Hopefully everyone will get in! Ive read past forums and I also know several previous IRSC RN students and I know people who got in with scores in the 155 range so it really just depends on the pool of applicants the time you apply, I applied in 2016 with a 3.4 GPA and 156 score and didn't get in or even an alternate spot but when I applied then, many people must have scored really high.
Also, the first time i took the NLN I got a 121 - I had no idea what to expect going into it and I barely studied for it, this time I gave myself 4 weeks, studied 5 days/ week, I went through the entire red book, bought the NLN PAX app, did the entire app, made vocabulary flash cards and if there was a topic i did not understand I looked it up on youtube and cliff notes to broaden my knowledge on it... I also bought the practice exams on the NLN website and did all of those, many questions I had were repeats.. I was really surprised when I saw my score because the test was still extremely challenging with all the studying I did.
But good luck to everyone, hopefully any day now we will get the letters - keep checking your student email.

Hello, This will be my second time applying for IRSC's RN program, first time around I had a total of 156 points and did not get accepted. This time my total is 184, I am feeling good about my score but I am still nervous until I get that acceptance letter!! I am really hoping I get in. Just wanting to see who's applying!
