   Scrubs are navy blue, it doesn't matter the style. Shoes for clinicals need to be leather, as for color, it will depend on your clinical instructor. Mine requires white leather. You can wear whatever tennis shoe you want to lab. You will receive an e...

2. Being Pulled into the Office for calling CAT

   sakiandscout replied to ryuunohime's topic in Relations

   Is it possible for the bg to have gotten so critical in 2 hours? I'm just trying to understand the reasoning for taking the extra 5 minutes to check it knowing the information from the 6:00am check. Thanks

   I am a nursing student and was wondering if you could explain the glucose. It is my understanding that a glucose of 123 is not critical-in fact it is fairly normal for a diabetic, correct? If that's the case, what would have caused the blood sugar to...

   This is what I have discovered so far; buy the patho book but buy the ebook. The books are big and bulky and hard to maneuver. Also buy the fundamentals book for care 1. You will also need the nursing diagnosis handbook and the lab book and pocket gu...

   sakiandscout replied to BobiJo's topic in General Nursing

   I literally have tears in my eyes. That was so beautiful. I am starting nursing school in August and I have been asking myself "do I really think I can do this at 44?" Your story gives me hope and inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

6. What do I do

   sakiandscout replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I started my prerequisites in 2014 at 42. I am now 44 and will start nursing school in August. I'll be 45 when I graduate and I plan on pursuing a masters at Baylor. This is your life you are talking about and you only get one. You don't want to wake...

7. Do I have hope?

   sakiandscout replied to laura25richards's topic in CA Programs

   I was in the same boat. 22 years ago I had a 1.25 gpa. I started working on my prerequisites again 2 years ago and brought my gpa up to a 3.52. The university I applied to only considered my prerequisite gpa, which was a 3.72. I found out on April 13...

   sakiandscout replied to J-Murse23's topic in Texas

   I copied this from the website. You need, at minimum, 2.75 GPA or higher in the required 60 hours of nursing prerequisites and 3.0 or higher in the required science prerequisites, and yes if you repeat a class they take the highest grade. If you atte...

   Do you drive in or take the bus? How many days a week are you actually in class and what time does your first class start? Thanks

13. I just took the Hesi A2, this is my review.

    sakiandscout replied to kktegan's topic in HESI

    No, you don't need biology or learning styles. You just need A&P, math, vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar and critical thinking. Some schools require everything, so when you take the test you have the option to take all sections. You jus...

14. Failed Hesi A2 Entrance Exam twice

    sakiandscout replied to Overton's topic in HESI

    What did you use to study? There are several study guides you can purchase, plus there is an app called Hesi A2 pocket prep that was very helpful. Good luck!
