Alexander the Great ADN, RN

I'm currently on orientation in an ICU and find some qualities of my preceptor that I like: -let's me critically think on my own and try and figure out what needs to be done first and why. -confirms my questions that I have and provides constructive ...

I did have all A's going into it. However, your PSB scores impact you the most. Make sure you study and prepare at least a month or two in advance before taking the test.

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 results. I was looking to see if anyone else that has app...

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 all categories including spelling. Just so you're ...

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 make sure you don't over study for your test tomo...

I work in a hospital as a patient care tech and only work Saturday and Sunday. I work days from 7a-7p and it has been somewhat of a struggle on weeks where I have clinical for more than one day a week. Ultimately, it sounds like your current job isn'...

I used the Mometrix study guide and prepped for like a month before taking the exam. I am currently a 1st year ADN student and I believe last year we had a lot of alternates to get in. If they tell you to show up to the orientation I would highly rec...

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 subjects that we went over.

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 with the material. Also, during the actual test, I m...

I was accepted into my second choice well before my first choice notified me. I accepted my second choice and let them know that I was expecting a notification as to whether or not I was accepted into my first choice. When I received my acceptance le...

I'm not sure. I would imagine we would be told at orientation. Congrats to you as well!

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 back.

That's not a bad point count at all! I would imagine you should have received your letter today. Not sure how far away from Wilmington you are. Best of luck to you.

I'm in! With 372.5 points.

I'm just letting everyone know that I called the counseling office and they let me know that they sent the ADN letters out this morning. We should know sometime today or within the next few days! That's exciting.

I'm hoping to hear something this upcoming week. I will probably call on Monday to see where the process is.

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 there just to appease their parents. In my A&P1...

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 that were contacted for point counts. They no long...

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 for A&P1, so that helped. I did end up having t...

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 understandable.

Thanks a lot for the reassurance! I was already accepted to one program but I really want in at CFCC because it's a lot closer and I enjoyed going to that school. I know a couple of people currently in the program there too and they told me they abso...

I went to my pre-assessment screening today for the ADN program and came out with 372.5 points. Now for the waiting game.

Woohoo, I got into my second choice Nursing Program for this Fall! I'm still waiting on my first choice and hoping that I get accepted there as well. It's just relieving knowing that I will begin the Nursing Program at one of two schools come this Fa...

Just got home to find my letter with the dates to meet with a counselor to review my point count. The dates range from February 16th through February 23rd. I would imagine 1-2 weeks after that we would find out if we made it into the program or not. ...

Well done!
