yaya, that is the book i had too ^_^ and remember to study some physics, cuz there were 8 to 10 questions are in the physics part i dont have any physics but i had it in high school, so i guessed most of the questions....HMMMM, the life in nursing is.......busy busy busy busy busy.....u have to read 500 pages or more maybe 1000 pages for one exam which only worth 10 to 20% of your grade, final will be cumulative!!!!! papers, group work, community projects, a lot a lot!!!!! u definitely have to finish allllllll general classes b4 nursing because u will not have time for other classes beside nursing classes. I am too stupid i didn't finish 2 general classes and get into nursing and now i have to figure out how i am going to have time to take those classes.....I dont study all the time, too lazy....^_^ but if you study, u have no problem to get B, if you want to get A, u definitely need to sacrifice most of your relaxed time. Nursing is very different, u have to think all the time instead of memorizing the study materials, that is why i dont do very well in it... lack the critical thinking technique....yaya, and u need to learn more vocabularies, I would say if you learn 5 new voc per day from now u will do fine in the exam ^_^ hehehe:welcome: by the way, when are u going to apply?

I didn't apply for other school when i was applying Hunter. The NLN exam? hmmm...actually i just practiced the whole book once, and it is really helpful. hmm, I had a lot of chemistry and biology classes so the science part is not hard for me and neither the math. but the verbal part...i did TERRIBLE!!!!! The actual exam is similar to the study guide and some questions ARE from the study guide. but the math part is harder in the actual exam. The most challenge part is the timing. U know u only have 80 mins for 80 questions in the verbal part i guess, or 100 mins for 80 questions i dont remember, but i know i didn't finish the verbal part, still got 20 questions left by the time i need to turn in the exam 60 mins for 60 questions in math, 60 mins for 60 questions in science. AND in each section there are 20 questions are ONLY for survey purpose :::so they will thow them out hopefully. but you will not know which are for survey and which are not. The application for nursing is only ask you to fill out the classes you took and the grade u earned, nothing related to essay. dont worry about that. Working in hospital as volunteer is good exp because it is good for your proforile in the future. When you get into nursing, u also have opportunity to work in hospital as intern, so you earn more exp. so just work hard and keep ur gpa high and do well in the nln, u should have no problem to get into Hunter. ^_^

yeah, i am in nursing now, this is my second semester^_^ 2 more semesters to go.

GPA > 3.4 u will be fine. pre-nln > 120 you will be fine. Dont worry about the verbal part, i did worse than u...only got 29/60 ^_^

principle of biology I? I took it last year, it is very simple, easier than micro, all about the cell, cell function, water, carbon structure, metabolism pathway, membrance structure and function, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, cell communication, cell cycle, meiosis and mendel and gene idea...something like that....so i think you will be ok if you are very interested on biology :chuckle good luck on that

Do anyone who is in Hunter nursing now know that we have to wait till 5/17 the exact day to receive the letter???????????????? i am out of patient and so nervous:((

thanks a lot:D

Really???? wow...thats cool.....so they look at your composite NLN score right? BEcause my friend told me that some schools look at their individual test scores and used the point system, every subsection of the test should be 50% or above of the percentile......I did soooooooooo terrible in english, 29/60 questions=failed...if they look at inividual section... I really don't know how hopefully I could get in. Will they also tell u the rank when u get the acceptance letter?

Hey, don't worry, u got so high NLN, i am sure that u will get in...but me...sigh...that low...126, u know i am the only one chanceless after i heard the person with 3.6 cannot get in.... so...i think i should be the one who worried about that...goood luck:)

Thanks a lot, I am still waiting for my letter.....hopeless sometimes:( cuz it is so competitive, but thank u very much for ur help:)

HI, I am a student in Hunter college too, I applied for the nursing program this fall, I am very curious to know, you have 3.6 GPA and cannot get into the program?? and I would also like to know how they view the Pre-NLN exam score, they will look the overall score or individual test score. I have 126 on the composite, but I did poorly on the english part, only got 38%, so...if they break it down, I cannot get into hunter nursing...so anyone has any idea from the past? thank you very much for your help
