Okay it is a long time until the letters go out and we are all wondering if our HESI score was good enough. So let's be silly and play detectives and see if we can get an idea of where we stand.
For 1000 students with around 30 seats per room, there was around 34 classes.
1. Greent52389- 1/7/09, Rm 130, 81.73 average
2. Shannonmarie7- 1/7/09, Rm 115, 81.75 average

Repy with your test date, number of the room you were in, and the average score from your class and I will update this page to see what some of the overall class averages are.
I enjoyed reading some of your comments in the last thread about the Hesi; you got a little fire in you and you seem to balance it with compassion for others. Just don't lose your fire:)
Your right though in the end they (cheaters) will hurt themselves and unfortunately in the nursing profession they could end up hurting someone else.
I always jot down notes before I take a test if I can. I get so nervous when I take a test; I'm usually the last one to leave. I just finished A and P, and I was so thankful my instructor had an essay section, so I could jot notes down. I hate those test were they give you a scantron only. Another reason I jot down notes is because I too can just blank out. Towards the end of the exam I felt a bit brain dead. I had to write down some of the reading comp. stuff; just so I could think it through:)
I think our proctor must have had some bad experiences with cheaters:)
Do you have other nursing school options or is MCC the place for you?
I'm hoping that for the professions sake that the cheaters bomb in the pre-req stage and never make it to the actual program. I definitely think that he had some bad experiences or they beat into his head to catch cheaters if he sees them. I am currently a Baker student with 3 more classes to go before I can take the NET test there and apply for Fall 09' or worst case Spring 10'. I would love to go to MCC but I do not think that I have a chance because I have a lower GPA than most that applied. MCC is taking my last 18 credit hours from Baker which is Micro, A&P 2, Oral Communication and Intro Algebra. I am thinking best case scenario for me is Baker Spring 2010. At Baker they give you an extra point if you do not make it the first semester that you apply so I will have all the high people that did not make it the first time to go up against, which is tough for a first time applicant to beat unless you have a 4.0 and a great NET score. If that doesn't work I am off the HFCC to get my pre-reqs done and get on the wait list.
I used to be that way (not cheating, but being a cutthroat *****), but I've learned that you can step on as many people as possible and STILL not meet your goal. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if karma has bitten me in the butt for being a jerk sometimes. What goes around, comes around, as they say. I don't like what the competition of the nursing program has brought out in people; really ugly things. If they're going to dump on people in attempts to get what they want, it really makes me wonder how these people are going to be as nurses.
Hmm...I don't think you are cut throat, you have always been helpful on the board.:)
I really enjoyed most of my classes until I hit the end science classes. I was in Micro and a lot of the class was comprised of students that were in their last semester before application. It just seemed like some were mean to other students, and would make snappy comments if someone asked a question they thought were stupid or asked to be repeated. Everyone has a right to clarify something, I would hate to get a question wrong on a test because I was to intimidated to speak up in class.
I agree with you on how some people are going to be nurses because it is part of the job to be compassionate, I sure as heck do not want to be a patient of a cranky nurse. I had been around chemo patients for half of my career in the medical field and you really realize when you are around patients that are dying how important being a nice person with compassion is. In school nobody wants to help anyone else, most of the students have a me, myself, and I attitude. I may have helped my "competition" get ahead when they asked for my help in class, and maybe in the end helping them made it possible to take my spot somewhere, but at least I know that I did the right thing. God has a place for me somewhere in life, and I have faith that I will be where I need to be in the end. Maybe not a nurse like I would love to be, but where ever I am destined to be, and you know what.....I'm okay with that!! I have already set myself up to be denied at MCC, so now I am getting ready to do my best at Baker in the next 2 semesters.

I think you have an excellent chance at getting into nursing school. Whether you get in fall 09 or 10, you will make it for sure. You seem to be a very kind and intelligent person, and there are always good things waiting for people like you. Always :)
Toxicshock,

Never! *cracks a whip*
Thank you all for the kind comments. I didn't make my post with the intention of fishing for compliments, but I appreciate them none the less! :heartbeat

Toxic Shock, You have always been so nice and helpful on this board, and I have appreciated all of your comments and help. Everyone is correct in what they are saying about being cut throat and cheating. IT WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE!!! I have always believed in what you put out, is what you get back in. So if I can help you I will. By helping someone doesn't mean that we have let them have a better chance, it only means that we are compassionate and care for others. Hummm, I think that is what a nurse is supposed to be. (My mother was an ER nurse for 28 years, I watched her go through schooling and I watched her at work...She was choosen as the best nurse in her hospital, why, because she cared and helped everyone...At her funeral, so many co-workers came up to me and praised my mother for all the help she gave them back in school and at work, and how they wouldn't have made it without her. It is sad that she gone so young in life, because I know there was much more people could have learned from her. But I know this, She was pure class and I only pray that I can have a 1/4 of that class in me.)
Shannonmarie,
You are also correct when you say, God has a place for you, HE DOES...I am reading James and Hebrews and living with the faith that HE will put me where he wants me. I WANT to be a nurse, but I know that only by HIS will, will I get there. I figure that I will apply for surg tech, resp ther. and RN and go with which ever one opens for me. I know in my heart that RN is out, because at Baker I only have a 3.8 gpa and received a 76% on the NET (plus I lost a point when my mother got sick and I dropped a class, before it even started, to take care of her) and at Macomb, I have a 3.82gpa and only received a 88% on the HESI, so my chances are very slim. I figure that if I make it into resp. ther. that I will go through that, then go forward after for RN. Just more time that it will take. That is okay, my walker and I will do just fine going across the stage one day...:chuckle
Sorry for such a long post, but I do believe for all of us, we will get THERE!!!
I seriously don't understand those that don't want to help out others. My self worth doesn't come from just scoring higher or being first. I really enjoy seeing someone else do well, if I helped them there then that is a small success for me too.

OK Gemberly, here is your chance to help out a fellow student! I am taking the Hesi at SC4 tomorrow. I remember you scored 100% on reading comprehension. Do you have any advice?

ToxicShoc,
I can't imagine you being cut throat; most of your posts seem so very gracious. You'll make a great nurse with the spirit you are walking in now:)
Good Luck to You,
