Just keep trying. I have a 144 NLN, a biology degree from UH and over 2 years direct patient care in a healthcare setting and I still haven't received that acceptance letter. I did make the wait list for UH and KCC but after many applications. You just gotta keep trying. Good luck.

They said late November.

I know. UH nursing dept said those getting in have 120's for NLN. My problem is that my bachelor's gpa was bad. I had to work a full time job, part-time job and attend class full time (12+ hours) every semester to get done. I didn't have the time needed to get good grades in my organic chemistry, immunology, cellular/molecular biology, physics... so my grades suffered. I'm in a total different position now and have all A's in A&P I & II, pharm, Micro...so hopefully they see the change in me! All current A's, 2.5years as a lab assistant and phlebotomist in a hospital, and a 144 NLN should count for something though...right? we'll see

Add me to the list waiting for the letter. I've applied to the KCC ADN program 3 times already so I hope my UH application is the winner. I have a Bio degree from UH and scored a 144 on NLN and have all my pre/co-reqs done with a gpa of about 3.6........and still can't get in!! Gotta keep the faith though. Good luck all.

All I can say is apply to several schools! Take every chance you can. I live in Hawaii where the options are very limited and the competition is stiff. I have a biology degree, scored a 144 on the NLN pre-nursing exam, have a 3.6 GPA and I'm on my 3rd application for an associates in nursing! Several hundred applicants and only 30 accepted per semester. Good fun!
