IRSC Spring 2017 Applicants

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey everyone,

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.

my test date is September 13, at 11AM

I am taking mine Tuesday morning (9/6) at 9am.

Im taking mine september 15 at 8

When are you guys taking the test? I registered for September 15, at 3PM

I am taking mine September 16 at 11:30pm.

Is anyone studying anything specific for the physics section other than the red NLN book? I have never taken a physics class so my knowledge is limited to the small amount of physics we learned in Chemistry.

Hi i am new to thread, I am taking mine Sept.12 @3pm. Didnt get chance to really start studying yet.

I'm taking my test on Monday the 12th. I honestly not hopeful cause I only have 21 points for my classes (I tried to re-take the one I got a "C" in but they won't let you unless you fail or go past the 10 years or whatever the timeframe is for science classes to expire) but as long as I do good on the NLN i might have a chance! Good luck everyone!! :)

Good luck to everyone taking their exam this week !!!!

I was wondering the same, but I did read on another thread that cliff notes would be a good source to help with the physics portion.

Good luck to everyone taking the NLN today! Please if you don't mind let the rest of us know how the NLN is like :) again best of luck I know we will all do great !!

The test is done, let the waiting begin! Feedback for the test: The verbal section seemed pretty easy, just familiarize yourself with some of the vocab from the NLN book. This section was broken down into sections: The first 9 blocks were comprehension paragraphs, five questions per block and you had 40 minutes for each block. That was followed by 30 vocabulary questions. Next was the math which also seemed pretty easy. Mostly conversion questions, only a few algebra questions and a few questions on averages. Finally, the science section. I had one chemistry question and one physics questions, everything else was basic biology or A&P. The biggest problem for me on the science portion was that many of the questions on my exam were A&P2 questions (which I am taking this semester) so there were quite a few questions that I had to guess at simply because I haven't covered that material yet. When I finished, the gentleman overseeing the exam told me that scores probably wouldn't be available until tomorrow. Once I have my scores, I will post them here (good or bad!). Good luck to everyone taking the test this week!

So do you feel as tho the nln book prepared you for the science portion? or should we look over our old lecture notes as well?
