I joined the group, Im rusty when it comes to pharmacology and fundamentals. I'm really hoping I can pass and test out of pharm and funds. I have both my textbooks so I'm going to review pharmacology medications tomorrow. And fundamentals the next. Still debating on whether to use UWorld or boardvitals to study. I feel prepared but also nervous because I have a one year old so I'm hoping I don't fail and can keep my head above water.

Your books that you have, quizlet HESI based study questions are enough to pass. This is the method I used. I wouldn’t invest in UWorld unless you really feel you must. But it would be a waste with such little time left before our program begins in October. If you are an LVN, you will be fine with the resources and knowledge you have. Are you in CA?

I'm currently looking into Quizlet HESI . I just want to be sure that I can pass. I'm not sure I can afford all the semesters. I'd rather skip one semester and onto the next. I am in Porterville, California. What about you?

Just dedicate a hour or two a day to brushing up on things you already know. Trust me, the process of elimination is helpful when narrowing down final answers and prioritization is key when picking your answer! ? we have that critical thinking already as nurses. 
 

I’m in the Woodland area, near the capital. Yes, if you pass you’ll graduate early and won’t have to pay for a 15 month program. It’ll be shorter for us by testing out. So give it your best shot & treat it like a exit exam or NCLEX. It save your money on tuition and time on your degree. You got this! Maybe we can team up and go to FL if you test out of both & start psych & MS with me ?

GIRL! DO NOT GO HERE!! I promise you, you will waste a lot of money and time. Before enrolling I read the reviews and chose to ignore them & thought my experience might be different. I was wrong! Believe the reviews, believe the students. This school does not care for the students academic success. So many things wrong with this, they’re unethical, they ignore your emails, they change their policy according to their liking. You don’t get proper learning materials or study guides. This school needs to get shut down. 

Can you share your experience since leaving the school? Did you fail, unenroll from the program? Have you moved on to another program? Were you a nurse prior?

Dude I'm going to try my hardest to pass. I feel like I forgot everything but I'm going to look into HESI Quizlet, funds, pharm, everything I can get my hands on. I am so down to team up. I found having teammates is better and we get done more efficiently. I joined the facebook page that was mentioned earlier. You in the group as well?

I would be down with being teammates. I’m also in the FB Group. I’ll find you & friend request you. We can stay in touch! It’ll all start to come back to you once you start refreshing your memory on common topics we learned in LVN school. Know your interventions as well.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I am studying for AP and I am wondering how deep I should dive into Pharm. I don’t want to spend too much time on any certain topic.

Hi, @Lavender Love I passed my APA last month. 
 

The best I can give to you is to not focus on the meds for pharm, the pharm aspect of the exam is only math. I counted 4 to be exact on my exam; I don’t know what your exam will have. Everyone is not taking the exact same test, as you know it’s given through Evolve (HESI NET) 

 

You must pass all of the math questions to get credit for the pharm course. Anything less, and you’ll be taking pharmacology.

 

brush up on dosage Calc and really dive into fundamentals and interventions, prioritization of patients and tasks. That’s about it and the only advice I have. Treat it like it’s your NCLEX or final exam. Take your time answering. You’ll have about 3 hrs to complete 110 questions. Good luck!

Hi! My friend is a current student at ICHS she is graduating soon. She told me which kind of books she used for Fundamentals and Pharmacology. Actually, I got them on Thriftbooks (used, but in good condition, and very affordable price). I will also start Oct.3rd.
