  1. I am proud to say that I passed my NLN with a composite score of 130 (=87 percentile). The third time is a charm! It was a long and frustrating road. The testing anxiety, tears, and doubt were very defeating, but the third time was filled with laught...
  2. How to Be Successful in Microbiology Class

    Microbiology is a very interesting subject. You get to learn about eukaryotes, diseases, and numerous cycles. Overall, it’s not as stressful as anatomy and physiology and is an experience within itself. I have enjoyed this class and will give you tip...
  3. Is Anatomy and Physiology 2 harder or easier than A&P 1?

    AP1 at first was a struggle but AP2 wasn't really so difficult, the only trouble I had was with the cardiovascular system but it was far more interesting than AP1 to me.
  4. Pre nursing student questions?

    I would say just make A's/B's in your prereqs , especially the sciences and the math. I didn't really have much support besides my mother and it took me 3 tries at the NLN. Also, before entering nursing school try to practice vital signs and med admi...
  5. Taking anatomy and physiology and Microbiology was somewhat of a cardinal sin in my community college. Regardless of the warnings from professors and counselors, I enrolled in AP1 (which I retook) and Microbiology (entirely new to me at the time) dur...
  6. I Passed the NLN Pax exam!

  8. ATI critical thinking entrance exam

    Do you have the ATI Books , like the review ones. It is usually in the fundamentals book.
  9. ATI critical thinking entrance exam

    In my program it was one of the first test that we took. They told us not to study for it but I did with Quizlets. In the ATI booklets they have a chapter dedicated to critical thinking.
  10. Trying to Study Ahead

    It can be a lot to study from tbh. One thing I recommend is possibly learning the skills (taking vitals , catheter care , bed baths ,etc.) I know some schools have a healthcare course or a CNA program that offered this.
  11. Failed the Pax-NLN Math portion TWICE!

    I purchased the pre-tests from the NLN and practiced those religiously and if I chose the right answer and didn't know how I got it right I went to chegg to where someone broke it down. Also buy the red-book , get the CD and also practice those quest...
  12. My living situation while in Nursing school

    It's common and at least you help your parents out as much as you can. Some people in my cohort live with roommates or their parents and they are okay with it. Heck , I live with my parents and I'm in the same situation (school , saving up). The good...
  13. I'm very sorry that you are going through that 😞 , sadly sometimes the people closet to you can be your worst enemies , you mother seems to be a narc and jealous of you . I have went through something like this with some of my family. The best thing ...
  14. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    Cheating, especially in pre-reqs as a future healthcare worker, is like committing an abomination sin. Before you even start your program, you have shown what your work ethic is, and in other words, you can kiss your future career goodbye. Cheating h...
  15. TEAS TEST!

    NP ❤️ I wish you well on your nursing journey
  16. TEAS TEST!

    I guess what they mean is like maybe you'll be reading a lot. I've taken the TEAS and scored well but they put more emphasis in the science and then math. Reading it again I believe they are talking about being able to read things effectively and eff...
  17. TEAS TEST!

    To be honest I've never heard of this before but I can understand where they are coming from. My current school implements more on the math/science side of things.
  18. ASN and BSN pre req

    my friend told me intrapersonal communication is an easy course along with medical terminology.
  19. Can I get into a nursing program with W's?

    hello, I'm in pre-nursing and awaiting a program, and that's a great science GPA! as for whether a school takes you, I think you may need to talk to your advisor/admissions office. in school's where I'm at they usually count the highest grade fo...
  20. Can I make it in?

    it does help but also the ATI's website has a good study guide as well to help prepare ?
  21. Can I make it in?

    also too the mometrix book with the official ATI TEAS testing material helps a ton! there is also an article too that shows how someone got a 97.3 ? it's amazing and filled with good information
  22. Fustrated With My College Nursing Program

    I'm sorry that you're going through this. I just finished up my pre-nursing courses and I'm giving the application a second go. as far the advising situations, I am on the same boat, I not because they aren't in office though. the thing is when you ...
  23. Can I make it in?

    everything will work out fine ❤️
  24. Can I make it in?

    hello ? I say that you have a chance, I'm in pre-nursing as well but if I were you I'd def check your school's program requirements. for the most part though to increase your chances could you take honor-based courses, join an honor society or possib...
  25. Will I Have a Chance?

    I just got done with my pre-nursing reqs but it depends on the pre-reqs that your school has ... such as the courses and also most importantly the test grades on your entrance exam. at one of the schools that I am looking to attend there have been st...
