Hi all! I'm a student who just finished first semester in the nursing program. We have a FB page set up for you guys who get in to help you navigate through your first semester. We can offer you answers to questions, study tips and tricks etc...this was done for us and helped many to successfully complete their first semester. Let me know if you are interested.

I'm so sorry you didn't get in. Don't give up! For anyone who does get in, we have a FB page set up for you. I am one of the admins and have completed first semester. Several of us wanted to help you guys navigate your first semester with tips, answers to questions, study tricks etc....This was done for us and helped many of us succeed through a difficult semester. Hope we can help you too. Let me know if you are interested.

Well let us know how it goes. Are you trying to apply by February 15?

It's a cumulative score...when do you take it?

I honestly don't remember much about the chemistry portion. I did well on it but studied a lot for it. What has caused you to be stuck on that part?

There was really no one thing that prepared me better than another. But I think doing a variety of questions...and a lot of them was what helped. I did study the book well but the test was more in depth than the book. But start with the review book. Pay special attention to math and grammar and vocab. I think the book was most helpful there Anatomy was more in depth in the test. Multiple questions on the urinary system especially. Biology and chemistry was pretty basic so the book should help you there too. Then do as many practice questions you can. There are multiple free ones online. When are you taking the test?

I used the Elsevier HESI test prep book and every online practice test I could find. I also used the Hesi prep app and bought the full version. I practiced questions everyday and studied last year over Christmas break for about a month. I would spend hours a day reviewing and practicing. Some have done it with much less study but I knew I wanted a high grade.

It just depends on the semester. They award points for your grades and HESI. The highest scores get the spots until they are gone. Most students this semester have A's and B's in everything and above an 82 on HESI, all pre-reqs and most but not all co-reqs. But last semester I didn't get in with a 4.0 and a 95 on the HESI but was missing one co-req. So it just depends....

It is not for Tidewater. All other subjects are included. Ask any other questions!

I think you'll be fine. This semester it seems those stats will get you in. When I applied last semester with a 4.0 and 95 on the HESI but lacking bio 142 and 150 I didn't get in. I think they are taking quite a few additional people this semester.

I changed the name of the FB group to Tidewater community college spring 2020 nursing students. Let's join up and begin getting to know each other!

Sorry I still can't find it. Can you invite me? My FB profile is David Christy Walker

The link isn't working for me. What did you name the group and I'll search for it.

That's a great idea. I'm good with combining.
