I assume i will start the fall of 07' took this year to get many pre-req hours out of the way.

i took and passed the NLN Friday the 15th :)

my score was an early birthday present to myself :) I turned 19, six days before Christmas :)

Min for BSC is 100, my score was 126 out of 160

So with my score and transcript i shouldnt have any trouble getting into the AD program :)

so i will be 19 entering the program

I started the program right out of high school at age 18 but quit as soon as I learned we had to give each other shots! Took some time to grow up, get a good paying job, further my education via a BS in Psychology and master's study in another field. I was so impressed by that nursing program though that I returned to it at age 26; got the nursing license when I was 27!
