Applications start next Monday and I was wondering if anyone wants to share their science GPA or PAX scores? I am taking my exam tomorrow evening (cutting it close). I am so nervous for this application. We can utilize this thread to also talk about upcoming interviews and who got accepted and with which stats.
The above link is a resource for those who need help calculating their GPA. Plug in the following classes and your grades.
EN 101 English Composition I 3 credits
PSYC-101 Psychology I 3 credits
MATH-119/MATH-336 Math I 3 credits
BI-301 Anatomy and Physiology I 4 credits
Total Pre-Clinical Credits - 13
As per their website the following substitutions are allowed for an overall stronger GPA.
Bio-302 for Bio-301
Eng-102 for Eng-101
PSYC-220 for PSYC-101
And I was told by the nursing department to substitute my A&P I score (B-) for my A&P II score (A).
My GPA with the adjusted grade came out to 3.677 and it's making me so stressed.
Once I receive my PAX grade I will respond to this post.
Hopefully starting this conversation will help someone as I found previous posts like this comforting and full of information (dates of when interviews are scheduled, when acceptances/rejections are sent out, when the program begins, etc)
Studying for the pax I used the Red NLN RN Pre-Entrance EXAM book that was suggested, the practice exams provided by NLN website, the NLN PAX app on iphone and quizlets (although quizlets were just a lot of regurgitated from the NLN website)
For some background information, I applied previously to an accelerated private school program and got in, however that school was not yet accredited and I did not want to gamble with loans. I took the HESI for that school and got an almost perfect score (subtle brag) but I definitely felt that compared to the content on the PAX, the HESI exam was easier and it did not have a physics topic.
Sorry for the long post, but Good Luck EVERYONE (if anyone sees this post, ever)
So word of advice that is coming from a friend who is already in the program: she saids that it is best to start reading the textbook as soon as you can. Because once the nursing semester starts, you will be hit with so much information to the point where you feel like you are falling behind. Here is the link to the NU101 textbook: https://shop.lww.com/Lippincott-CoursePoint--Enhanced-for-Taylor-s-Fundamentals-of-Nursing/p/9781975205362

Did anyone had trouble registering for the NU101 class? It wouldn't let me register until 10:03 and by then, most of the clinical site including Flushing and Queens Hospital became full. Orzac was the only one that remained and ultimately, the one I enrolled in. (not an ideal clinical site, very far away)

I can't wait to meet some of you! 🙂
I am going to take one of the evening classes. Hopefully it won't be too hard to juggle with work and all!
