The clinical sights are all LTC and rehab type places out in BFE. I'm talking... Forest Grove, Hood River, and many other places 30+ miles from school. Some students were driving from Wilsonville or Salem to Hood River twice a week for clinicals. The...

There were some tricky questions on the reading comprehension part.

Congrats! I went to CUI for my bachelor's degree in Biology. I wish they had a BSN program back then! I loved going to school there and living in OC. Irvine is a great place to live.

I think they will be calling for financial aid appts. when they have a pretty good idea of who will be getting in. I'm fine w/ Sept. or Dec. too, but would definitely prefer Sept.

The math, grammar, and vocab were JUST like in the book. The reading was a bit easier than the book. But the book helped me a lot. We had to take all of the portions (I took it June 3), but apparently they are only counting the math and english. It w...

Good luck! I scored 94 on the math and English portions of the test. Hopefully we both get in to the Portland program. I am really excited too! You will do great w/ the HESI. Message me if you have any questions about it.

The grammar and vocab are JUST like the study guide. There is a math calculator built in, but it's very basic. You'll just push a button and it pops up. From what I recall, there were no questions about sentence structure, and it was all very simple....

Very exciting!! I hope I find out sooner rather than later... I think we won't find out until August if we are starting in the September class though.

*shrug* I think that we're all entitled to our opinions. I consider that stealing though.

I think it's kind of lame that you returned the book after getting what you wanted out of it. Isn't there a copyright on that book? The HESI was easy peasy. I took it and got a 94.

OK. I took mine today at the Portland campus. Kurd, they should have emailed you the scores today, because they only email them out after every 25 students pass the test and I was one of the last 3 needed to close that test group out. The other half...

The program I'm looking in to tests once at the beginning, and then any time they think it is required. If you come to school or clinicals high, or appearing to be high, they will require that you get tested. If you pass the whiz quiz, they pay for i...

KurdMA, how did it go???

Let me know how the HESI goes!

Thank you for sharing this information. I'm excited to take my test knowing that it isn't super difficult!

KurdRN, I have been told by two posters so far that it is OK to bring a calculator. One said in an email that someone in their info session asked if calculators were allowed and the person said yes. So, I'm going to bring one just in case. Someone on...

I'm looking at taking Stafford loans out, and if I have to get a private loan, I will. There are loan programs through places like Wells Fargo that are for people in nursing programs. I think there may be a federal loan program for nursing too, but c...

Oh man, oh man! I've been practicing the questions in the study guide strictly by hand, because I assumed a calculator wouldn't be available. I've been doing really well, too! This is great news. Thanks for the information. I work in healthcare now, ...

Thanks! We're you allowed a pencil and paper to work the math problems?

I'm taking it on the 3rd. The lady told our info session (Portland campus) that the average was around 83, but wasn't entirely sure because they had to reevaluate since they removed the science. Then someone here said with the science removed it was ...

The ITT in Indiana is pending NLN accredidation. Just because it isn't granted YET doesn't mean it won't be. The school I got undergraduate from is still pending NLN approval, but it is a well respected BSN program.

2008pn, thanks for sharing your perspective on ITT.

Wow. 3.8 and 7 years of experience and still rejected? Dang!

I definitely appreciate your insight. It seems like you've been doing your research. I'm not sure where you live, but here in Portland, people w/ 3.6, 3.7 etc. GPA's are being refused, and they have CNA's etc. I'm not concerned about the amount of tu...

Because it is really competitive here and my GPA, although decent isn't really good enough to get in to those programs. I think that I'd just like to get started now instead of waiting another year to apply, hoping I get in... with a good chance at N...
