I am a second year nursing student at Kent State in New Philly, OH - I believe all the branches offer the ADN program and then you can go on for your BSN...but you might want to double check that if Kent is one of your options to look into. It is an amazing program - it's kind of known as the more difficult nursing school in our area but I feel like it's completely worth it -you learn so much and I feel pretty confident during my clinicals thanks to all the information we get. We also have a new "nursing" building that is very up to date - a lot of the newest equipment and all that - just something for you guys to think about - if you need/want any other info on it - just let me know!! Best of luck to all of you!

When I took the Compass, a calculator was available as a link on your actual exam (taken on the computer obviously). Prior to the exam, I went to the bookstore and they have a bunch of preperation type books for math exams -they don't specifically state they are for a compass exam but pretty much all the same - I studied out of those and ended up testing out of all my math courses through the compass exam! Most bigger chain bookstores have a lot to choose from (and also have a little place to drink coffee and eat goodies!!) so I would just take a notebook, calculator and pen with me and study for an hour or two a couple times a week - stinks having to study BEFORE you get into your classes but when you have the oportunity to test out of those classes - makes it worthwhile!! Good luck!
