3. hesi exit exam

   Starashe replied to hollyberryh20's topic in Student Assist

   i'm sorry youre frustrated. I can tell you that none of the students that are in my program enjoy taking HESI's. they're a bunch of crap! and DEFINITELY not a reflection of your abilities of a nurse. Good luck when you take it next!

   Starashe replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

   TURN THE PATIENT EVERY 2 HOURS!! and probably fromt he ear it would be CSF.

5. Exit HESI

   Starashe replied to rncash's topic in Student Assist

   HESI is no fun. just study the stuff that youve been taught. Some iphone or ipod touch applications help with studying. Ive begun to use NCLEX stuff for everything!

9. How has your perception of nursing changed?

   Starashe replied to nursejodiecvicu's topic in Student Assist

   my perception has changed a bit only in that i am not as idealistic as i first was. Most of the nurses that i have shadowed seemed to be a bit jaded about their patients and definitely don't spend as much time with them as i think they should.

10. ? about Physical Assessment

    Starashe replied to adnstudentnurse's topic in Student Assist

    Pulses are sometimes hard to find, but they are important. Find anyone you know who you can look for pulses! other students are the best guinea pigs!
