Worth it yo get NCLEX accomodations

I don't want to get flagged for not being safe to practice. Because I want a private room when I write. I get accommodations with my school but I'm not Sure If it's worth asking for an exam, accommodation for my uncle's or for asking when I fill out my CNO application info.

I have ADHD it doesn't affect my ability to practice in any of my clinical experiences. However, I'm worried if my doctor writes that I can be easily distracted in a testing environment that it'll open a can of worms and slow down my Registration and testing.

Based off of my CAT performance, It shut off at 85, but even when I calculated my question x minute time. Even if I go up to 150 Q should finish before 5 hours. And both Hesi's I've taken I finish before 4hours.

I really don't want to retake it. But I don't want to delay my practice. Does anyone have any tips on how to train yourself? Not to get distracted, and are you able to pick your seat when you go to test? I'm Thinking if i sit in the front I won't get distracted? Are there any Pearson location in the GTA that automatically put me in a private room?

Has anyone had an experiance getting accomodations.

Any figure skating clubs, friendly to adult beginners?

I 22F never taken proper skating lessons. However, I really want to get into it for along time. Now that I finally finished university in a very demanding program. I finally have more free time.

ALthough I never took skating lessons , I was dumped on the ice and figured it out. I can skate well maintain my balance, manage my speed ect. I can break okay, not as confident as I would like. I Would like to take a figure skating recreationally.

I'm just wondering If anyone knows any figure skating clubs open open to adult beginners where I can take lessons.

Ideally between north york/ thornhill areas

But open to anywhere that will support my progression 🩷

Learn to skate ( Beginner or Intermediate) Will coaches teach based on existing skills?

I 22F never taken proper skating lessons. However, I really want to get into it for along time. Now that I finally finished university in a very demanding program. I finally have more free time.

I Will say (as a canadian) although I never took skating lessons , I was dumped on the ice and figured it out. I can skate well maintain my balance, manage my speed ect. I can break okay, not as confident as I would like. I'm just wondering following the learn to skate lessons available in my area. It Says that the intermediate is where you learn how to break, and the beginner is just learning how to balance.

I'm not sure if I should go with the beginner classes?

It's a group adult beginner's course, and I'm wondering if everyone learns the same thing or if they separate based on level or if an instructor would see that I'm capable of balancing with decent form and teach me beyond the basic curriculum, the website states?

My goal is to learn to figure skating (long Journey, I know, but I would like to try)

There are a limited number of spots in each course( Community center) and the beginner level is currently being offered at my closest rink, whereas the intermediate is a bit farther so it would not be easy for me to transfer to a level up or a level down. I'm kind of locked in in whatever I choose.

edit 2: I Did try to contact but they weren't too helpful with the information they said that I could switch to a higher level.If it was easy , but my local community center doesn't offer the higher level. but if its all filled I might have a problem. I also asked if they split up the beginners in groups or if everybody kind of just does the same thing?And the person said , everyone just does the same thing. But I wasn't talking to a coach, I was talking to someone in reception.

My degree requires me to take a capstone In my final semester. Based off of the assignment that we're given with the instructions, it only tells you the bare minimum you need for a c+. Unfortunately , the professor teaching is really not great. And i'm unsure what separates a good capstone , from a bad one. They provide very vague advice as to re-read the guidelines.But the guidelines themselves are vague. Also, the syllabus highlighted that Grades that we receive based off of our submitted work may not be reflective of our final grades and they reserve the right to change the grades to fit York's grading Scheme aka curve.

As title suggests I really need to hear some hope from people who did not have perfect 4.0 and got in.

I don't want to sound like a Debbie downer, and I have all the love and respect for those with their 4.00 gpas. I am un/fortunate picked a relatively hard degree, But the difficulty And time consuming nature of my degree is the trade off for a career of future stability if med doesn't work out (nursing). At a low 3.9, EC are Definitely lacking. Graduating soon so not much , I can do to boost GPA, IK EC still can grow. I know that if I don't get in , i'm very secure that I have a great backup plan.

But I don't know how I can Compete at stats heavy schools in ON, like mac. My gpa is unfortunately informed both by the difficulty of my degree, And the degenerate OMSAS conversion from my school.

A bit discouraging that majority of incoming stats show students being form 1 of 2/3 programs. Kudos to them , i'm sure they worked hard. But the fundamental point of those degrees is to give you the highest GPA and the most time to maximize every other metric. I know that every program has a trade off , and if one of these HS kids don't get in there stuck doing a masters or retaining.

I'm hoping the new IP pref. And York school will make a difference but Less than a 100 new spots prob will not fix all of our problems.

I also know comparison is the thief of joy, So thinking about the decisions I have made won't make them better. Especially because I've made the best decisions.I can with the options i've had at the time of my life that I made them.

I just feel like if I'm not superbly above avg, in every other metric ,I'm going to be left behind.

If there is anyone else who got into med school Who can give me a little bit of hope? Much Appreciate! Esp in ON.

I'm really unsure how to proceed with this. As a graduating BScN student , i'm doing my consolidation over the summer, Meaning , i'm basically going to be working full time hours like a nurse in a critical care specialty unit, Well completing my hesi (NCLEX like exams), A capstone and will also need to do my NCLEX.

IP ON, I was planning to apply to only one Non mcat school this cycle , Then study for my mcat properly and apply more broadly next year. However, I've been thinking about just preparing for the cars section of the mcat, taking the Casper and applying to just Mac and TMU.

I Was planning to work on my essays throughout my summer term. As I'm supposed to finish this semester, August 31st, But I'm not really sure how to schedule my studying for all of these tests projects and also prepping for my NCLEX all by Oct. ( I don't want to wait too long to study for the NCLEX so scared to forget things lol)

I also really want to work on some research projects this summer in public health for passion and RN oportunities. I also really wanna do well at my consolidation. Because i'm working at my dream hospital, Hoping to get a job once I'm done.

Just feeling really overwhelmed as BScN student if any other students had the same or similar experance. Anyone has advice on how to study, Should I be doing a little bit every day of everything. Every other day. Never attempted Casper or mcat.

I know realistically something has to give but I want to be wrong lol. I also know statistically, I won't get it on the first try, thats okay, more time to improve lol. However, I was hoping to apply to at least one school to see how far I can get into the process. And if I could apply to 2 and see how far I get, it would give me a better idea of where my application stands, straight R, interview, ect.

I keep stressing the BScN, because consolidation is a BEAST and I'm so nervous 😭😭😭
