I just got back from a 3 hour pre nursing entrance exam and boy am I glad it’s over.
To get into the nursing program of my choice, Philips Beth Israel School of Nursing, I was required to take the NLN’s pre nursing school entrance exam which consisted of verbal, math and science questions.
I went into the test knowing that verbal would probably be pretty easy, math wouldn’t be too difficult but I would have to keep my eye on the time and science would be the most difficult subject for me. Well that turned out to all be true.
I need to get in the 55th or above percentile, which is weighted when compared to other people taking the test, so it’s not like I need to get 55% or more of the questions right, but rather I need to do better than 55% of those who took the test.
I should know in 2 weeks and then hopefully soon after that I will hear something from the school!

I hope you were able to follow the exam with something like putting your feet up for a while, or a nice meal, or doing something fun. For myself, written tests usually were like a sport to me, but I know they don’t hit everyone that way.
