    Ghosty1981 replied to Laureani's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats!

  2. NCLEX shut off at 75 and feel like I failed??

    Ghosty1981 replied to Laureani's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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....

  3. NCLEX shut off at 75 and feel like I failed??

    Ghosty1981 replied to Laureani's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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....

  4. 265 questions is almost guaranteed if your a male.

    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

    Which exam are you talking about?

  6. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    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

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

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

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

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

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

  12. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  13. Anyone got into any WA State Nursing Programs this Fall? (Or on the process of applying)

    Ghosty1981 replied to mlcong19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  14. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  15. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  16. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    I think you should apply. I understand that it can be hard getting a rejection letter, and honestly I would be anxious if I did. In the big picture, though, applying now is only a positive; think of...

  17. Shoreline CC Winter 2018

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    I think there are only two classes, Microbiology and Lifespan Psychology, that can be taken after the application period. You will get some points for being enrolled in them, but you won't get the...

    Ghosty1981 replied to salsera sirena's topic in School, College Programs

    For the Accuplacer you just enter a score. It will print out all the forms once you've completed the application and you can cross those Compass scores and write in "Accuplacer" and then the...

  19. Anyone got into any WA State Nursing Programs this Fall? (Or on the process of applying)

    Ghosty1981 replied to mlcong19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shoreline's point system is x3 and x2.5 your GPA for the prereqs (so CHEM121 would be GPAx3, or 12 points for a 4.0), plus bonus points for certain extra classes, work experience, and volunteer hours....

  20. Anyone got into any WA State Nursing Programs this Fall? (Or on the process of applying)

    Ghosty1981 replied to mlcong19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to bring bad news, but 84 points definitely won't get into Shoreline even with full volunteer hours (6 points). You could retake your classes and up your points, but you would likely be better...

  21. Anyone got into any WA State Nursing Programs this Fall? (Or on the process of applying)

    Ghosty1981 replied to mlcong19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With your Shoreline application did you have volunteer hours? What was you point total for this application if you don't mind me asking. I'm guessing that without volunteer hours you are hovering...

  22. Shoreline Community College Fall 2017

    Ghosty1981 replied to RNMarshall34's topic in School, College Programs

    I've had to get titers and may have to get new immunizations as my records are incomplete. I am too old to have received the Chicken Pox vaccine, but I had Chicker Pox as a kid so I got a titer for...

    I don't know if it's normal, but shed tears too. Can't believe all the hard work paid

    Ghosty1981 replied to RNMarshall34's topic in School, College Programs

    Got in! Minimum points were 104.55. I look forward to meeting all of you at the orientation. Look for the short white guy with a shaved
