Anyone Trying To Get Into Atlantic, Sheridan, or Mcfatter 2012-2013?

Hey everyone how's it going at Atlantic? Just stopping by to say we only have 2 tests left!!! Graduate and hesi exit 2! Exactly one month util graduation November 14!! Can't wait!!!!!

Going good! We've got 6 tests left. Really supposed to be 5 but we added one. Just been going to clinicals and stuff. Same old.

Met with some of your classmates at 7th avenue clinic a couple of weeks ago. Nice ppl.

Do we have to pass the exit hesi in order to graduate?

I dont know but ppl are not too happy about graduation at our school. We were told we had to pay for brochures, invitations, seat covers, etcetera. And then we wouldn't be progressed of we didn't clean up afterwards. Take down curtains, covers off chairs, etc. do you guys have to do this bull too? I've never heard if anything like this in my life. Lmao. 40 days and counting!

Oh and my teacher said they are changing some things. Now ALL PN programs will start on the same day. No more different start dates for each school. Don't know if it starts for the next block or not.

YESSSS we had to pay for our decorations and what not kind of funny... We have to pay but have no say I'm anything.... A bunch of bulll!!!! Too and we didn't run into each other! Wah! We're done! Tomorrow is our last clinical and I'm skipping cause I have a few hours to spare. No school Monday, Tuesday we go in for some paper work and Wednesday is rehearsal! I paid for my nclex back on October 16 just did my finger prints so I'm ready to go just waiting for them to send our names. I don't know if I like that same date thing then it's like an ambush of nurses tryin to get jobs all at the same time. One of my friends from the previous block took her nclex it cut off at 85 and she had 25 select all!!! My other friend unfortunately had 205 she said most of it was things we didn't really go over.. Lots of questions about chemical war fair and anthrax she had some out in order questions about skills like catheter eye drops etc. after hearing all of that I am now scared! She also said every drug was on there we NEVER learned except Coumadin and that's the 3rd time I e heard that from someone so if you have the lpn pdq tiny booklet go over the drugs I'm there seems like they would be on the test.. Also heard to focus on hypertension and diabetes

And no you don't have to pass any of the hesi''s. (Unless you failed a section) other than that doesn't matter hey try and say you need to pass so you get a better score and raise their rankings as a nursing program but it's not mandatory but they might start making it because most of us half ass it and their scores must be dropping

So graduation was good, since I registered for the nclex a month ahead I got my ATT the day after the school sent my name... 2 weeks after graduation I did my IV THERAPY class and I just took my nclex today!!! According to Pearson vue trick I passed. Cut off at 85 questions I finished in an hour and a half it was HARD! I cried when I saw the first question lol GOOD LUCK!

That's go great! We graduated on Tuesday! It was great!
IV course is next week. I have not paid for my test yet. I plan on taking it next month.
What did you use to study? Saunders? And did you find the test similar to Saunders questions?
What testing center did you test at?
I'm so happy for you! Now are you job hunting?

Hello everyone and congratulations on graduating. I just started the lpn program at sheridan tech and I'm currently doing core online. Is there any advice anyone can give me about what I can expect from the program.

Don't slack on your reading. Don't get behind on studying. Because there will be 2-3 tests a week. Good luck!

Hey! I officially passed. I took it at the plantation site. I used the Pearson exam cram questions book. Sadly I schedule mine the same week as my math final and the day after i got back from Disney so I didn't get to study the way I wanted. Couldn't focus but the cram book def helped me. It is pretty much the same as the Hesi we take at school. I had 26 select all! I would say know the basics and you'll do fine. For sure know your lab values and therapeutic levels if you know those you'll be pretty ok and can piece together everything. I had about 3 drugs all of which we learned nothing about lol I've applied at a bunch of places online before nclex and after. Today I went and applied in person to a few places. Crossing my fingers! I'm taking chem anatomy and ethics online in January! Sadly Bc only offers the lpn-RN once a year and I won't make it this May so I have to wait til may 15 to get into the program :/ good luck without test! I'm sure you'll do fine! Just know the foundation of each system don't worry too much on anatomy it's more about procedures and positioning. Maybe chest tubes and things like that. Lots of priority and delegation. I hope this helps a bit!! And for starting the lpn just stay AHEAD of the game. Do the packets (if u guys get them) ahead of time read the book and when you get to block 2 do your drug cards ahead of time try to stay a step ahead if you fall back even a day you will not do so well so just stay positive and study!! I don't know much about Sheridan sorry I went to mcfatter good luck!!
