My First Nursing Final

[thatindiangurl]

:DI am taking my first nursing final Tuesday. I am worried about it. I have never really had to study like this before and I don't know how to go about going over all this information. What do you think?

Lordy indiangurl im in the same boat w/ you. I have my first finals the tuesday after next too! I'm hoping our professors will give us some much needy info about what's impt and what not:up:

Does anyone have to take a final called the HESI exam? I have no idea what these things are... I'm freaking out. :/

The HESI is usually an exit exam. It is kinda like the NCLEX it tells you your "likely hood" of passing the NCLEX. Get a good NCLEX book and review it. It shouldn't be over anything that you have not yet learned in school.

Well that's interesting.... lol

Thanks for explaining that for me. :]

I take my first one on Mon. I felt a lot better after I figured out what score I had to get to pass, and get the grade I want. Once I figured that out, it made the whole thing feel more doable. We were given PP lecture notes, so that helps. Just study every section, try to make sure you understand it and not just know it. You were already tested over the info once-so you should know were you are weak, consentrate on those areas. If you have a test break-down, see what is weighted the most (for us it was unit 1 yuck-that stuff was forever ago ) Choose study groups wisely!!! Good Luck!!!
