That should be a good enough score to get in. Especially if you have all of your support courses done and you get your 3 points for reapplying. I graduated in May. It's a great program! Brookhaven has a great reputation. Good luck!
I think I got a 95 when I took it. I would say to aim anywhere above an 85. The higher your score, the better your chances. There is a HESI study guide you can get at the bookstore (the off-campus one is where I found it) that is really good.
Not exactly true. I was offered several ICU positions (where there were only 1 or 2 spots available) over BSN graduates, and I have an ADN. One of them was a magnet hospital. It's all very competitive whether you have an ADN or BSN. Of course, I'm s...

I just recently narrowed it down between all of my offers to one in CVICU. I live in Dallas and it pays 24/hr with great shift diffs. I am very excited!
This is true, a lot of people in my class haven't gotten jobs yet (about 75%). It's more competitive than ever. I would absolutely take the ER position. It will be much easier to get into ICU after you have worked in the ER since in some places th...

I would absolutely go. They will most likely be choosing their favorites out of the people that showed up to the open house and interviewed. If you really can't go, I would try to set up an interview on another day. If you don't interview, you pro...
