HELPPPP!!!

Hi. I attend CUNY BMCC college and i took the HESI two times and I didnt get in. Suprisingly because of reading comprehension!! The first time I took the HESI, I got 72 in reading comprehension, 88 in anatomy and physiology and 96 in math. BUT they dont accept grades that are 75 and below. It has to 75 and above on each section. I am only allowed to take the HESI twice. and may 26, i took it again and i got 70 in reading comprehension. I didnt even bother to do the math or anatomy and physiology. I cant even say nursing isnt for me becuase i understand anatomy and physiology well. Reading comprehension is really holding me back!!! I cant believe it. And I got accepted in CUNY Hunter college so I dont know what to do. Should i stick to nursing major or what? The problem about the health career field is that you work so hard and then at the end, you take a test which really relies on heavily about our career, and if we dont pass that test then all those efforts we put into for the classes are just a waste. I feel like I am stuck and I have no way to get out. I dont know if i should change my major! I love children and I want to be a teacher as well but the same thing, we have to take a test to get certified and if i dont pass that test then I am doomed. Can i get any advice??? I feel so depressed.

I can't give you specific advise, but wanted to give you support. The same thing almost happened to me. I just barely passed the reading comprehension section of my entrance exam; the next year they raised the minimum score so I would not have gotten in with the same scores. Ironically, I graduated with a 4.0 so the scores do not always accurately predict success or failure. I just happen to read more slowly than normal, I guess.

i hope you find a way to continue on with nursing. Good luck!
