Congrats!

I'd say that fits the bill for a solid pass even without knowing you got the good result with the PVT. I was in a similar boat and I felt unsure even though I rationally kbew I must have passed. Nothing will settle it for you until you see an active license, but I will be shocked if you failed in 75 questions with that track record. ?

Couple of questions: 1. Were you a reasonably good test taker in nursing school? 2. Did you take any prep/assessment tests such as Uworld prior to taking you NCLEX? If yes, how were your scores? If 1. is yes and 2. Is yes and you did well on them, then you passed the NCLEX and you should relax. ? Forget about things like missing the last question. If you were on the line of pass/fail then the NCLEX would keep going after 75 questions; that's what it's designed to do!

Just chiming in that I'm definitely a male and I definitely passed in 75 questions yesterday. I've absolutely no idea how my sex could factor into the equation.

Which exam are you talking about? ACCUPLACER?

Were any of you at the school today to talk to Lynn at around 1030am? I met with her briefly today at around that time and may have seen you there. If so, how did it go?

Congrats!

We had Pleiman together in the Fall. I was the short-haired/shaved white guy who always wore black or Seahawks clothes.

Sorry for those that didn't make it this quarter. That is a really high point cut-off! T_Petes: Who was your A&P instructor? I had Pleiman, if Im remember the name right. I took almost all of my pre-reqs there. Micro and AP1 last Fall, Chem and Stats the Spring before that (2016).

Oh wow, you're my neighbor. Did you take your pre--reqs at Shoreline? Maybe we were classmates.

We are just finishing up "hell week" in 1st quarter. I'm rooting for you guys! It is a really fun program so far!

If yoy wrote a clear and convincing reason for why the classes should be accepted then they will count. They are more interested in you having a broad base of experience and in your ability to tie it in to Nursing. For example I'm sure that taking a class about traditional African music styles would count if you could briefly explain how such a class enriches and expands your cultural understanding and appreciation of human diversity. No kidding, that sort of thing WILL come up in your classes. The instructions are intentionally vague in order to encourage you to think very broadly and then apply your knowledge narrowly to the nursing field. You'll be doing that a lot in the program. :) Good luck to everyone. We look forward to seeing all of you at SCC! It really is a wonderful program.

You can use any class that prepares you for nursing. Sociology, a psych class other than prereqs, communications. You can be creative, but you have to write a brief explanation of how it prepared you for nursing. If I remember correctly I used group communications and child development courses and I got the points.

One thing to keep in mind is that SCC Nursing is going through its regular accreditation right now, so all the staff is extra busy. Be understanding and let the process happen. It will be a while before you hear back, but you WILL hear from them either way. :) Good luck!

No idea on the number of applicants per quarter. Just remember that this application is your "freebie", getting your paperwork in early for Spring, and you'll be fine. If you get in for Winter that will be wonderful, but 105.9 points in Spring should be more than enough to qualify. Heck, the added months of NAC work will just make the course that much easier for you if you do have to wait. I'd say you're golden either way, so don't even think of feeling down if you don't make it in for Winter!
