Zelda....did you buy the NET study guide? If you did then the math is just like in the book. Mostly it was fractions & decimals and just a couple of algebraic equations. I had my 14 yr old cousin help me since I couldnt remember how to convert fr...

Zelda....good luck on the NET - but if you passed the TEAS then you will do great on the NET - there is no science on the NET - just math & reading and an essay. I feel the exact opposite of you daytime people - I am totally not a morning person ...

Nurse Dee - Congrats on passing the NCLEX!!!! Do you have a job already? I have no pre reqs at all which is why the initial accred. bothered me. Good to know that MPI will be starting an LPN-RN program - hopefully it will have full accreditation by ...

Ab.....I was interested in MPI too.....it was just the price and the fact that it only has initial approval by the Mass Board of Nursing that turned me off......I was told that if you wish to continue to RN - then you would have to start from scratch...
