4. 77 NCLEX questions...

   alliegem replied to alliegem's topic in NCLEX

   Hey Jessica, In my cohort, I can think of 2 people that I believe worked full time. One of them worked nights and would come to school for a full day of classes. This person fell asleep in class sometimes... but still graduated with us. The other one...

    Hey LRN2525... I was initially wait-listed (rank #4) when I applied to start in Summer 2014. I was still completing A&P II and Developmental Psych in Spring 2014...I think if I'd had those completed, I wouldn't have been wait-listed initially. An...

    Orientation is May 12, 13, 14. I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Every year is different with how many people are pulled from the wait list, so you never know. I would definitely contact the school a few days before you leave to see if they're ...

    Hey wrtrldy, I'm honestly not sure. I think we had around 15 people pulled from the wait list for our cohort, but I can't give you an exact number. I believe there were still people being pulled as late as the week before orientation. How long ago we...
