6. NCLEX vs Class Exams

   vervain replied to ladytopaz's topic in General Students

   I lOVE lippencott's!! I have to say though, that the HESI isn't made up by the professors. It's a different company... anyway - I guess that each and every one of us is going to have to start an organization so that future nursing students don't ha...

7. NSNA have you gone?

   vervain replied to vervain's topic in General Students

   I guess I'll be going if I can get the money- We are trying to get it from SGA... but it's a little late to be starting! I lived in Salt Lake for years, so I'm thinking of trying to sublet for the week. The bus system isn't great but there are some ...

   vervain replied to vervain's topic in Career Support

   "I think you should talk to your nursing advisor. She should be able to answer your questions. Maybe your school has such a class also? Your school must have some way of informing their students on these issues." What nursing advisor?? We don't real...

    Hey all - I'm in my 3rd semester for my associates. I feel like I don't get any direction from professors and that most other students are just trying to pass the exams (just like me). I'm wondering where I can get straight forward information on ...

12. info on HESI test

    vervain replied to LonRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If I were you, I wouldn't decide on a program because they give this test and it is a required part of your classes. I have had to take it each semester and i think that it is relatively easy to prepare for and a good prep for the NCLEX. There are ...

13. NCLEX vs Class Exams

    vervain replied to ladytopaz's topic in General Students

    I hear you. I'm in my 3rd semester (for assoc) and my professor literally told the entire class yesterday that we were all going to do very badly on the next exam. I'm amazed. It seems as if we are paying to be treated as if we were pledges at a s...

    I just finished my OB rotation. It was amazing. All of the students during the roatation got a lot of hands on experience. Just remember to eat a good breakfast! I was amazed at how exhausted I was from watching a birth.
