Hello Hannah1999.. what words of wisdom can you offer to us that are starting the first semester? I am really interested to know what I can expect. Ik the semester starts in a week but i'm so anxious, nervous and excited that i cant help but ask.

For the NAT i studied all the words in the Elsevier. I also got study guides from the 3rd edition Elsevier. (are they still using edition 4 as the study guide?) I got a 94% when I took it. Also as the semesters go on.. Im told the clinical day increases to 2 days a week. I know there's an online class as well in the other semesters. If you go to the website I think there;s a schedule there. Are you applying for Winter 2019?

Hello, I start the program on the 23rd so I dont know what to expect but I can tell you the classes are 2 days a week with a 1 day clinical. The section that i chose is Tuesdays 9a-2p and Wednesday 11a-4p. With that section my clinical is Thursdays 7a-1:30p (you have to be at your clinical 10 mins early) Then there's the study time which I have no clue. They say you should study 2 hours per credit hour I believe. The entire program works out to be a 38 hour weekly program. I have kids myself but I think as long as you manage your time appropriately and have a good support team AND you want this.. you can do it! Good luck:-)

I'm in!!!! Congrats to everyone!!

@futureRNur I think im going to EMU.. @ SuperNurse2021 I agree with you. They wont tell us anything and I'm almost positive they know who's in or not.. I just want to confidently say IM IN! LOL

The end of March is a bit long for us to wait seeing how we submitted in January.. But whats's everyone doing to keep themselves from thinking about it? Every time I get an alert in my hawkmail im thinking is this it? LOL

Same here! Smh. Maybe next week..

Nope. They are now saying everyone who applied by Jan will hear back by Mid to late March. I just dont understand how they know they need ro extend the dates to fill more spots but are making us wait so long to know if we're in or not!

Well thats great news! I just wished they'd tell us before the end of March! But that makes me fell a little be better. Thanks for the info

That really SUCKS! Sheesh! I'd be upset as well! @ athomas08

LOL! I hope so! The end of March is way more than 4-6 weeks from Jan 29... IJS

That makes sense.. Well guess we'll know at the END of March

Exactly! But that would mean they know NOW who's in right? LOL..

I got that email as well.. May its like you said. Because I was told they accept 120 per semester.. maybe of the people who submitted In jan there werent enough to fill the 120 slots?? IDK.. i am sooo anxious

Oh wow! I hope so because I am really stressed! Waiting for Feb to end! LOL! I wonder why they extended it?

Yes! I asked about the points and she said the higher the better. In the past, there was a rubric that gave point values and applicants were calculating the points wrong. So they decided to keep it all internal. That kinda sucks because we have no way of knowing how many points we have. She did say GPA 3.0 or better is favorable. I dont its all very stressful and it will be hard to wait these next 4-6 weeks. GOOD LUCK to you as well. Maybe we'll be classmates :-)

I submitted Monday as well. I got there at about 930ish.. There was a little more than half a sheet of names there. Kinda freaked me out. Also they dont really tell you how many points you have. The person I spoke with said they keep it all internal AND that we'll know by the END of March! Thats more than 4-6 weeks. :-(

Is everyone thats applying ready? When are you submitting your app? Im going Monday.. SUPER nervous and anxious!

Good luck to those starting the program this semester!

Yes there is a calculator for the math. It also allows you to pick the order of which test you want to take first. SO I took math first (most worried about that), then Vocab,reading and Grammar.

Sure so the math has A LOT of proportions! Get familiar with fractions (there are a lot of multiplying, dividing, adding 3 fraction at a time) I had about 5 or 6 conversion problems. Basically if you can do the math problems in the book you will be fine! Reading comp is one I studied the least because i'm usually pretty proficient with that but for whatever reason i didn't do as well as i usually do so i would study that section in the book. The test asks you questions like "what does the author mean by...?" or "what is the tone of the writer"... things like that. Grammar you need to know subject-verb agreement. Its a lot of what word doesn't or does belong in the sentence. The book is pretty thorough with this section. There was a lot I forgot about in grammar. Vocab was the easiest to me. The questions on the test are almost identical to the book. But if you can get the vocab list from the edition 3 book because some of those words were on the test as well. Google different vocab test just as a way to prepare because there were some words i had no clue what they meant. I hope this kinda helps you.

Heyy! Yes I took the HESI earlier this month. I got a 86 on the math, 80 on reading and grammar and 94 on the vocab. I was a nervous WRECK! Do you have the HESI edition 4? that's what I used to study

HELLO, i PLAN ON APPLYING TO THE 2018 FALL COHORT. WANTED TO SEE HOW MANY OTHERS ARE JUST AS NERVOUS AS I AM. LETS TAKE THE JOURNEY TOGETHER!!

Thanks :-)

Hello, Do you remember how you were scored? I have a 85 over all on the HESI and im a bit worried to be honest.
