I just took the HESI entrance exam this weekend at HCC coleman and I am really angry about the test.
They put a brand new section on the test called: Critical Thinking. They never gave us any information on this new section when we are registering for it. The section was filled with questions like a patient is peeing blood and another is hallucinating because alcohol intoxication and two other not so important patients. So the question ask you which one is most important? well I never had any experience working in hospitals and not to mention the rest of the students taking that test, but I thought I will give it my best. I started to think if you don't get to the bloody pee patient she might die due to kidney failure, but what if the drunk moron start a rampage in the hospital or do something harmful to himself or others? You see what I am talking about? I can't believe they put a section full of these kind of questions. I don't have any problems with HCC before and I loved Dr. Schwartz's Biology class. But this really ****** me off, it made me felt like got picked on by a bully and I am powerless to fightback. I studied really hard, spend lots of time got good grades all other sections which are A&P, math, reading, grammar. (if this is the old test I won't have any problem to pass it at all!) I was wondering did the nursing school chair used his or her critical thinking before he or she decide to put it on the test????????
But ohhhh do I have something much better for you! When I was on the Critical Thinking section question 26, all of the sudden the entire computer testing system went hay-wire! all the computers froze and won't take any clicks on the answers. The IT guy called up monkeys at HESI asking what the heck is going on... well, after he log us out and back in again he says the problem should be gone, but noooooooooooooo computers still not taking anything!!!! so, they tell us we can't take the test anymore hahahahahaha(sarcasim) and we have to sign our name on a piece of paper so they can contact us later... don't know what's gonna happen now. This is really messed up. In all of its wisdom, HCC... sigh....:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:
I have been checking Lonestar college on line which is in north harris county and I think you should go to their website and read about their program and classes.
I think I read you can get into pharmacology if you have A&P I and II done but if you want to get in in the summer you probably need to hurry and look this up.
JinJin, I'm sorry you didn't get in this time but I'm thinking there is a chance you still might. There are probably a lot of students who don't want to go in the summer and may opt out, this would leave some empty seats.
^thanks I will try. I am thinking maybe it's because my score is too low... and I still can't completely trust them that they don't look at the Critical Thinking section, and thanks to glitched test I can't even finish that section and I can't go back to that section to finish it. I am thinking about visiting them tomorrow morning to see my other options and what I can do to make things better.
