from someone accepted). Ended up being over 200 pts for those accepted to the fall class (I've heard 202 but not sure if that was official cut-off). Just keep studying and working toward your goals and apply next time. I had 99% on the NLN, just looked and I guess I have 154 on the new scoring report, so my total will be 259 points under the new scoring. Good luck everyone!
Good job pc2801. If you get a 99% on nln does that mean ur composite score is 154?Pretty sure u will get accepted with 259 points. I am behind you with 249 so I hope it is good enough. Good luck.
I believe that 200 is the maximum points on the new NLN score reporting. From what I read most scores will be between 50 and 150, so I'm assuming this is the typical "bell curve" of scores.
My points were updated as far as the courses I completed in the spring term are now reflected. Last week it still showed the points I had from when I applied to the Fall cohert. NLN scores were not updated, but I see Sunshine has posted information that they will not be seen online.
