IRSC Spring 2016 hopefuls!

Published

Hello everyone. I'm currently enrolled in my last set of pre-reqs for the RN program. In my microbiology classs, I noticed there is high anxiety because the applicant pool looks strong this year and 90% of my class are nursing applicants. I would like to start a support group, for passing along information, questions, advice, or just emotional guidance. We can all be nurses. We can all do it. Let's help each other get there! Does anyone have any tips for the NLN exam? Unfortunately, I have class and cannot attend the free review sessions.

The lpn nln is way easier than the rn nln...there were more biology questions than the RN nln which had a lot of chemistry and phy questions.I studied both books the red and green NLN book..I remember some questions that were on the lpn NLN test that were actually in the NLN RN study guide book...The lowest score i heard from my classmate was 118

Just the science section in both books...I had previous took the RN nln so everything was fresh and my head..so i literally went over both science section of the nln for RN and LPN and just took the test...The RN nln on the other hand is a different story....to me it was hard..

I wouldn't give up just yet. I know a few girls that are in the program. Their scores are in the 150's. Your chances are good with your 158.

Im not feeling too confident either. Fingers crossed until acceptance letters go out! What was your score? I'm hearing a lot of people in the range of 120-130 but I'm also meeting people with 150!

Hey guys.I applied as well For JAN 2016 I did the lpn program at irsc. A few of my classmates applied last march and were guaranteed acceptance.As long as they had they lpn license and minimum score of 100 on nln. They were all accepted and are now starting this Fall 2015 semester.Just a FYI if you have ur lpn license and minimum score your guaranteed.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I did not know that they did this for LPN's. I am a LPN for 5yrs now. I was planning to do the NLN in March because i just wasnt confident because i hadnt studied at all. Because i had classes all Summer and now all Fall. A friend of mine told me to take the exam anyway. I went in blindly and took it without studying today 9/2/15 since it was the last possible day to take it, not expecting anything much. My hopes were at "Zero" until i read your posting. I got only 114 on the NLN but (bear in mind that i didnt study) plus it was my first time taking the NLN not knowing what to expect. I ran out of time on the Verbal and Math section, I did complete the science/physics with 20 mins remaining. If what you say is is correct; about them accepting LPN's with minimum score of 100. That would be awesome. I may have a better outlook now. So My scores were NLN 114+30 points for A&P and MCB and GPA 3.75 so far, not including my last 2 classes i'm now enrolled in. Overall total is 144 then..Not expecting much, If i don"t get in I will study and take it again, no big deal at least i know what to look out for next time. Thank You
