Everyone just turns in their book. You can include your work on extra notebook pages. You have to make sure you show your work.

*my advice

I was just browsing this board and noticed this post. I might have mis-read this but if you are a CNA you don't qualify for advanced placement. It's LPN, paramedics, and respiratory. My advance (current student) don't skip it. You learn how to take the tests, care plans, and how to juggle your study schedule.

Last go round everyone got their letters after 6 on a Friday. Check again in a few hours.

Definitely retake it.

Go to YouTube and do a search for "nursing school." The results will include current nurses who have thousands of subscribers.

I don't post often on the boards, I'm usually just a lurker, but I have a question that sort of piggybacks what the OP is asking (I think). I "think" the OP is referring to Youtubers who are nurses and/or nursing students who have a following and put out videos about their experiences and some of them review products as well. While I think it is nice to have a resource of sorts like YT for people to be able to hear others experiences, I'm wondering if this whole trend is frowned on by the nursing schools/communities. I just went to my nursing school orientation and they were VERY specific about how you really want to monitor your online presence, etc., which makes me nervous to have any sort of online ANYTHING. Yet, there is a whole slew of nursing students posting about their experiences, etc., on YT complete with their whole names and some doing practice NCLEX questions and selling drug cards/note taking stuff on Etsy. This is kind of scary I would think. Thoughts?

I got in! Whew! Hugs to all!

Thank you IRSC for just giving me a mini-heart attack. I have my browser open with my email open and I heard the alert for an email and the subject line was "Congratulations"....It was an email about the Aspen Award stuff. WTH????

There's 10 guests browsing this forum guys. Everybody who's lurking introduce yourselves. There's comfort in numbers. LOL.

They should really provide counseling for us. Lol

Good for you! Also having A and P and Micro both completed helps you. A lot of us are applying with only 16 class points and our NLN.

Fingers crossed for all of us. Hopefully "there was the largest applicant pool this year" is the standard answer they give. Lol.

Brittani22 I know!!! They just need to tell us already!

If you go to the IRSC Book Exchange FB group someone mentioned the applicant pool on there. I don't know how that person got that info. I thought they didn't tell that stat.

167...151 on NLN and 16 for class points. Im taking micro this semester.

Hey everyone. I usually lurk this board. I'm also anxiously awaiting to see if I was accepted or not. I felt pretty confident but someone posted on FB that this is the biggest applicant pool they've had. Im wondering if this person really knows or not. Now im worried.

That's what I thought BUT this is the answer I got back from the nursing department at IRSC.... [COLOR=black] My Question: "I was at the RN orientation about 2 months ago and I have a question. Yesterday in class someone mentioned that applicants for the RN program who are already LPNs actually have a certain number of seats reserved for them...so their LPN actually gives them an advantage irregardless of the point system when it comes time to be accepted into the program. Is this accurate?" Here is the response I got: [COLOR=#1F497D]"LPN’s have preference into the program , however, they must make the minimum requirements. They are the first to be accepted. Then, we use the point system for selecting the traditional students. There is not a set number." So....maybe I'm not interpreting her answer correctly, but it seems to me like their licence does come into play in the admission criteria.

I have a question that I don't know an answer even exists for: If someone with an LPN scores 152 and I (not an LPN) score 160...Do they get preferential treatment for admissions to the program? Just curious. I went to orientation and the lady who was running it specifically told everyone "The only thing that matters is your points. Being an LPN or a paramedic makes no difference" (She said it twice.) But then later I learned that wasn't correct and there is some sort of preferential treatment for LPNs. Also, second question, how many students in the program are LPN versus traditional students? Half, third, 3/4?

Okay...I went to the Orientation and I left there more confused. I have all my information, I'm currently enrolled, and I feel like I got a pretty good grasp of how/when/what's expected. I understand the whole point system. Yesterday in class someone said that anyone with an LPN license gets "special" admittance first. So here's my question: If an LPN takes the NLN test and gets a score of 130 and I take the NLN and get an overall score of 160....Do they get in BEFORE me? Is it known what is the average of LPN applicants versus traditional students? Example out of 70 accepted are 50 LPN and 20 traditional, etc.?
