Published

Hello everybody I am done with all prerequisites and I have an Associates degree in science. I took the hesi last month and I got math 84, reading comprehension 86, grammar 74 and anatomy 88. I was devastated because i couldn't get in the spring semester by 1 point :mad:...I plan to take vocabulary part any hints on that section? and How can I improve my grammar score? I''l be applying for the fall semester:).. I will retake hesi next month and I open this thread for us fall 2011 hopefuls.. :yeah:

good luck :D

I can't give any advice on the HESI because we don't have to take it until we one semester into the program. But I'm a Fall 2011 hopeful! I'm doing the BSN program, and in the Spring I will finish the last 4 of my pre-reqs. My GPA isn't the highest, but its high enough to get into the nursing program at my school and I have all As at mid-term which should bring it up even higher :D:yeah:My advisor keeps telling me I have nothing to worry about that I will be able to get in without a problem but until I get that letter telling me I'm accepted at the beginning of March I will be waiting on the edge of my seat!

I'm thinking that I would like to get into ob/perinatal...I love pregnancy and babies:heartbeat. I don't (think) I want to be a delivery nurse, I'm thinking more along the lines of postpartum care for the mother and nursery care for the infants. But who knows, I could get into clinical and completely change my mind:confused:, lol.

Prinscheather: Good to know.. what school are you applying to?

Eharper: That sounds awesome. I want to work with babies too, I think that's why I want NICU. My boyfriend thinks that I should choose something else because most of the babies are in critical situation.. Like you said maybe after clinicals we change our minds:confused:

I am going to a tiny little college in Springfield, MO. Its called Cox College, its attached to the biggest hospital in my city. It has its faults like every other college, but since its not well known its easy to get into.

Lovesunshine-

For the HESI vocab. what worked for me was making Flash Cards from the Study guide! I would write the definition and the example sentance. I not only used all the vocab from the "Vocab List" but also from the Vocab. tests in the study guide. I think I had something like 100 vocab cards from the study guide. It was a pain, but I ended up doing well on the Vocab section so I guess it was worth it. Good Luck to you!!

Noel1221:Thank you so much! I will make flashcards lol.. For what school did you take the test? Where are you applying? What about grammar?

Just talked with the school, they said that my application is with faculty. The guy told me that it's usually there for 2 days and then they let my admissions counselor know the decision and then he will contact me. So it could be any day now that I will know! I've been going insane with checking the mail the last week because he told me two weeks (it's now been 3). I will be so relieved to know, regardless if it's good or bad. Not only am I going insane but I'm also driving my husband insane as well, lol. Has anyone heard ANYTHING from their schools yet?

I'm also a Fall 2011 hopeful! I'm at the midway point of the semester with Micro and A&P1 and I'm doing well in them. I don't have any advice on the HESI as I had to take the TEAS, but I did well on it. My lab partner in Micro just got accepted into the nursing school and we have the exact same TEAS score, so she's giving me hope- plus, I've heard it helps alot to have a friend the semester ahead of you. I won't find anything out until the beginning of March, so I'll likely be going crazy until then. :)

I just wanted to drop in and say "HI" to all the other fall 2011 hopefulls :) I am from OK and we dont have any special tests at our college. We go by a points system. Your GPA ans ACT count for so many points as well as college classes already take that are on the pre req's list. The average number of points last year for those accepted were between 42-59. After I graduate with my allied health degree in december I will have 52 points. Our applications are due on Feb 1st. I am really looking forward to joining the ranks of student nurses. :)

Good Luck to all those that are making applications this year!
