1. Is this common in an RN program???

   VetTechingWasEasier posted a topic in Pennsylvania

   I went to an LPN to RN program. 1st year, did practical nursing jobs...patient care, meds, reports. Next year, the "RN" year, it was a touch of med/surge, some clinpath and a WHOLE lot of theory. Capstones capstones capstones till you scream. I ha...

   I already have my Micro taken care of... I was wondering what "mandatory" classes they start in for 2nd year?

3. Anyone in their 2nd year at CCP?

   VetTechingWasEasier posted a topic in Pennsylvania

   I'm planning to take my LPN program certificate to CCP and apply for accellerated admission. I'll be taking care of whatever prerequisites my academic advisor tells me that I still need, this fall and next spring. (Like Dietary class and LPN-RN tra...

6. Hesi Exit Test

   VetTechingWasEasier replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI

   Woah. Tell you what,... If your school requires a score of 1000, and more than half of the class still manages to pass (WITHOUT spending hundreds of dollars on outside tutoring) , what can I say, sounds like the kind of school I wish I went to! Li...

7. Hesi Exit Test

   VetTechingWasEasier replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI

   Don't let the staff intimidate you. When it comes down to it, they're all very much accountable for the program they run, and if what they're saying was truely policy, it'd be in writing somewhere. They are just scared for their jobs because if too...

9. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

   VetTechingWasEasier replied to VetTechingWasEasier's topic in New Jersey

   I'm sorry, I was so busy ranting that I didn't answer your question! The only ADN program I know of that doesn't require a "Do or Die" exit exam, is Del Tech in Georgetown, DE. NY nursing schools, do not require a HESI, but they do require a ver...

10. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to VetTechingWasEasier's topic in New Jersey

    More and more nursing schools nationwide are jumping on the HESI bandwagon, because it artificially raises their ranking through finding a new and creative way to make sure that students who won't pass the NCLEX on the first try, don't even get to si...

11. Hesi Exit Test

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI

    As a matter of fact...the HESI has another purpose, according to their own web site. It's other purpose is to make sure that schools are actually teaching a proper curriculum. How many of us were missing questions on the HESI that were about subjec...

12. Hesi exit exams

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to iwilldothis's topic in New Nurse

    Isn't that a screwed statistic, pretty much having the students take another version of the NCLEX and only let whoever "passes" sit again? that's like me having a Marathon Running School. I guarantee that YOU can run 26 miles after you graduate!!!! ...

13. Hesi Exit Test

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI

    Is anyone from a nursing school that ties your HESI score to a grade in a specific class? In mine, we have a 10-credit hour MedSurg class that if you fail the HESI 3 times, you get a 10 credit F added to your transcripts. To reapply to the program,...

14. Hesi Exit Test

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI

    According to the HESI website, the test is also made to put the school's curriculum to the test, to see if it's truely preparing the students for the boards. I myself came from a nursing school where 60% of the students passed the HESI and were a...

15. Is the salary of an LPN even Worth the trouble of going to school??

    VetTechingWasEasier replied to Tony1790's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    My LPN year was going smooth, I was even enjoying it, until 2nd semester I started hitting serious money problems. If my family didn't pull through for me when they did, I would've probably quit to start working full time again, rather than let my c...
