   You will need a certain amount of points to pass NP1. The HESI accounts for a big chunk of them. Not sure what the Tabe or Teas is but the HESI is set up similar to the NCLEX from what I hear. It was tough. There isn't necessarily a passing score...

    Does anyone know when the acceptance letters are going to go out for entry into the Jan 2009 semester? The cut-off date was June 1st to turn in the applications but I have still heard nothing. Just hoping they didn't lose my application.
