Thanks! Where did you say you live?!

NurseLadyy, The BOCES program beginning in January is Dutchess Boces. The BOCES program beginning in March is Western Suffolk Boces. The program beginning every 3 months is Eastwick College (which also has a LPN to RN bridge program). I'm going to do...

No, you dont necessarily HAVE to get your license in NJ after you finish the program... I know a lot of students that go there and they commute from Brooklyn. I work in a hospital and from what I'm told from the nurses that I work with, it is SO easy...

Yes, they first gave the total score & they gave me a total of 78 percentile and then underneath it, they told you the percentile for each section. They provided me with a explanation of the scores and they said my total percentile (78) means tha...

Aw thank you Ladies. Now I feel that there is still hope... I was so upset when I received my scores. And I studied for two straight weeks of JUST math. I will definitely be keeping my fingers & toes crossed for all of us, as well. Dianedc123, e...

Overall I made it into the 78th percentile. Reading ability was 54th percentile, math was 47th percentile and language ability was 89th percentile. I missed it by 3 POINTS. Perhaps I still have a chance.. so I guess I should just think positive. Do y...

I received my scores in the mail today and did not yet receive a call. So I guess that means I won't be getting interviewed?

Did they really say that the ones who did well will get a call before receiving their scores? I remember them saying that if they happen to receive scores BEFORE we do and we did well, they will call us for an interview. I'm pretty sure that everyo...

Just a quick question... do you remember if they said that they look at the overall percentile or the percentile for each section?

I know.. it's almost impossible to finish all math questions in 1 hour. You weren't the only one who didn't finish in time... I know a lot of people who ran out of time before they were able to finish. Dont worry! Remember all you have do is score b...

Thanks for the info! I will check it out if I get accepted. Still waiting for the results!

No, you dont have to study the conversions... they give you the formula. For example it will give tell you C=(90F-32) 5/9. So you would subtract 90 & 32, multiply by 5 & divide by 9. For med problems, they give you the formula so you don...

NurseLadyy, Just wanted to wish you luck on your exam tomorrow! Keep me posted on how you do.

Hi, I took my exam last Thursday and I am still waiting for my results. Are you talking about the C-Net sample math test that they provide on the website? If so, the math is very similar to that. For conversions like celsius to farenheit (& vice ...

There are like 3 or 4 passages that you have to read followed by like 5 questions each passage. The most you would have to read is a couple paragraphs per passage. Some have two paragraphs while others have four or five. I would suggest reading the q...

I work in a hospital on an ICU stepdown telemetry unit as a nursing technician. I've been working there for 3 years and I like it a lot. I check patients' vitals every 4 hours, check blood glucose levels, turn & position patients every 2 hours, e...

I'll also be doing the FT day program and also commuting. I'll definitely keep you posted on every little piece of information that I find out... you do the same! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you on your test day :)

I was SO nervous, too.. Trust me! I had no other choice but to go into the test feeling confident telling myself that I'll pass! The night before, I stayed up until it was time to leave to take the test; I was studying the entire night. One only issu...

The exam wasn't difficult at all. Just make sure to study your vocab (antonyms, synonyms) and math (fractions, percentages, ratios). I got the study guide from C-net and it was the exact format of the test so it really helped. I walked out of the te...

Even though I did not apply for the Dutchess Boces program, I just wanted to stop by & wish you the best of luck on your acceptance. I applied to the Southern Westchester Boces located in Elmsford. Just took the test today... and now I have to w...

I took the test for SW boces... I feel pretty confident about how I did.. It wasn't too difficult. Now I just have to wait two weeks to find out my results. If I score above the 50th percentile (compared to a national norms group), I will get an inte...

I am aware that PNW boces uses the TEAS test which includes the science portion while SW boces uses a test called the C-Net, which does not include any science. I just was curious to know what scores are needed on the c-net in order to get accepted t...

Jbabyjr, Thank you so much for your reply! I actually have a fax machine at work and I'll be at work tomorrow from 7AM until 11PM. (I work at a hospital and I am working a double shift). Will you be able to fax it to me tomorrow? I don't know if it...

Hi everyone, I know this thread is a little old, but for any SW Boces grads who are still hanging around these threads, I have a couple of questions for you! I am scheduled to take my entrance exam next Thursday and I am looking for any advice that y...
