Hello all!

I know it's early to make this thread but I wanted to see who else is planning to apply to this program.

The first open house is in February. Anybody else going?

You do not need to memorize conversions. Just know how to add/subtract decimals, multiply/add/subtract fractions, convert decimals to percents, word problems, know how to set up proportions, know ratios... honestly it was real basic and straightforward.

There were a few dosage related questions that were time related. Don't remember exact but you're pretty much setting up proportions

Well ok not too bad I guess. What about science?

I bombed writing. I think I underestimated it too much and didn't really study it. Surprisingly on science which I was most scared about I did really good on. I just hope this score is good enough to get me in.

Congrats as well. Good job!

Definitely use quizlet. I searched up each system and printed them out to study. I'm also going to copy and paste what @Brooklyn_nursing26 said on the Spring 2019 thread because it was on point and I literally used that as guidance

Quote

* Make sure you study a lot of the respiratory system (gas exchange, how air enters body, etc), cardiovascular system (blood flow through vessels, heart, etc), Nervous system (autonomic, parasympathetic, etc), and Endocrine system, feedback loops. Most (if not all) questions came from these four systems. Also, there were some questions about the digestive system.

The test was very fair and not bad at all. You're going to be good ? Pay attention to the time for each section and don't spend too much time on one question. You can always go back to a question within a section if you have time left
