CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am very happy for you. I won't give up because this is something I want to do. I have reached out to tutors and will start in Jan. since the next time I can take it is not until March. Hopefully, I start Fall 2010.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. At our school you have to be in upper 80-90 percentile. They start at 99% and count down from there. So, if nobody got 99% they count down to the next percent and that is how they choose. There are only 60 seats ava...

Are there any tutors you can get to help with the NLN other than using the study guide? I reached out to my local college but they don't have any to help with this. They have more specific subjects. Thanks for any feedback.

Thanks for the vote of confidence and the information. I am not a good test taker when it comes to trying to absorb everything I have learned in all of my classes and apply it to a timed test like this. I just need to stop beating myself up over not ...

There are no nursing questions at all on the NLN exam. It's strictly basic academic questions as it relates to math, science and reading. The science portion covers biology, chem, some anatomy and physiology, and the rest physics.
