studying for LSAT

Few nurses have ever or will ever take the LSAT - if they even know what it is. You will get better answers on a forum for law students or legal personnel.

I took it twice and would recommend the Powerscore series of review books based on my experiences and those of my friends.

I took the LSATS when I was trying to get into Law School. I did not get in, much to my regret. Anyway, I was going to make another attempt at Law School last year and I bought, "LSATS for Dummies". I bought in in Barnes and Noble in the mall. You can probably get in on line on their web site. The problems are pretty much the same in all of the books. I think that I used the Princeton Review for the LSATS ten years ago. Anyway, good luck. Alot of nurses have gone to Law School. It is a better idea than Masters or even a Doctorate in nursing, in terms of compensation. Just look at how poorly Doctorate prepared nurses are who teach in Nursing schools. Why get all that education, and be paid so poorly? I would want a return on my investment. Good Luck!

I took the LSAT in 2006 - I used Princeton Review almost exclusively and did EXCEPTIONALLY well (only to turn around and decide to go to Nursing school instead - and boy, there are some days when I really wonder what the H*LL I was thinking!). I felt that the review materials prepared me VERY well and were very accurate in terms of what I actually encountered on the test.

Good luck!

Interesting convo here-I haven't started nursing and i'm already regretting I didn't pursue law school after college b/c I excelled at debate in high school,etc.. (law school seemed too expensive and 15 months for a nursing degree seemed easier than 3 more years of school---but putting off what you truly enjoy prolly catches up with you anyway.

i got a second bachelors in nursing, passed nclex, was recently hired at a good hospital in NYC with great starting pay but I feel like I'm playing a role!!!!

My first degree was journalism-I felt like that was/is my true identity, I was naturally just good at it. my journalism professors seemed dumbfounded at my career switch. I don't even like telling people that I'm an RN mainly because I don't feel like one, like it doesn't suit my strengths/personality despite well in nursing school,passing nclex in an hour blah blah blah.

I did health/medical reporting and what makes me smileis whenI thinkof myself as a journalist undercover as a nurse. It'll certainly provide me with lots of material and pays better. yeah yeah I didn't add much to the dialogue here but needed to vent
