Congrats! Nursing school is so much hard work but YOU did it! Enjoy the moment.

I was an alternate but was just notified that I'm in for fall. I'm so excited! I feel so very lucky, as this was my first time applying. I'm not usually the lucky person, but this makes up for it!!

I just took it today and scored an 86%. I just bought the online practice tests from ATI and did those. I scored higher on the real test than with the practice tests. The questions were a bit harder on the real test, but the answer choices made it easier to guess right. The math is probably worth studying because you can improve that score, but the rest is so random that studying would be difficult. Good luck and don't worry - you'll do fine!

Congrats Lisa! I think you will really like Sierra's nursing dept. The staff are all very nice and the location at Gateway is great (easy parking!). The labs are set up nicely too. I took a CNA class from them last semester and was very impressed. I think they have the hightest NCLEX pass rate of all the programs in our area. I think it will have been worth the wait for you. Have you taken the TEAS before? I have only done a practice one online and scored well enough, but I"m a little nervous to take the real exam. See you at orientation!

I just got my letter yesterday and am so excited! I'm not necessarily in, but being an alternate is better than just being told to apply next year so I feel pretty lucky. They selected 10 alternates and I'm right in the middle, so we will see if it works out this fall. If not, I will be in the next class (they did away with the spring class, so I'll have to wait a year). This was my first time applying so I feel fortunate. Anyone else selected for Fall 2010 at Sierra?
