1. Q's about Hesi A2 critical thinking portion !

   MarkMw replied to bobo21's topic in HESI

   Make sure first that this section is going to be included on your exam. The university that required it of me no longer uses this section. But it is very basic material that would be covered in an intro to nursing (fundamentals) course, and this does...

2. What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

   MarkMw replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

   I don't think there is a "nursing for dummies" but you could look for an old copy of a Nursing Fundamentals text. Try borrowing from local libraries to save money. Or "Nursing Fundamentals DeMystified", which is probably the closest there is to a nur...

3. What can I do to be productive while waiting to get into Nursing program?

   MarkMw replied to TiffanyMcNurse2b's topic in General Students

   One of the schools I applied to has Pathophysiology as a "recommended" course to take beforehand, so I'm taking that. It serves as a good A&P review (which others mentioned) in addition to the obvious beneficial new material. I'm also developing ...

4. Q's about Hesi A2 critical thinking portion !

   MarkMw replied to bobo21's topic in HESI

   I just took this exam. I got an 870 on the critical thinking (equivalent to an 87%) - good enough, but lower than what I got on anything else. I'm really confused about this section. It was entirely questions where you are a nurse and what would you ...

5. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

   MarkMw replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS

   1) I'm kind of a slow reader myself. But you get several questions for each passage, so the reading time *per passage* is not that much. I didn't run into time issues on that section in any practice test or the real test. Do as many practice test que...

   Correct. I don't have any of those memorized and I got 98 overall score.

7. How do I explain to my snobby family why nurses are important and worthy of respect?

   MarkMw replied to Miss Infermiera2b's topic in General Nursing

   Ugh. I'm making the leap from a different, well-paying profession. Family & friends give me nothing but support and respect for my decision. Other nurses I know are excited to see me cross over. One of my specialist physicians, who sits on hospit...

8. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

   MarkMw replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS

   Oh, and I believe questions are worth 2/3rds points each, regardless of which section they are in. Earlier posters seemed confused about this.

9. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

   MarkMw replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS

   I took mine yesterday. I scored 98% - big thanks to rainbow's amazing post. I could not have put together anything remotely like that. Nearly 2 years later, and the original post is still great guidance. Like others have said, go through all the mate...
