Hi there... Is there anyone out there who has had A&P2 and can take a few minutes to explain preload and afterload to me. I have read it too, too many times in many different ways and I'm still...
I'm hoping someone can help me understand some acid-base disorders. I can look at an ABG and determine whether it's acidosis, alkaloisis, compensated or uncompensated. But that's the easy stuff. I...
That's a pretty good score, Kate! Congratulations. !00 composite score is the average median. You did well. The one thing you need to look at is your percentiles for the program you're entering....
hey there...it took close to three months for me to receive the letter. I know your agony. Hold tight and keep your mind occupied as much as possible. Good luck to you and let us know. We're waiting...
my acceptance letter. I got in yesterday and I honestly think I know what people who hit the lottery feel like. It's amazing. I went to church today and thanked God for all he had to do with my...
Hey there...Letters of acceptance or denial are mailed today, probably recieve them on Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm a basket case as I have put all my eggs in one basket..NOT good, I know. Anyway, I'm...
I have looked every where myself for them, to no avail. I do know that a composite over 100 is considered average. And your percentile for whatever program you're going into gives you a good idea as...
I'm not trying to be sarcastic here at all, please believe that, but I'm a little nervous reading your post. Do instructors teach you this or expect you to learn it yourself? I hope they indeed do...
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You indeed scored very well...You scored in the 91 percentile, which means you scored better than 91% of the people who took that very same test or only 9 percent of the test takers...
I'm not going to sugar coat anything here...It's gonna be a tough ride with little support. If your husband isn't on board with your dreams, find out why and see if you change his perspective. Some...
The NLN exam is much more difficult than the NET test. The NLN exam has a section of science which covers physics, chemistry, A &P, etc. The NET does not test in science.Whoever told you the NET...
Okay, first thing you want to do is call the schools you are applying to and find out when and where to take this test. The test is given to measure your aptitude in these areas. Apparently it is a...
It is the National League of Nursing pre-entrance exam. It test in math, reading, and science. It is a bit harder than the NET and I believe the same as the TEAS. Hope I
Hi there...I'm a dixon nursing student wanna be...LOL...what have I heard? hmm...let's see. I have heard it's almost impossible to get into the school...LOL. I heard they only take 4.0 students with...
Hey girls...and guys..LOL...does anyone out there have any experience or insight that they might be willing to share about Nursing school pre-admission interviews? Mine is set for early December and...
Hi there...Just took my NLN also so I know they are confusing to understand. This is what I was told by our admissions director. 100 is the average score for composite. Just as the last poster...
Gosh, whatever happened to the days when B's were good grades? I happen to still think they are. All this pressure to get A's is crazy isn't it? If they had more teachers to teach nursing school it...
Thank you both for taking the time to explain that to me. With both your reply's leaning on each other I think I finally grasp the concept of afterload/preload. One little baby step at a
Cheryl, Here is what I was just recently told by my admissions director. They look at the entire picture. This includes any previous medical related work experience, GPA, NLN scores and reference...
If you truly have the desire to be a nurse, you'll make it happen. I'm sure you will hear that many times over, but it is really true. It won't be easy and as I'm sure you have read on this board it...
Sometimes when something really great happens, something you've been waiting and working so hard for actually happens, nerves set in. It's the ol' "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling. The...
Like others have said, only you know what you can do, BUT I strongly suggest against it. Those are two really tough courses. You won't know that you got in over your head til your sinking...and then...
Hi, The fact that you just took algebra is great since that was the hardest math they cover on the test and even that was very easy...simple algebra. As far as the other stuff covered...I would say...
