1. NLN Pre-RN/PAX Tips and Strategies

   goddess9 replied to sulo251's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Think of it like the SAT. It's a way schools can see how you do stacked up to your peers and is also an admissions indicator. It can definitely help an application by having a high score.

2. Think a 3.0 grade is bad in a prerequisite class?

   goddess9 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It truly depends on the area in which you're applying. If it's an impacted area, you should probably retake.

3. Prerequisites - How long do they take?

   goddess9 replied to AspiringNurseNY's topic in Pre-Nursing

   As above, it depends on how many classes you need to fulfill your school's requirements. I went part time with one class at a time and it's been two years. Your mileage will vary.

4. I'm scared

   goddess9 replied to fyrephish's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did the same with a science and worked full time... It's doable, but don't expect to have a thriving social life. The key is to stay slightly ahead of the material... That way by the end of the session you'll have an extra week or so to prep for th...

   It's based on those who are also applying to similar programs. The test is not pass/fail... It's percentiles. Most programs require you score a 50th percentile or higher to be competitive.

   I just turned down my seat this past week. I hope it frees up some space for someone. Good luck!

   goddess9 replied to lengland's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Lol, you're still young. I'm 27, and am just finishing up my prerequisites. If you want to do it, you just do it. Take the first step.

    Scoring is from 0-200 with no correlation to percentages. They're percentiles based on your performance vs. others

    Hi, everyone... I'm all done with the application to the evening program and I'm scheduled to meet with the Assistant Director for a file review. Has anyone gone through this? Is so, what does it entail? I usually do well in interviews but was wonde...

12. NLN guide for taking Pax exam?

    goddess9 replied to Cortney2013's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took the test with all of my sciences done aside from Micro. I scored in the 99th percentile. The book is definitely helpful and the test format was pretty much exactly the same. There were some weird electricity questions and my test was heavy in ...

14. When did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    goddess9 replied to rachflamini's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's been a few years coming. I should have listened to the signs. I was in undergrad for Psychology and I bumped into a nursing supervisor when I was working retail. She saw me and we got to talking... She asked me why I am not going for nursing. I ...

15. Should I make a stink about this?

    goddess9 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing

    All I really saw in your posts was an intense defensiveness and you flexing for no reason. I understand being frustrated, and I've been there many times while taking courses to get into a nursing program, but there is a way to go about it. There was ...
