I got a call yesterday from the nursing school letting me know that my wait on the "alternate status" list was over- I'm in for Fall '06. If I had received this news months ago there would have been no question- I would be going to nursing school thi...

You are thinking of someone else, the post you just described is not me. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter though.

Aimee, I sat for the NLN exam back in January and I, like yourself, have been out of school for quite a while. The Macdonald book was an ok tool to help you prepare, but beware--there are quite a few physics (ohms questions) that are NOT in the study...

I have also been chosen as an alternate for the fall '06 class. However, my school will not release my exact standing in the line up of alternates (and there are 212 people on the alternate list!). I did find out that I am in the top 25%, and with "a...

Saw Bodyworlds in Chicago over a year ago and it was nothing short of amazing! I would encourage everyone (interested in the medical field or not) to go see this wonderful, respectful, presentation of the human body!

Thank you for the encouragement, but I would not really consider this a "success" until I am officially offered a seat. Does your friend know where she is on the wait list (top 25%, top 50%, bottom 50%, etc...)? I spoke with Harper College again toda...

Just wanted to let you "to be Harper nursing students" know that I have been have chosen as an "alternate candidate" for the for fall '06 class. I called Harper yesterday to find out where I was on the list and they told me that out of 212 on the wai...

Well, I got the long awaited "letter" in the mail today and I have been chosen as an "alternate candidate" for the Fall '06 nursing program. Oh well! I guess the waiting isn't over. Has anyone ever been in this situation or known of someone who was a...

way to go!!!

thanks for your input everyone! i did call the school this afternoon to find out where i was on the wait list, and they told me i was in the top 50 (out of 212 alternates). however, they would not disclose exactly where i was in the line up- is that ...

i have applied for fall '06 as well. my school's deadline was feb. 2, and "letters" will be mailed out by the end of march. i know the end of march will be here before i know it- but the waiting!!!!! (28 days to go) maybe i will get an early letter??...

wow! really? i wonder if all schools would relay that inforamtion over the telephone???

i am slightly anxious about getting "the letter", but i refuse to invest a lot of energy into it. the way i see it- if i am meant to go to nursing school, i will. and if not, then i'll take it as a sign that the timing is not right. i really believe ...

what are the chances of "letters" being sent early? i have read a couple of posts where people got their news a little early (and they got in!). hummmmm..... chicago countdown...30 days

I am waiting to hear if I get into the Fall'06 class. I will post again as soon as I know something. Best of luck to those of you who are taking pre-reqs.

i believe the nln is a national exam and does not vary from state to state. at any rate-good luck to you! jp :)

i took the nln exam last night and found the exam to be fairly challenging. in preparation for the exam, you should study up on pre-algebra level math and especially, practice, practice, practice solving word problems with speed and accuracy! and for...
