    HESI A2 Exam?

    Apple-Core replied to Transfer_Student's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    What will be on your HESI exam depends on the nursing college expectations. Where I live they ask for math and English. English is broken down into vocab, grammar and reading comprehension. You then...

    Pheeeeeeeeeeew! I took the HESI today. Wow, that is a long exam. At least for me, because I took your advice and took my time. I started to panic a bit when half an hour had gone by and I'd only done...

    What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Apple-Core replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL Reminds me of when I was changing my kiddo's diaper (many years ago now!)....held her legs up to wipe and she blasted me, literally from head to toe. I just stood there in shock. My glasses were...

    successfully doing sciences over the summer

    Apple-Core replied to PrereqTaker89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P is something that will be used almost every day in a nursing career. It is not a class I would suggest taking on a crash course of 6 weeks. That's very

    I agree! That was my point too......too many sciences at once can just fry the mind! I'm currently taking Microbiology, Pathophysiology and Chemistry. It's not

    Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    Apple-Core replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I personally experienced what I would consider "birth violation". I'm not sure I'd call it rape, but it traumatized me for a long time. The irony was, with my first birth I had the whole medical...

    Caregiver taking naked picture of patient

    I would confront the relative directly and ask what they are doing. There are very few scenarios I can think of where taking pics of a relative's private areas are necessary. This seems very sketchy...

    Apple-Core replied to furmama16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    12 credits is a full load, 16 is the absolute max I would suggest, and that's really pushing it...12 is much better. That will keep you busy, believe me! I did 16 one semester because I was desperate...

    You're still so young, this is just a stumbling block. Go talk to your MD and get on something to help control your anxiety. Give yourself some breathing space, then get back to

    Are you talking about pre-reqs? I took 12 credits a semester, and worked fulltime, but my classes were online so I could work at night. Once my "in person" classes start, I'll quite work or maybe work...

    Being Managed By Someone Younger

    Your GPA is fantastic! You can re-sit the HESI if you'd like to improve your score. You have 2 chances every 12 months, as long as you have a 60 day wait in between the exams. I'm taking my first one...

    I did both A&P I and II online. It was tough going, because you are entirely self-led (obviously) and I missed the "real-time" discussions and instant answers from the tutor. Having said that, it...
