1. NLN Results....

   Lizard3 replied to JDLAStew's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got my scores and did better than I thought. Since there were 80 questions in verbal and science, but only 60 counted I did better than I thought.( BTW, as a teacher, adding 20 extra questions to a high stakes test does not seem to be a very good i...

3. Nln Prep Book

   Lizard3 replied to Aisel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took the NLN last Monday and although I felt the McDonald NLN prep book prepared me well for the verbal and math--the science questions were much tougher than the ones in the book and I am afraid I did not do well. What is worse is that I left puzz...

4. Nln Prep Book

   Lizard3 replied to Aisel's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks! I have thoroughly studied the NLN prep book, but then I looked at Learning Express' Pre-entrance prep and was shocked at the different types of questions on it. I hope the actual exam is like the NLN book. Lizard3

5. NLN Exam HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!

   Lizard3 replied to Encephala's topic in Student Assist

   I have been studying the NLN book, but today I got on a Express Learn site for Nursing School Entrance prep--and the level of difficulty on the chem questions alone was ten times higher than in the NLN book and now I am spooked. Does anyone out there...

6. Career Change Advice Needed

   Lizard3 replied to 2bLilMrsNurse76's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi, Thanks for the encouraging note. I read yours after reading all the burn out threads. :) I am 52 as well but am just now taking pre-reqs, but I love taking a & p even though I find it very challenging. I am not sure if I will pursue nursing ...

7. Online Science Courses

   Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   Hi, I have only taken one online science course from Weber. There are 100 students in the class and it is not really interactive-if that is what you are looking for. We simply do 8 units with homework and a test for each. I did not take the lab--my...

8. Online Science Courses

   Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

   Hi, Finding schools that offer the nursing pre-reqs is easy--making sure your nursing school of choice will accept them is another matter. I have found some to accept the chem with online lab but not the bio. Others are leery of any on-line labs at a...

9. How Much Mircro Do I Need to Remember?

   Lizard3 posted a topic in Student Assist

   Hi Y'all, I am taking mircro now online from Weber State and we use the Tortora Micro book (6th edtion). The book goes into much more detail than the tests, and it got me to wondering about how much micro a nurse needs on the job. I am a new pre-n...

10. Online Science Courses

    Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks! Apparently things are a bit tougher in GA--I am running into trouble getting a school to accept the A & P, although I did get the chem dept chair to sign off on the chem. Right now I am waiting for a decision after writing to the online ...

11. Online Science Courses

    Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

    Hi, Your post motivated me to search my state's(GA) board website and they do stipulate that all science classes must have a lab (something one school did not tell me) but not what kind of lab. I think it would be advisable for us all to find out o...

12. Online Science Courses

    Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

    Thanks for all the help. I wanted to take my science through IOCC with Dr. Klepper, but one program I am applying to will only accept chem courses for science majors --so I could not take the IOCC courses-although I wanted to. I am now looking into E...

13. Online Science Courses

    Lizard3 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Learning

    Hi Y'all, I am currently taking an online micro course at Weber which is fine, but although I received approval for it from one school, a different one would not accept it due to it not having a lab. So now I am trying to find a micro lab only--don'...
