Hey fellow posters, new to this site. Thought I could get some insight to those who have a degree in Nursing or like me a nursing major. I'm a nursing major in a CUNY college for associates degree. I have completed all my previous requisites in the fall 2014. I took the NLN exam in April 2015 with the flu. Though I had some idea. I quickly realized after the 1st part of the test that it is based not on what you know as much as it's about how fast you can answer 80+ questions in 1 hr. Needless to say I failed by a few points. Now I have to wait 6 months to take it again (October 2015). If I pass I then have to take the schools nursing exam ATI and after that a Math test. The problem is the school admits students once a year in the fall. Which means I now have to wait almost a year b4 I can get into the program. That means August 2016. Not excluding GPA, test scores, and overall grades in key courses. The program is 2 years just for the associateS degree, and I found out the program lout accreditation. Now I'm sitting idle taking classes that are not part of my major biding time to retake the test and get into the program. Most of us in this field has heard that you need a bachelor's degree to be employable. So I know this is only one step in a long quest towards an RN DEGREE. Can anyone tell me what I need to get into the nursing program in LEHMAN COLLEGE. I have heard from a few friends that transferred there that the classes vary from my current school, but at least you take the NLN, ATI, NCLEX after you have completed your major requirements. Any help, info I can get would be helpful in my decision. I plan to go visit the school, but I know often that faculty don't give as much info as those students who are actually are students going thru it. Every little bit helps. Thanks in advance... AT A CROSSROADS......
