Congrats bp2244:yeah::yeah:! I'm so happy for you. Like Triple A said, all nursing schools are really competitive now, so it's really great that you were called. Thanks Nurserica for posting that info.... Triple A, my name also starts with C, I'm g...

Hi everyone, I hope all the mommies had a great Mother's Day! Well, we should be knowing something soon.... good luck everyone. To Nynatv, I'm so sorry to hear you didn't get in. But as others have posted don't give up. Keep taking the required clas...

wow, what happened to the thread? Hi everyone.... bp2244, luv your positive attitude. No new updates. I tried to get in touch with *** *****, but I just got her voicemail. Has anyone tried to reach her today? Looking at old threads from last year...

Hi Anabella, I second honeycutts and bp2244 in welcoming you to this thread. The waiting is nerve-wracking. You and I have the same nln scores-128, 89%ad, but mine say 90% all. I took my test on april 8th, but just finished handing them all my pape...

Hi mystiqx, congrats on almost finishing your journey at BI. I applied to pbison for this fall and am waiting to see if they call me. I've been keeping busy reading old threads about people who applied before and ran into your postings. There were...

Nursefor2011, being 17 with a 3.6 and 99 percentile is impressive. Maybe you just got the wrong impression on how the interview went. The fact that they called you for an interview means that they were impressed. So, just don't worry about it, I'm...

Hi Jennyy329, I'm glad to hear your interview went well. Did you get to find out what your NLN score was? Hi eilama27, I called *** ***** later this afternoon, sometime after 3PM. I tried her a couple of times before I was able to get in touch wi...

Thanks bp2244, it was such a relief when I called today and *** ***** said they had everything, she knew right away. Oh, and I asked her if I should just wait for them to contact me and she said I should call back on Thursday. kittty - I applied to ...

Hi Nurse2011, why do you feel your interview didn't go well? What happened, did they say something to you to make you feel that way or was it just an overall feeling that you had?

Hi all, I also just spoke to *** *****, they have all my documents and it's already with the committee. So good luck to all of us still waiting to know......

Thank you Cathylady.:)

Thanks bp2244, I'll keep that in mind. I'm hoping it won't come to that. *** ***** said she had almost a thousand applications to sort through, so perhaps it's somewhere among them. There were two ladies that I handed it to, I know one of them is th...

Hey bp2244, *** ***** told me not to worry about my low science score, it's the overall score that matters. So that made me feel somewhat better.

Thanks Nynatv25, if you don't mind can you tell us your NLN scores?

Hi Nynatv25, I actually took my exam on April 8, and both BI and I received my scores. As honeycutts said you should call them up to make sure, but they almost certainly have them. Fortunately for us who took the exams late ( and for me who handed ...

I have good news and bad news. First the bad news: I called *** ***** today (she really is a sweetheart and very helpful) and she told that she didn't have all my remainding documents that I personally handed in last week (she wasn't there and I han...

Thanks bp244, for posting the breakdown of your scores. Our scores are almost identical, I really hope that below 55% on the science doesn't hurt us, I've looked on their brochure they gave us on orientation and it say 55% minimum overall composite ...

Okay so honeycutts said that when she called BI they told her that there were 950 applicants. So I did the math and those of us who scored in the 89 & 90% for all on the nln would place from 95 to 105 of the 120 applicants. Of course they take ...

BTW honeycutts, you did great on the science.. it sucks that you didn't finish, but at least it's way over the 55%, which is a concern of mine.

Thanks honeycutts, for posting your grades, and more importantly for making me aware that I need to take a & P I & II in the same place. I didn't know that. I know that BI accepts CLEP biology, has anybody taken the CLEP in that. I'm also ...

Oh, wait, so if they're meeting May 11 to decide who is accepted or not they should be interviewing all potential candidates before that, right?

Thanks Nurserica for the vote of confidence and congrats on the interview, or interviews. Did they tell you how many students have already been accepted? Did you apply for the 2 year or 3 year program? man, I am spending way too much time on these t...

Oh, and another worry of mine is on the NLN, I did really bad on the science - 40%, but in the math I got 97% and verbal 89%, so i guess they helped to bring up my percentile as a whole. I know you need a 55% minimum, but I just want to make sure th...

Congratulations bp2244, we have almost the same score. I have a 128 composite and 90%. I currently have a 4.0 gpa. I say currently because when I first went to college I unofficially withdrew and you know what happens when you do that. Another con...

Thanks for the advice Shana J, I will be dropping them off tomorrow. Wish me luck!
