    knnyz replied to kwilson251's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't mean to scare ya but in my school, I've seen students get rejected with 4.0 in their prereqs because they didnt do so hot on their entrance exam (NLN PAX). So a flawless GPA is not the only...

    knnyz replied to wastoney's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never took the HESI but I did take the NLN this June and got accepted to my program for the fall! I don't think it's terribly "hard". Keep practicing questions from the review book (the red one) and...

    knnyz replied to guest829834's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I think you have to research the RN programs in your area, whether it's ASN or BSN. Look up their prereqs (they will most definitely have A&PI and II, English and some chemistry as some universal...
