I haven't seen a forum for nursing applicants for the Fall of 2021! Just out of pure curiosity where others are standing with points and anxious about applying!

Hi! I am a licensed LPN, I applied to the traditional program and am also applying to the bridge program as I haven't decided which would be the best route for me to take. For the HESI LPN mobility exam, I used a LPN NCLEX study book to prepare. I felt it was adequate and worked for what I needed it to.
Have you been out of school long? I got my LPN in 2013, so it had been awhile for me. The best piece of advice I can give is to not overthink the questions, revert back to your training and trust your instincts. I'm unsure what the testing is like when you get your paramedic licensure, but I'm sure studying the same tools you used for that would be sufficient. I did pretty broad reviews and then practice tests prior to taking it.
Graduated in 2014 so were in the same boat!! I got a pre nursing book to study and its helping! This will be my second time taking it. I got an 815 the first go around so hoping for max points this time!

Thanks, Dani! Wish time could speed up! LOL ?????????
Just called. Letters went out yesterday or today, word on the street is point cut off was 86.
Oh woooow! I had 86 points too ?
I had 86 points, too. Does that mean you made the cut off or that if you had 86 you didn’t? LOL

I think if you have 86, you should be good. I don’t want to say definitely, but to me, if the cut off is 86 than anyone below that wouldn’t be accepted. Fingers crossed for you, let us know when you find out!! She said she put the letters in the mail yesterday so they probably went to the post office today.
OMG! This is excruciating! ?? Now I’m REALLY going to be stalking my mailman!
