Thank you all. :balloons:

I am studying as hard as I can now. I need to raise my average before I take the final hesi. :uhoh21: Katie

Does your average have any impact on the final HESI or vice versa?

Instead of a final test we take hesi that covers all 2 years of lectures. The "good" thing is that hesi has the same weight as each unit test. So you can get a low score on hesi and still graduate if your average is 78%. If I pull my average up now then I don't have to worry about hesi later. Well, I still want to get a nice score on hesi, though. ;) Katie

Good luck, Katie! :)

Well, I came seconds from having to perform CPR on a man in the lobby of the hospital. I walked in for clinical a little early, and I heard, "Someone call someone."

I realized I was the only one in scrubs in the whole lobby!!

I asked what happened, and assessed him. He was unresponsive, not breathing, and had no pulse. I was just about to start CPR when a Dr ran up and asked if he had a pulse.

I told him no. The Dr did a double check to make sure he didn't detect a pulse for about a second or two, and immediately started CPR. Then later, he started vomitting, and I had to help them turn the pt to his side.

....They also had to use my scissors to cut open the AED pad package. ;)

I feel bad for that man (I don't know what his outcome was), but I'm proud of myself for knowing what to do, and not being too nervous to do it! I always wondered if I would know what to do if I ever was in that situation.
