  6. IRSC ADN Program Spring 2012

    shannarini71 replied to mynameisjay's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Sunshine! I know what you mean--it's such a competitive program and there are probably lots of people with really good scores, so it's all just a guessing game at this point. All we can do is try...

    shannarini71 replied to mynameisjay's topic in Florida Nursing

  12. IRSC applicants/student--interpreting NLN scores with new report format for points

    shannarini71 posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, Took the NLN RN and got a 149 composite. What I'm confused about is on the IRSC point scale, it says that for the NLN, you can get from 50-99 points maximum for your NLN. How is this interpreted?...

    shannarini71 replied to shannarini71's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi, I've never taken the TEAS. For the NLN: I'd say for me the math and verbal were pretty easy but the science was kinda tough, and I've had all the prereqs. The thing that was tough for me is that...

    shannarini71 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, So I took the NLN online at my school (IRSC) and when I completed the test, it would not let me view the results, which perplexed me and the proctor. Contacted NLN and they said my results...

    shannarini71 replied to shannarini71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    shannarini71 replied to shannarini71's topic in Nursing Career
