    Hi ak88, I stopped by the campus bookstore today and there were several books available for semester one which in total cost about $1200. Fortunately most of them were marked "Optional", but there was a "Box of Nursing Books" marked required which c...

    AA to BSN?

    I agree in part and I think the OP is missing many, if not all, of the pre requisites; however, most of the ones you mentioned are required for entry into any of the state funded / 2 year ASN programs in my state. The BSN programs in my area also re...

    Hey Risenlol, Thanks! When do clinicals start? Where are they located? Should I take Med Term. this winter or am I wasting my time? How hard is the first semester really going to be?

    Hey cowboy! Congrats! I haven't exactly asked, but I'm pretty sure screening is part of the process at least initially. I'm thinking that there's no way to get around it since clinical rotations occur in hospitals.

    My classmates using Test Banks in Nursing school

    I know what test banks are, I discovered them awhile back while taking a sociology class over the summer. In this case I used the questions to test my knowlege and understanding. I found them quite useful in this regard. I guess they could be misused...

    Clinical makes me want to quit

    "An opportunity to restore their dignity, to hear their story if they are willing to tell it, to help a family advocate for their loved one, to be (even for just a moment) a loved one if they don't have anybody. NEVER get used to human indignity!! Do...

    How old were you

    Ha! Maybe the question should be: Am I old enough to start nursing school? Just a thought... Seriously though, I have been reading replies to questions just like that from all types of formats for the past two years and there hasn't been a single tim...

    Acute Care CNA Certification?

    Old topic but what the heck. I'm in California and the cc where I got my CNA training also offers an acute care program which is an enhancement on a regular cna license. The program is really difficult to get into because they only take 10 at a time....

    Hi, I think it's too soon to know but I could be wrong and maybe someone else can help you out. I know that the application cohort which applied during the spring had several applicants with the same number of points in the 60th position. In this ca...

    HESI A2 Exam

    If I remember I think my score was about 82 or 84%, this section only has 30 questions so there's not a lot of room for error. It felt as though I had questions from every organ system: bones, muscles, endo/exo, neural (structure, function, and syste...

    HESI A2 Exam

    Hi all, I recently took the Hesi A2 and scored a 94. I received my worst score in the A&P section which was a shock because I'm reasonably strong in A&P and I was expecting my score in this area to be in the high 90s. When I studied for A&am...

    Right? What documents? Don't they already have everything they need? I'm going to send an email and I'll let you know what they say... A couple weeks ago I looked into financial aid in the form of student loans both subsidized and unsubsidized and l...
