  1. Best Way to Prepare for the NET

    SparklyGirl replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did anyone else take the online test offered on the Educational Resources website (for $15)? If so, how did you actual score compare to the score you got on the practice

    SparklyGirl replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Order the official study guide: The NET, The HOBIT and THE HELP. And you can also buy an extra sample test online at the Education Resources website. I'm taking the NET tomorrow night, ack.

  3. Another quick question about the NET

    SparklyGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Question regarding class curves

    SparklyGirl replied to peacelovestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My three classes (Physiology, Anatomy (I took them seperately) and Microbiology) were all slightly curved. But we never had such a low mean on a test. I think the lowest mean was on our first micro...

  8. Older Student Getting Frustrated

    SparklyGirl replied to alliestar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, based on everything you said, I think you need to wait. (And I *never* say that). You just have sooo many stresses right now, and I don't think it is wise to spend so much money on tuition...

  9. what seems to work best while studying......

    SparklyGirl replied to hocke5716's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By far, by far the most helpful things are: 1. Getting out of the house to study at a place with no distractions (library or cafe) 2. Writing things over and over and over. Sometimes if I couldn't...

  13. What do you do??

    SparklyGirl replied to BeachPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aren't you jumping to conclusions? Have you heard from any of the schools yet? It doesn't sound like you should consider giving up yet...I'm sending you good wishes

  14. Why don't they make ALL the requirements the same???

    SparklyGirl replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. I don't think they should standardize their evaluation criteria, but it would be nice if they would standardize the

  15. How many sciences should I take at once?

    SparklyGirl replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took three sciences at once (and each one was a 5 credit class - physiology, micro and anatomy) and it was intense. I probably would not recommend it. I have three young children and had to spend a...

  17. Is there a science portion on the NET?

    SparklyGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Is there a science portion on the NET?

    SparklyGirl replied to SparklyGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all so much, that really helped. I'm not worried about the math. I figure I will just study the study guide and maybe review the other study guides I have. My main weak area is vocabulary,...

    SparklyGirl replied to luvlilly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SparklyGirl replied to EastCoastOR's topic in California Nursing

  25. Anyone else think pre-reqs are easy?

    SparklyGirl replied to txnursingqt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
