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

    Sully100 - We share the same sentiments!!! I've only taken the NLN once. I know people that have taken it multiple times. Case in point, a person in one of my current classes took it last year (2009)....

    pandorasbox replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

    You're right, the NLN does ask that question.....but does OCC go by that? I would think they'd keep record of that information from the application to the school, not use the NLN exam to gather that...

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

    I am very sure that she said "100 something"...... I repeated it and she repeated it. I got as excited as you, but it seems so out of the realm for Oakton to have so few applicants.......I hope it's...

  12. Why the HURRY to Get into Nursing?

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

    pandorasbox replied to Michelle132's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmm.....that doesn't sound right at all. Maybe keep trying until you get someone that is willing to help you. Are you able to retake the exam in less than 6 months, or do you have to wait a whole...

    pandorasbox replied to Michelle132's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That really depends on your school. For example, my school first looks at the Composite Percentile Score in the ALL section and then the Percentile score of the verbal in the ALL section. They do...

    pandorasbox replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

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