    pandorasbox replied to lilykiss6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school you need to take a class in the summer following the 1st year of nursing school. Taking this class qualifies you to seat for the NCLEX PN exam. You'll have to find out with your school...

    pandorasbox replied to Lasandra's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't stress! You have plenty of time to review and taking chemistry now will only help you for the test. Everything will be fresh in your mind so that's a huge plus. Just make sure to review a little...

    pandorasbox replied to pandorasbox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mickey_student, Is the 96% your composite percentile score? (score on the top right). If so, that is a great score! Our school ranks based on that score and the verbal percentile "ALL" score. You...

    Oh Jessicuy, I am so sorry you got the waitlist letter instead. My heart dropped when I read your last post. However, sully100 is right. Retake the NLN and never give up. You want this so bad that I...

    pandorasbox replied to pandorasbox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jessicuy --- so you mean to say that the letters that are in transit will be acceptance and/or waitlist? OCC will waitlist everyone with "decent" scores but who don't have the highest scores 1 through...
