Hi Everyone!!
I'm ecstatic to be starting nursing school at Chamberlain Pearland location for the Fall. I have completed my HESI exam with an overall score of 87, spoke with an advisor about my classes I will be transferring, and now I'm waiting until the 18th to finish registration and drug test/background check. Is there anyone else joining Chamberlain Pearland for the Fall 2016 or previously joined?? Please feel free to give any advice ranging from what to expect at orientation, first day of class, or essential supplies for your first semester of nursing school.

Exams
nursing exams are different than college exams
talk to your professor
realize that your professor makes the exam so while in nursing the concept "think like a nurse" really means "think like your professor"
