cmedar20 Thanks. I just found that one. Below is a link to another one that I found on here. Good luck with your studies. I have just under 2 weeks before I take mine. https://allnurses.com/hesi-exit-exam/nclex-hesi-study-507271.html

Thanks to both of you for the info. Congrats also

50 page review? Is this something you made?

Sounds like you're doing really good. Im currently enrolled in the NCSBN 3 week course but I find it to be information overload. I take my NCLEX in 2 weeks, soI'm ffocusing mainly on my Hurst Review materials, Kaplan QBank and trainers, Saunders and HESI book. We were told that if we score above 60% on the Trainers, we were ready for NCLEX. At the moment, I'm just reviewing my weak areas, drugs, random diagnostic tests and questions.

I'm in Huntsville. I got my email a few days ago. They want me to take my NCLEX in the next 45 days with 15 JUL being my possible start date also

Yes she is and I graduate 4 May. You?

I will be turning 35 when I commission later this year...just depends on my BOLC date.

mrsksway Don't forget to contact Austin Peay University and Old Dominion. I know they are willing to send you a conditional acceptance letter if you meet their requirements. Alcorn State University sent me an acceptance letter pretty early, so I was able to send that in just before my board, so make sure you send whatever you get from a school in ASAP to strengthen your packet.

shmegan20, I can try to assist you as best I can, but I know some of the requirements have changed since I was accepted. I think It might be too late to submit your 2013 packet. I think the deadline was 1 March 2012.

mrsksway, I think my Army GPA was a 2.8 or a 2.9, can't remember, but for the schools that I applied to it averaged between a 3.0-3.4. Having acceptance letters before the board is what helped me get selected I think. As far as residency, most universities allow military members to claim residency if they are stationed near there. The local ROTC might be able to help, but I would say work with the admissions/bursars office.

I'm a 2nd semester student at UAH, and what the previous poster said about the 3.0 GPA is true. As long as you have your prereqs done, you stand a great chance of getting in. My class consists of students from all over, not just UAH. The only advantage those who completed prereqs at UAH have over me is that they are familiar with the University, already know other students (helps with forming study groups), and well, that's about it. Once you get in, be ready because if you are not organized and mentally prepared, you will be overwhelmed.

Yep, that is correct. Congrats to those who were selected. The easy part is over. Good luck.

Matt, I have a friend who's graduating this summer from, I'll check with him to see if he's gotten any word yet on orders. I have a question for you...I'm waiting to receive my orders to head to school this fall...was there some place you had to go to get your orders to report to school?

Cpez I'm not sure how the Reservist do their promotions, but in the Active 1LTs get promoted to CPT in around 1.5 years... I'm sure it takes longer in the reserves. Our recruiters are not the best, so you have to do a lot of research on your own. Have you looked into the Uniformed Public Health Service (google it)? With your education and work experience, I'm sure you can come in at a better pay grade

I'm in the same course. The professor isn't helpful at all. I've been focusing on the course objectives. I have a funny feeling that some of the questions from our quizzes will show up there along with labs and additional questions from the games and flash cards.

Sorry AECP doesn't work that way. You can find the FY12 message in AKO by doing a search for AECP. If you want to apply for AECP, you can only apply for FY12 (begin classes 1 Jan 2012). The deadline for applications will be 1 Feb. SFC Forney at USAREC will be your POC.

Great information. After finding out I was accepted into the AECP program, I began focusing on applying to schools with high 1st time pass rates. I know I have a lot to learn in a short period of time, but have already began preparing myself for this. I already made plans to shadow some of the nurses at WRAMC from now until I leave for school. The information and guidance you have provided means a lot. Thanks. Hopefully I'll have several schools to choose from in November.

Thanks for the info aggie...I decided that it would be best for me to not rush this because I want to be a first time go when it comes to the NCLEX. Congrats kyexplorer on your selection. I was shocked to see so few people selected this FY

Thanks for your response. I was accepted in the AECP for FY11 and so far have only been accepted in to Alcorn State University for Fall 2011,but I would like to attend a program that is either accelerated or begins in the Spring.

aggie nurse, Which schools did you apply to? How was the process after you got selected into the AECP?

SGT Auggie I just applied for FY11 and currently awaiting the board. Some where in the guidelines, it states how many days you have to submit the post board information which includes your acceptance letters. You have until 1 Feb 2011 to submit your packet. I'm sure your husband will have an answer by then. Also, the recruiters for AECP are very helpful.
