I plan on applying to IRSC's Nursing program for Spring 2017, and thought I would create this thread for us to talk about the application process! I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to study for the NLN? I keep seeing that they're updating the exam on IRSC's website, so I'm not sure if I should use the current study materials? Also has anyone had troubles figuring out transfer credits? I will have a BS from FSU and the courses that I've taken for A&P and Microbio have different course codes than the ones IRSC offers.
Good luck to everyone who plans on applying! Hopefully this thread can be as helpful as the last few semesters' threads have been.
I would take a look at biology in depth, like not even just about the cell. Some of the questions were a little weird. You can't really study for some of the questions, you just need to think them through. The book had a lot easier questions in my opinion. Make sure you know the formulas for physics I had a couple of those. Don't be too worried about it, the majority of them were easy I just flagged the ones I didn't know and it went back to them so I could really think them through.
I took my NLN yesterday applying for the RN program. I only got a 114. I'm hoping to get in for the LPN transition to RN program. I have 31 points for a total of 145 oon my application and I am also an LPN. I applying to a few other schools as a backup

Hey I'm new to this website and I just took the exam! Math section was super easy I had enough time to go back. I'm glad they allowed us to use a calculator. Reading section was ok but I nearly ran out of time, and the science was a mixture of physics, anatomy and biology.i'm pretty sure i got all the physics questions wrong but aside from that i think i did ok not good but ok. Im nervous about my scores which wont post for a few days I think.

What did you guys find as helpful for the science section? Was the book sufficient?
