    Exit hesi version 7 retake 4???

    The schools can buy different versions of the HESI exam, so while I don't know the exact method for numbering the versions, it really doesn't matter which one you take. All of the versions will be tested by HESI so that the scores are comparable reg...

    advice regarding course choice

    If you're only doing it for the purpose of trying to get in nursing school, then I would probably skip it. You can show on your application that you have previous nursing experience from your work history. The only reason I would consider doing phl...

    NCLEX RN Strategies

    Yes, the Kaplan strategies book is a good one...I recommend it to my students who want to improve their test-taking strategy for NCLEX. If you're looking for ideas on how to master pharmacology, I think using a "prototype" method is the best way to ...

    NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    I suggest starting out offering 1-2 types of classes just so that you can focus your time and develop quality course materials. As you get experience finding your ideal customer, you will also discover what they're biggest problems and concerns are ...

    Wow, I remember when you first posted this thread and I can't believe how long it's been since then! Thanks for the update, that is awesome that you have come so far. Congrats on only 6 months left!
  8. Thanks for coming back to share the correct answer, and not leaving us in suspense! I think I would have picked documentation, too. But this is a perfect example of a question where it's sooo easy to read too much into a question. If you just tak...

    NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    Hi velmalws! I find that tutoring is still much needed by many nursing students. The biggest challenge is finding a format that pays you what you're worth as a tutor. Obviously, most nursing tutors don't do it only for the money, but we've got to ...

    HESI questions

    Donaldo11: I don't think that the different schools can automatically see your results unless you took the exam at their school. My experience is based more on the HESI exit exam, though, but I am assuming that the entrance exam would be handled th...

    Pain: prioritized #1 or not?

    If you're prioritizing and thinking in terms of an exam (like NCLEX), my understanding is that pain is always considered a "psychosocial" need. In that way, it would be prioritized after things like nutrition and fluid balance, since those are more ...

    Job availability for nurse educators

    I love your thoughts on the reasons people get into nursing, and the importance of passing on the love of NURSING (not just a flexible JOB) on to students. But I would challenge the idea that the best chance nursing educators have to increase their ...

    Well, No Nursing for Me

    Thought I would throw in my two cents... I think llg put it very well, as did mcmgal. It is not that exit exams are inherently wrong, it is that they are gravely misused by some nursing schools (such as the one mentioned in the article). The exit H...
