Micro is all memorization. Are you making flash cards? Creating mnemonic devices? Studying each day instead of cramming is key.

There is graduate financial aid. You can get federal direct loans; I think it's about $20,500 a year.

!!! :) Well as long as you are eligible for financial aid here then you should be golden! I believe that you still would be ineligible for grants but would have all of the loan money available. There are also PLUS loans but I am not entirely sure how they work.

Also, if you have not capped out your federal loans (it's around $57,000) then you are still able to get some loan money but you will not be eligible for any grants. Unfortunately the loan money most likely will not cover each semester's tuition so you will have to come up with a funding plan or private student loans. I never recommend private student loans. In fact, if I were a student at Hogwarts (Slytherin probably), my boggart would be my private student loans' promissory notes. I doubt there is even a patronus big enough to vanquish them. :) (I hope someone gets this)

Any federal financial aid you have received is stored in the NSLDS and when you file your FAFSA, which you would have to do to receive financial aid, anything you have ever received will show up (Subsidized, unsubsidized, any federal grants).

Private student loans are notoriously hard to get, it's not like the glory days of 06-08 when they were handing them out like party favors. *shivering thinking of my undergrad private debt* But seriously, you need a co-signer. >90% of private student loans need co-signers. Seriously consider a different route if private student loans are something you are going to need. I am buried in private student loan debt from a B.S. from a private Jesuit school. The monthly payment is like an ice storm to rush hour traffic, crippling. *screaming* DO NOT DO IT.

I had Dr. Campbell, he is hilarious. I guess he also teaches at Kulpmont. Here are 4 oranges, now which is the most orange? Good lord. What even is that?

Congratulations! I took pharmacology this semester and the professor, who also teaches the nursing classes, mentioned that over 20% of the new nursing students were going to fail the first semester; scared me a bit. I am really happy that you did so well!

Hope your semester was awesome!! I am hoping so hard to get in this year.

Hi! It's done on a points system to get accepted. Each grade in the pre reqs is equivalent to 1-6 points. Those with the highest get in the program. You get bonus points if you were denied last year as well as if you are registered for spring.

Thanks! I will only have one pre req left after this semester so hopefully that doesn't hurt me come application time.

Hi! Congratulations on starting classes! Hope everything is going well so far! I also attend LCCC. I am really hoping to get accepted into the nursing program for 2016.

I passed the first time. I studied the book for 3 weeks or so before taking it.

Try not to look at it as a wasted year. Use this time to study for the pax. Take it in April. If you do not pass, take it in the fall. You have two chances to pass it! :) they do not care what the score is, just that you get over 100. The best advice I have for that test is just to relax. Do not obsess over the clock. Math scares a lot of people because they perceive it to be hard but if you just learn the basic rules (geometry, converting decimals and fractions, order of operations etc. etc.) you will be fine. And remember lccc only wants the composite score over 100 so if you aren't that good at math you can make up for in in the verbal and science section. Do all the practice tests in the book, it is really going to help you. You will get over a 100 this time. Have faith in yourself because a positive attitude is definitely going to help you the morning you sit down for that test. :)

Have you gotten the nln study guide yet? I think it helps, especially as a physics refresher. I used that and got a 141 on the pax. Unfortunately I did not have enough pre reqs done so I did not get in this year. I will have everything done in December so I should be good for next year. My application is already in :)

It's a point system. Each grade has a point equivalent and you have to pass the pax exam. The students with the most points get in.

Hey guys! Anyone else hear anything? I just made my schedule for fall. I will be done with all my pre reqs by December. Hopefully then I get in :)

Have you been given a reason for denial? Is there someone you can make an appointment with at your school to discuss how you can make yourself more competitive?

The letter won't tell you the reason, you have to make an appointment in admissions to speak to the nursing guy, his name is Jim. I took my pax in November. My denial wasn't my PAX it was because I still have pre reqs to do. I am taking ap2 and micro now and will have all the classes finished by December as long as I take a summer class. I falsely though my high pax and high gpa were going to override not having all the pre reqs done. Oops.

Did you sign up to retake the pax? Do you have the study guide? The study guide helps.

I am pretty sure that if you go to the admissions office they will let you know. If its a "no" then you can make an appointment with the nursing guy and he will go over the application with you and what you need to do to try to get in next year. I have been hearing about Kulpmont admissions since the middle of the month so maybe he is one of the few whose acceptance is dependent upon someone else not accepting their offer.

I am still holding onto hope that you are in because you don't have a denial. You could have enough points to be in the small waiting pool for hose who don't make their deposits by the 3rd.

The pax is either pass/fail. No points given for the score. I scored in the 97th percentile and was denied. You definitely need to have all the pre reqs done. It's all about how many points you have. Each class grade had points attached to it. Also, any classes registered this semester do not count. They have to be completed classes.

At least the you would know everything.
