i took the NET about a month ago. it really isn't so bad but it had been quite a while since i had did basic math fractions, decimals so i would definelty brush up on that stuff, the reading section isn't to hard just watch your time its very easy to lose track of it. also on the prenursing student forum there is a sticky thread at the top about the NET it was very helpful to me in preparing for my NET exam. i wish you the best of look. butterfly

I'm currently a student at Lenape School of Practical Nursing in PA. I'll graduate in August and I couldn't be more excited!

As far as the NET goes, I thought it was pretty easy, and I had been out of school for 6 years. I think you only have to score a 40% on the reading comprehension, which in my opinion, is pretty low by most school standards.

Overall though, I really have enjoyed my experience as a student nurse. Sure, there's times when my classmates get on my nerves, but i'm a firm believer in your education is what you make it. The biggest piece of advice I can give you is to be a go-getter: Make sure you know all the stuff about your patient (labs, treatments, meds, past medical history, ect.) and also go above and beyond what you're expected (help the aides make beds, answer call bells, fill ice pitchers.) Things like that always impress the instructors, as well as hospital staff.

The nice thing about Lenape is you get experience in many different fields of nursing: LTC, Med-Surg, ER, wound clinic, labor & delivery, doctors offices, and visiting nurses to name a few.

I hope I was helpful with your question, and as always...

Good luck to you with nursing school!
