I graduated!

Thank you!

Final update: I graduate this May!

Hey everyone, I know it's been a while but I'd like to update you all on my journey: I was accepted into the nursing program, I'm doing well in my classes, and I'm going to start my first clinicals in a week! Thank you all for your support, advice, and kind words. Hope you're well!

Hi, I'll be starting my first clinicals in one week and I am terrified and unsure of what to really expect. I will be placed in a nursing home. Does anyone have any advice? Thank you so much in advance.

You're absolutely right. Thank you.

Hi, everyone! Please help me? I'm currently a nursing student and am set to start clinicals this Fall. I am thinking about becoming an OR Nurse but I'm unsure on how to go about doing specialties! What steps do I need to take in order to become an OR Nurse? Also, for any OR Nurses, what are your favorite and least favorite things about the job? Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate it! Happy New Year!

Update: I'm academically eligible to attend. I just need a drug screening test and background test.

Hello everyone, Today I took the HESI A2 exam and scored an overall score of 85%. I debated on whether retaking the exam would be a good idea or not, but I decided against it. I am currently a community college student and I intend on transferring into nursing school next semester. My current weighted GPA is 3.07 (my cumulative GPA is somewhere in the high 2.00's), but with these last few classes I'm taking now, I'm hoping my GPA will increase. With all of this in mind, what would you say my chances are in being admitted? Thanks a bunch in advance!

My weighted GPA is much higher. It'll be 3.23 by the time I graduate. My grades are pretty much solid A's and B's. Except the pre-credit math classes and a sociology class I got a C in. I can retake it and boost my GPA to a 3.01, barely making the 3.00 mark. I've been awarded the Honor of Dean's List, too. I can try to do volunteer work at a hospital. Do you think that can improve my chances?

Hi. I'm in a bit of a predicament. So, I'm currently attending community college and I will obtain my Associates in Science degree in the Fall. The thing, though, is my GPA is on the lower side. My GPA will only be a 2.95 by the time I graduate. I've gotten A's and B's in my science classes. The reason my GPA is so low is because when I first transferred, I had to take 2 pre-credit math classes (6 credit hours each), and I failed them with D's. I never had a chance to retake them as the classes aren't offered anymore, so my GPA is stuck. I've really come a long way in regards to math. I got a B in my statistics class! I'm just not sure what my chances really are. A 2.95 GPA is low. I mean, the minimum to apply is 2.75. Most students admitted have 3.30-3.50 GPA. Any advice would be much appreciated. I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Hi, everyone! This is my first post! I have a few questions regarding the HESI A2 Exam. I currently attend community college where I will obtain an A.S. degree. I will finish this Fall, and then transfer into a nursing program where I will obtain a B.S.N. degree. The thing, though, is that before I can transfer into nursing school, I need to take the HESI A2 Exam. My questions are 1) Which workbooks and/or sites can help me prepare for the exam, and 2) Which subjects will be on the exam? Thank you in advance!
