    Alexander the Great replied to Alexander the Great's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Alexander the Great posted a topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey everyone, I have applied for the ADN program at Cape Fear Community College for the Fall of 2017. I recently took my PSB-RN and I just got my scores back today after anxiously awaiting the...

  4. CFCC Fall 2017

    Alexander the Great replied to Alexander the Great's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The PSB is fairly difficult in some areas. I would suggest preparing a month or so in advance. I used a black and yellow book that I found on amazon to help prepare for the PSB. I scored very well in...

  5. How are you/did you study for NCLEX

    Alexander the Great replied to JJL618's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I used primarily NRSNG. I did the practice questions and did the SIMCLEX. I made sure to practice the subjects I was weak in and it helped me pass the NCLEX in 75 questions in just under an hour. Just...

    Alexander the Great replied to m763's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Alexander the Great replied to Djamesho's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask a lot of questions from your instructor to ensure you're actually learning the material and comprehending what is being taught. Also, I watched a lot of Khan Academy videos and still do on the...

  9. CFCC Fall 2017

    Alexander the Great replied to Alexander the Great's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I purchased the Mometrix PSB Registered Nurse Study Guide. It helped tremendously. I took about three weeks to study the book and practice the test questions. I did that to where I felt comfortable...

  10. How to politely rescind a nursing school acceptance?

    Alexander the Great replied to Nursinghopeful19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alexander the Great replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    H.S. was about a 2.7, college co-requisites was a 4.0, and I start NS this Fall. I was out of school for roughly 5 years before starting

  17. Why do I feel like this?

    Alexander the Great replied to Sbhayes09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Feel good about what you're doing. In my experience, going back to school after serving 4 years in the military and to be surrounded by more traditional students, I found that a lot of students were...

  18. CFCC Fall 2017

    Alexander the Great replied to Alexander the Great's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    The max, I'm fairly certain, is right around 388.5 and judging by the past threads of point counts that were accepted... I'd say we'd both likely get in. I was told there was roughly 285 individuals...

  19. How do people complete ADN prerequisites in only one year?

    Alexander the Great replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took all of my co-reqs in one year. I had to go to school full-time (9 credit hours) in the summer to accomplish that though. I did not have to take intro to biology or anything before registering...

    Alexander the Great replied to happyquestre12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've also applied! They, as in the counselors, don't say anything in regards to whether or not you're going to be accepted. It's frustrating but
