NLN Results....

[JDLAStew]

I took my test on 1/27....I read on here some people are getting their results back in 12 days...well that's today. Does anyone who took their test that day have theirs back? How about those of you that took it just before then...are your results back yet?

I was fine this morning until I looked out my window and saw the mailbox. Then it hit me. Now I'm a NERVOUS NERVOUS NERVOUS wreck!!

Alrighty...hmmm. Well I'll be waiting on the mail truck.

Oh my! so sorry GloriveeM, i thought as long as u have a 55% u passed, is this not the case? i took mine last friday and am so scared, i felt i got the harder version of the test, the math or the science did not mimic the study guide at all.

To Lindie, i feel the same way, abou the math section, did not finish and had to guess the last 10, did finish the verbal and science, but will have to wait to see where i stand, thank God for this board where there is so mych love and support because the non-nursing family and friends do not understand the struggle.

Does anyone know the average length wait for the results? pl advise

sincerely

Don't feel bad for failing. You now know what the test is like and will be able to learn what you had trouble with for the second time around. I have heard that a lot of people do fail it. Do something nice for yourself and study a little every day. You can do it sweetie!!

I am going to take today off from studying. I am going to just review my practice tests tonight while watching the Oscars. That will keep it low key and fun which I need right now. 5 days and counting. lol

Glad to know I am not nuts!! Not so sure about that, but you are all sooo sweet!!

Thanks Gigi15 and batman24 I thought I really passed but Now I know what toexpect you actually need a 45 in each section where the DI is ,but My math was the weakest of all and thats where I messed up

Thank you so much for your kind words and I wish you guys All the best on yours :icon_hug:Good Luck

The newton question was how much does a typical child weigh in newtons? SOmething like that.

[Batman24]

Thanks JD. I have no idea how we are supposed to know what a typical child weighs. Yikes.

[GottaGetIn]

If I remember correctly, they gave a specific weight.....which I don't remember what it was exactly, but it was something like how much does a 50lb child weigh in newtons.

something like that.

[Batman24]

I think in that case it would be about 221 Newtons. You need to convert the weight to kilograms and then the kilograms to Newtons. Not sure if this is right or not. I am going to try and look it up. lol

[GottaGetIn]

How do you convert from kilos to newtons?

obviously, i guessed on this one.

[Batman24]

I believe you have to convert 50 pounds to Kilograms. That brings it to 22.6. Then you multiply that by 9.8 which is the acceleration due to gravity if they are asking Kilograms to Newtons.

There are a couple of different formulas depending on what they are asking for. I believe if they want weight on the moon you would multiply the 22.6 X 1.6.

I am not sure if this is right or not. I am trying to look it up and piece it together based on what I am reading. Guessing might be the right option here. lol

[GottaGetIn]

My last question is:

What does this have to do with nursing?

[Batman24]

About as much as the definition of blahbitieblahblahblah!! LMAO!!

I can see the need to know math, bio, etc. but some of this test is just absurd.

I took my NLN PAX-RN on 2/10 and just got my scores today. My composite was 129 and my percentile was 91. I had just spoken to my advsior this morning before the results came and she told me if I got 75th percentile or better I would have a pretty decent shot at getting in for the fall 07 program.

I'm excited now but it kinda stinks in a way. This morning when she told me that I needed 75th or better I thought there was no way I could have gotten over 70th...many girls at my school have been telling me they got in the 60's and are retaking it. I didn't think I did all that good and thought I would have to retake it too. So, when my advisor told me that I figured I'd accept my rejection this time around and should get in for the spring program with no problem. Now I have my hopes up again for the fall and will be bummed if I don't get in. She said I should know by the end of March if I'm accepted or not. I don't do well with suspense, lol.
