NLN Results....

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

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.

You said that you took the NLN 4 times, I will probably need to take the test again. Is there a waiting period between the test, or is that something you can take the next time the test is offered?

Wow! Thanks for the great responses to my question about the NLN test. I have been so bus with two children that I haven't had time to log on lately. I am sooo nervous about the test and feel totally unprepared. A part of me wishes I wasn't taking it yet :(

Good for you taking it 4 times and never giving up, then scoring a 92!

I would have given up after the second time.

Anyone at Harper College? I'm gonna transfer there from MCC.

Yes, you read correctly...4 times. Don't let the amount of times you need to take it get in your way - you will get there eventually! Determination!

Well, I according to NLN, you can only take it twice a year...once every 6 months...check with your school though. At my school, you don't have to wait a full 6 months before taking it again - they have windows. We can take it once anywhere between January and June and again between July and December. So, it still works out to two times/year. But see how your school does it.

Also, check with your Nursing department and see how past semesters have ranked as far as percentages go...or basically find out how they determine who will be accepted. But if they mainly go off of the NLN scores like my school, find out what the lowest percentages were that were accepted to give you an idea.

I'm am happy I took it again...the previous semesters, Spring '07, the lowest was 87% and Fall '07 was 83%. I had an 85% and wasn't sure if I should do it again, but decided to...what did I have to lose. I ended up with a 92% and the lowest score (1st round anyway) accepted from what I was told was 92%...whew!!!

Yes, find out the next time you can take it...make sure it is to your school's specifications because if you take it again, it may not be accepted because you didn't take it within the correct window. Best of luck!!!

AND, keep in mind these scores last 3 years (well, your best score, from the time you take it). So even if your not ready right now to enter the program just yet, you can at least take it until you get the score you are happy with and sit on it til your ready!

Don't give up if it's what you really want to do. You will get there...if I can, anyone can!

I am not at Harper, but isn't MCC getting their own program soon? I know CLC takes a lot of students from MCC because they didn't have their own, but I thought I heard that they were getting their own Nursing Program soon...no? The only reason I am thinking that is because I thought I read something from CLC saying this was the last semester they were accepting MCC students, or that POSSIBLY this will be the last semester...can't remember exactly.

To reply to nln - i just took the test this weekend. use the cream colored book from the school bookstore. just found this website, today while surfing for info on results, wish i found it b4.

know about perimeters for rectangeles triangles. newton conversion from ave weight of human - i think it is about 9.3 conversion factor, watch time on math, i ran out.

study the words in the book for the verbal, some are on the test. things i didn;t know and didn't find in study guide are calculating ohms, and other electrical problems, some earth science,

u need to know about waves, wavelengtjhs, quantum mechanics question also, cant remember exact ? lotsof math division and decimal points and cross multiplication.

Know verbal def of incredulous, and others in book, read the front section of study guide - it will help.

know how to calculate area of rectangle to calculate area of squarres within it. , know about the triagle and angles on that or rectangles, know chalrs law boyles law, mendel , ab blood type donate to who, know carbs are starch and sugar, etc., know def of isotope and q regarding that . structural isomer know what it is and i think fresh off the press this should help u a lot.

Good luck it was hard test, but i only studied 2 days prior. u should try to study more.

You should be able to add that in your profile...it is under My Account on the yellow toolbar above.

I have taken mine on a Tuesday and got it back the following Saturday...usually within that first week I have my results.

I hope you did well...I always seemed to do better than I thought I did.

I am applying to several different Nursing Schools in my area. One school requires that we take Psychological Services Bureau Aptitude for practical Nursing Examinations (PSB) anyone have any idea what this test is about? Has anyone taken this test and could give me more information?

Hi all,

I am just thinking of taing a test, borrowed preparation guide from the library and now studiyng. Preparation guide says that information tested i mostly high schoo level. I went to high school in a different country, so it doesnt help me much. Did you find NLN VERY hard? Do you suggest to take pre-reqs (AP, Chemistry, Microbiology BEFORE I make an attempt to take a test? Or can I just study on my own and take it?

Oh my god my brain hurts. That was the most intense nerve racking test. I ran out of time on the verbal I had 20 question left. And i just bubbled in down the line. And with the math part also.. The science part was not bad or maybe because I just finished all my A&P classes.

Im not feeling good about this at all.
