1. HFCC Winter Program

   OhSoBlessed replied to Just_An_Illusion's topic in Michigan

   Don't lose hope! Although 60 are accepted (new students and those trying again), many potentials decide to wait until the fall semester. If you start the program in January, you have to go to school with short breaks in between semesters--this can ...

2. 1st semester at HFCC

   OhSoBlessed replied to miMOMMYof3's topic in Michigan

   Hello, Heidi! Every semester will begin with a medication calculation exam. Most dosage calculations are not tricky at all. The ones we had to carefully calculate were DIGOXIN and pediatric dosages. But the DIG and pediatric calculations will come la...

3. Paramid points in the Saunders book

   OhSoBlessed replied to ergito2's topic in NCLEX

   When I took the NCLEX, I did notice SOME questions stemming from the Pyramid Points. It IS helpful to review the statements with the pyramid next to it, but also use other methods to study for the boards. Good luck!

   OhSoBlessed replied to MN_NursingStudent's topic in General Students

   MN NursingStudent, You have got to be kidding...your clinical instructor wants you to MEMORIZE almost everything about your patient? She is being unrealistic. PERIOD! If she expected that from me, my stress level would be too high I wouldn't remem...

5. 1st semester at HFCC

   OhSoBlessed replied to miMOMMYof3's topic in Michigan

   I forgot to add something I would highly recommend... It's never too early to start using the NCLEX prep books during your studies. Nursing textbooks provide a tremendous amount of information, and you WILL find yourself asking, "How am I supposed t...

   OhSoBlessed replied to miMOMMYof3's topic in Michigan

   miMommyof3, Veruka, and amybethf, :welcome: to HFCC's nursing program! I remember what it was like my first semester at HFCC! I started the program in January 2005 and graduated in May 2006. The first semester is critical in many senses. Get a go...

7. College PASS/FAIL rates of nclex

   OhSoBlessed replied to LHRN07's topic in NCLEX

   I completed an ADN program in the state of Michigan, and our school had a first time passing rate of 87%. It used to be over 90% a couple of years ago. Those not passing the first time around said they did not study for the NCLEX at all, felt overc...

8. How long did nursing school take for you?

   OhSoBlessed replied to sweetiez's topic in New Nurse

   When I started the nursing program, I already had a Bachelor's Degree in education. I had to work full-time while going through nursing school, so I chose to go backwards as far as schooling goes and get an Associate's Degree in Nursing. Basically ...

9. How many in your class Started/Finished

   OhSoBlessed replied to carilyn's topic in New Nurse

   We started out with over 360, and a year and a half later 169 graduated from our ADN program. I don't know about other schools, but our exam passing rate was 80.00% and above. Therefore, we had many students ending the semester between 75% and 79.99...

10. Who can say they pass with little preparing?

    OhSoBlessed replied to LolaSN007's topic in NCLEX

    I finished the ADN program in Michigan back in May 2006, took the NCLEX in June 2007, and passed without having to answer bank questions. However, I did review values. Now, I did have to answer 225 questions :uhoh21:, but I went in thinking this w...

11. Hawaii NCLEX Passers

    OhSoBlessed replied to mauloa's topic in NCLEX

    Hmmm...you still haven't heard from them yet? The licensing application did say the NCLEX results would be mailed within 10 business days. If it has been more than two weeks since taking the NCLEX, I would write a letter since they do not accept pho...

    I hope you had a wonderful time traveling! Well, I can totally relate to your situation. I graduated from nursing school in May 2006 but took the NCLEX at the end of June THIS year. My problem was I was so burned out from nursing school and worki...

13. Hawaii NCLEX Passers

    OhSoBlessed replied to mauloa's topic in NCLEX

    Hi! I took the NCLEX in Honolulu on June 28, 2007, and the results were mailed on July 2. Don't look for your name on the BON website either...it won't show until you have paid your fees ($140) upon passing the NCLEX. The waiting period is tough.....
