2. Who's at fault here?

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

   Sorry I've been MIA for a couple days. I've been studying! LOL! To answer a bunch of people's questions, it's not the bottom of the class in this situation. There are a couple of magna cum laude's in this miserable boat. I'm like right in the middle ...

3. Who's at fault here?

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   So about a quarter of the graduating class at my school didn't reach the 925 benchmark for the Exit Hesi...TWICE. Who's to blame? The school for not adequately preparing people? Hesi for not providing a good test? Or us, because it is possible that w...

4. Yep, I failed the HESI

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in HESI

   No I didn't pass it the second time and now my school is holding my degree hostage until I get the score they want me to get. I got an 868 the second time around so I've hired a private tutor. Hopefully that helps....

5. Nursing School makes me feel dumb

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out. I took my exit Hesi today, to graduate my school requires 925, and I failed it....for the second time. My score is basically the same- 863 vs 868. I subleased my apartment for the summer so I have ...

6. Yep, I failed the HESI

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in HESI

   Thanks for responding! Your encouragement was really needed. I actually take the test again on FRIDAY so I'm freaking out! I've been doing what you suggested above so that's at least a good sign! I guess I'm just gonna walk into that test and hope fo...

7. Yep, I failed the HESI

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in HESI

   Hi everyone. So yeah, like a whole bunch of the lovelies on here, I failed my exit. I got an 863 and I had to benchmark at 925. I'm really bummed. I got all of the math questions right, but the questions I got wrong were ones that were ones I legit...

8. Working nights as a new grad?

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   Hey all! I just got into a residency program and the way it works is that I follow a preceptor and then transition to a full-time night shift position. This is the way it's done regardless of the department. Just wondering if you guys had an ideas w...

9. What should I be doing before the NCLEX?

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

   Yeah I mean that is what I figured. I doubt I'll be able to even secure a job. I have a month before the NCLEX but I'm worried of being caught up in a new job during that month instead of studying.

10. What should I be doing before the NCLEX?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, I want to start this out with a disclaimer. I love my parents to pieces. Seriously. They rock. But, they are not nurses and really have no experience in the nursing world so they know little about it. This isn't something they like to admit, but ...

11. Is this really worth it?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering if all of this is really worth it? Nursing school is super hard emotionally, physically, psychologically. I feel like every day I am being tested and it is exhausting. I know that I could easily be doing something else, but I really do...

12. Encouragement?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey all. So I've been having a better semester. I've been getting A's which is a real shocker and I've been happy. Last semester really kicked my butt and I was sad and depressed for months. Finally things have been looking up. Until today. Today I n...

13. Internship on a Trauma Unit

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in Psychiatric

    Hey guys! I'm a student (BSN) and I just got a phone call from one of the psych hospitals in my area saying that they accepted my application and I'm going to be working there as an intern this summer! Yay! The unit that I'm assigned to is the Psychi...

14. Drunk and high students at clinical

    PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    So I looked in our student handbook and there are no guidelines for what students are supposed to do if they see any of this sort of thing going on. Literally, we have no guidelines. The CI is supposed to notice it and I don't think she did. These gi...

15. Drunk and high students at clinical

    PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I was just so freaked to see people show up like that to clinical that I didn't know what to do. I'm new at this whole nursing thing so I just had no clue as to what to do. I hope the nurses on the unit noticed. This isn't sour grapes, but ...
