  3. RCGC HESI test help?!?

  4. RCGC HESI test help?!?

    I am a second semester student in the program. I found the Pocket Prep app to be great as well as the elesevier review book sold in the book store. (They have it cheaper on Amazon) I also took the 4...
  5. Grade appeal please help!!!!!

    When you ask for people's opinions....you get just that..THEIR OPINIONS. If you wanted people to just tell you what you wanted to hear, you should've requested that. You are blindly asking on a forum...
  6. Readmission request help

    I think this is great. May just be typos but first paragraph you have conductive instead of conducive. Second paragraph you left out the word "have" when discussing what you are having issues with. I...
  7. The Q&A success series of books put out by Davis (amazon and barnes and noble) give great, in depth rationales. They have books for each topic you will cover in school. They are very helpful. Your...
  8. Readmission request help

    I would also spend more time discussing why you are ready and prepared to take on the challenge if you get the opportunity as opposed to spending time on why you did not succeed the first time. The...

    You can upload them directly from the ipad pro. Easy
  10. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    That is the exact set up I use and it is working for me. I send all of my powerpoints to Notability and use the Apple Pencil to write notes on the slides. Faster than taking notes in a notebook. I...
  11. My school does not allow us to use a medical diagnosis either. My clinical instructor requires us to do a care plan each week in clinical. (Just finished first semester). Other instructors in the...
  12. How old were you

    I just completed my first semester of nursing school and I am 48. I am not the oldest in the cohort by many years! I have plenty of years to put my degree to work for me so it is never too late! I...
  13. Rowan at Gloucester County (HESI)

    Hi! I am just starting the Regular ADN nursing program at RCGC. We just had orientation last week. As long as you got the min. required scores for each section and you have good pre-req grades, I...
  14. HESI Deadline for spring enrollment

    I would check with your school directly. My school only accepts scores from their testing center. No Exceptions. Good
  15. HESI a2 Math section

    That is correct. One thing I recommend is doing the problems twice. The calculator seems to stick a bit and the HESI is notorious for having the correct answer as well as the possible wrong answers...
  16. Prerequisites more than 10 years?

    My program allows you to take the CLEP test if you took certain pre-reqs more than 5 years ago. If you pass it then you do not have to repeat the course and you test out of it. I know a girl who...
  17. Too much??

  18. HELP! Struggling on AP class

    I found a professor on youtube who lectured from my exact textbook. He was much clearer than my professor. Search your textbook in youtube and see if you get lucky. Was very helpful to me. Got an
  19. Hello Micro!

    I took Micro as a hybrid but it was the same teacher. I was dreading it as I am a nontraditional student and not sure how I felt about the online environment. I had A's in A&P 1-2 but they were...
  20. Hesi grammar help!!!!

    I took a prep course for the Hesi and the instructor had to use SAT prep materials for the grammar because there wasn't really any materials she could use. You may want to look into that route. Pocket...
  21. Honestly I don't remember if the exact questions were on my exam but remember feeling like the app helped me greatly. The topics it covered were definitely on the exam. It keeps track of your progress...
  22. I would recommend the Hesi Pocket Prep app and the Hesi review book by elsevier. I am strong in grammar yet that section was incredibly hard so don't be too hard on yourself. I did not have to test in...
