  1. Final Exams done, next stop summer classes then NS!!

    SierraMoon replied to mom35's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm done, too. I think I'm escaping A&P II with a B and Dev Psych with a A. Micro starts June 1, wraps up in late July, then nursing school proper starts August 17. Can't wait to start posting...

  2. Does this make sense (paramedic while taking RN pre-reqs)?

    SierraMoon replied to MattiesMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd stick out the LPN program. It'll be so much faster than taking prereqs part-time and then still having a two year RN program to do. Some programs have more pre-reqs than others. I had four, but...

  3. NLN TEST this saturday! help =(

    SierraMoon replied to SANART11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Is a 3.5 GPA good enough to get into most nursing schools?

    SierraMoon replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's good enough to get into A nursing program. Whether it's the one you want, we can't tell. There are a lot of factors. The lowest GPA accepted at my ADN program for this fall was 3.46 with a 70%...

  5. I just want to lay down and die

    SierraMoon replied to wishes215's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any chance 85 is the composite percentile? Otherwise, not too good. Sorry. Can you take it again before your app is

  6. New to the Game

    SierraMoon replied to audit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An admissions counselor at your school(s) of choice would be the best place to go. She or He would have all the info about prerequisites and entrance exams. There's no national standard so it's hard...

  7. should i become a cna before taking prereq's?

    SierraMoon replied to ilovemychihuahua's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a CNA, because it's required. I'm really glad I decided to work as one, too. I'm so much more comfortable interacting with patients than I was when I started a year ago. It's settled my nerves....

  8. Need advice, please help! Regarding CSULB nursing program...

    SierraMoon replied to proteuspsych's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you really want to work at Disney, then go do it. If you don't get into your program, you can always try again. What would regret more, not working for Disney at this time or not getting into the...

    SierraMoon replied to greatpyr_mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Who wants to play the waiting game with me?

    SierraMoon replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are we insane yet? I can't sleep, I can't study. I have no idea when the letter will come, everybody has a different

  15. Looking for some advice...

    SierraMoon replied to torchbearer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Communications with A&P I and am taking Dev Psych with A&P II. I work 24 hours a week plus have a couple of horses showing this year. I don't find it too difficult. I never take more...

  16. Dilemma -- any advice?

    SierraMoon replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    A C- in lecture might average to a C overall, if she did well enough in lab. I believe I would keep out of

    SierraMoon replied to 2bRN4BABES21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A "W" doesn't usually count against you, only a failing grade

    SierraMoon replied to JDLAStew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bringing this up for new people to see. I wish the title said something about the good test advice in this thread. Topic: I hit 99% with a 150. 99% in vocab and science, 87% in

  21. Taking the NLN PAX RN on Friday...

    SierraMoon replied to mich9385's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! Most of the science questions aren't that bad. You'll probably think you failed but really, you'll have done fine. There are more questions on the exam than there are on the practice...

  22. The NLN is impossible, right?

    SierraMoon replied to nursefor2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, the actual test is even worse. There's 80 vocab/reading and 80 Science, plus 50 math. I think you get an hour per section. Anyway, despite that, it's not impossible. Many people earn excellent...

  23. Help! How do you go to nursing school during the day when I need to work ?

    SierraMoon replied to medfieldgal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need a different school or a different job. Some schools offer evening programs. I work nights in an assisted living facility. I get lots of study time on the

  24. Anyone taken the NLN recently?

    SierraMoon replied to GCTMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my results: 150 composite, 99th percentile. Pretty funny, considering the panic I was in afterward. I used the recommended guide, Pre-Algebra for Dummies, the GED science review and the...

  25. Anyone taken the NLN recently?

    SierraMoon replied to GCTMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd try some speed drills for math and SAT vocab flash cards. Don't take the science too lightly. I'm pretty good with bio but there were questions about how many ohms of resistance a particular...
