Who wants free money? Say, $100 for NCLEX review!

Hey guys...This is no hoax. Below is a modified posting of what Kelly Widger from 3rd semester just posted today. She had just found out from the nursing success grant program that we can get some free money...Read on...

GREAT NEWS......... the nursing success grant will be paying $100 of your registration fee for the NCLEX review session of your choice!! This is only if you are eligible for their services and enrolled with them. If you are a student that receives a refund for the ATI testing or that does not have to pay for ATI then chances are you are eligible. This is a one time offer .

This works great for those of us wanting to attend the review at SFSU, thus possibly lowering the price down from $200 to $100 for 1st timers, and literally for free for those of us returning! Remember, the grant will be paying $100 of your $200 fee, or $100 of the NCLEX review of your choice. You will not need to be reimbursed this $100 it goes directly to Review for Nurses in San Francisco or to review of your choice, but must be sent directly to organization not to ADN student.

What you need to do:

For those of you who want to do the Davis review I've been informed by Sally Lagerquist that our due date has been significantly expedited due to the vast number of people interested. I'll start collecting registration forms and payment on Monday Oct. 01 with the due date of final collection on Monday Oct. 15. The sooner I get this stuff, the better I can coordinate with Kelly Widger from 3rd semester and Sally Lagerquist to ensure actual pricing and savings with the nursing grant office!

***There are 58 multiple choice questions on this midterm. Some are multiple/multiples. Most are written as application questions. Some questions are taken from lecture and others are from the text.

I found this on a different blog, Julie mentioned that the test is only 58 questions and I am going to assume that she is not going to change the test that Terry has written for past classes

Pass the Word!

Check your student email - there is an email from Mary Neville about paperwork we need to bring for Monday's N10 Lecture Sept 17th regarding NCLEX applications.
