   Just because I see it above my comment. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT A SPECIFIC GRADE IN ONE CLASS. Do the HESI and GPA calculation and if you are above 80 score then likely in and if you are above 85 then you can go ahead and start finding hunter green scrubs...

   So most professors make multiple choice questions for FUNDAMENTALS and HEALTH ASSESSMENT and future lecture classes. However, a couple of professors have fill in the blanks but it is the exception not the norm. First PHARMA is math and fill in the bl...

   A previous post mentioned that FUNDAMENTALS book had 50 CHAPTERS and do we do all the chapters. No not all the chapters but quite a bit of them. FUNDAMENTALS has 5 EXAMS and one HESI exam - ALL THE BIG CLASSES HAVE AN EXIT HESI EXAM THAT IS WORTH 5% ...

   Thanks, I think you need humor in nursing school because it is rough. Do not want to scare you all but do want to stress the need to take it seriously and prepare yourself. I started with a large cohort of almost 250 students. I was part of some Intr...

   An odd thing about nursing school, you will love one professor for one class and wish you would have chosen a different one for another class with the same professor. Hanna is popular for Fundamentals but they do not like her for skills. Braide, Crev...

   AVOID TAYLOR, I WOULD EVEN SAY STUDENTS SHOULD BOYCOTT TAYLOR. I did not have her but some friends and many victims did have her. Fundamentals is tricky for many and statistically more fail in her class and then in Stewart but I did know students who...

   So class selection used to be the WILD WILD WEST and people would show up at like at 4 AM to avoid some profs and select some desired professors. But WILD WEST days are ancient history now. They will have an ORIENTATION (boring and useless but most o...

   OK I am feeling generous and enjoying my days off before the start of the next semester. I want to impart more information. Now let me give a general warning that I am cynical, sarcastic, irreverent and always try to game the system. In others words,...

   My score was around that with a 4.0 for the health sciences but I have met classmates with much lower scores. Advisers do not make promises and some are not as informed about the program as you would hope for. Also remember diversity is a major objec...

    People get caught up on "I got a bad grade in this class or I have 2.8 from FIU" and so on but it is a FORMULA. They take all the applications and plug in the numbers and the formula creates a baseline. It is your science gpa of pre-reqs and the hesi...

    Pharmacology math is unique, dimensional analysis, I would suggest looking up videos on youtube and using the lab but all that when the time comes. The first exam is math that is in the HESI exam with some pharmacology abbreviations or terms. For exa...

    Hey Salma Yemmas, they changed the arrive early registration last semester and now are trying to not even allow you to choose professors. I was able to select classes at the end of a boring and useless orientation. Some students struggled registering...

    Hey anxious future nursing students. Some insight from a current student. I personally was admitted for both AC and GN but chose GN. My decision was based on the need to work while I attend school that is not an easy endeavor. I would not recommend a...
