1. HESI accurate predictor for NCLEX??

   ThAiTiGeR replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in NCLEX

   I guess everyone's experience is different. I took my boards on Saturday, I am eagerly awaiting the results, but I found it much more difficult then the HESI. I got an 1000 on the exit HESI by the way. Prepare well for the NCLEX and good luck.

   I'm not sure about the HESI requirement, that was implemented after I got in, but I do know you have to submit an application before anything. The next step is to get approval for taking Pharm (and I assume to take the HESI as well). Once you pass ...

   It's going great, I don't want to steer away your focus from Fundamental, but trust me, when you make it to this course, it's a whole new ballgame. I don't mean that in a bad way, and you've probably already heard all the horror stories, but pay the...

   I second that!! An RN is an RN, not an RN UT or RN HCC. We all have to take and pass the same national boards. As for HCC, I have nothing but great things to say about their program. Is it perfect, well, whose is, but as long as we get to our com...

   I agree with their orientation being a bit unorganized, but they give you information packets and the opportunity to ask any questions you need. Their program is not perfect, but IMO a very solid one. The instructors are highly experienced, knowled...

   The wait was not long at all for me, once I finished my prereqs I got in the following semester, keep in mind though, the better your grades of course, the better your chances. If you plan to attend HCC, make sure you have all, and I mean all the pr...

    Thank's for the great info TraumaNurse. I too fall in the same scenario of having poor grades early in school, but now I have a 3.8 in my nursing courses with only a few months left. I plan to get my BSN, with stellar grades of course, and enter th...

    You might want to look into your nursing school's Master's program as some of them offer an RN-MSN in three years or less. Good Luck, and your age has nothing to do with obtaining your dreams, it's your drive!
