1. Competitive GPA

   IdrisSedai replied to Ty96's topic in General Students

   At my school, you pretty much have to have straight As in all prerequisites to be competitive. From there they look at HESI and prior degrees to determine acceptance. My school only accepts 30 per campus though.

2. The Major Diseases Nursing Students/Nurses Should Know?

   IdrisSedai replied to rileowski's topic in General Students

   This is a difficult question to answer. My school has students assigned to several different floors for clinicals, so we all get a different experience. I was on a cardiac telemetry floor. I needed to know NSTEMI and STEMI pretty well, along with CAB...

   IdrisSedai replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   I'm working a full time job and a part time job (one shift a week) while in my first semester of nursing school. I've only had one exam so far- 100 NCLEX questions- and I made a 96%. I'm able to do it by cutting out basically all social life. I don'...
