Hey guys, anybody else seeing this post, we have the facebook group for your cohort up and running! About 3/4 of the class is in it now. It's called Beth-El Accelerated Cohort 21.
Hi everybody. Congratulations on getting accepted! I'm a current student in the 3rd of 4 semesters in UCCS's ABSN program. I remember being so curious after getting into the program to find out information, and the school really doesn't give you anyt...
Hi! Just wondering if anyone else received acceptance/waitlist letters for UCCS's (in Colorado Springs) accelerated BSN program starting in May 2020. Hoping to meet some classmates before it starts! If anyone is currently in the program or has attend...

Hey, glad my content has been helpful! If I had to break down the things that helped my score by percentage, they would be as follows: 40%-Pocket Prep App 40%-The HESI A2 Prep book made by Elsevier 20%-Previous knowledge from my classes in college an...

RDHtoRN-good luck with your program, too ? I currently work full time in the emergency room as an EMT and part-time at a fire department. My plan is to just be part-time at the hospital during the program (two 12 hour shifts a week). I work with two ...

I bet your dental background will still help a lot with patient interactions and such! ? I got the facebook group started. Here's the link: https://m.facebook.com/groups/792215147923614?group_view_referrer=profile_browser

It would be awesome to meet up before school starts! Has anyone else worked in healthcare before? I've been an EMT for 3 years in hospital and pre-hospital settings. One of my current EMT coworkers was also accepted into this program! Would you all b...
Hey everyone! I just finished taking my HESI A2 today for UCCS's (in Colorado Springs) Accelerated BSN program. The exam included every category except physics. I'm curious how other people who are applying to accelerated programs did on the exam and...

The study guide I used was edition 4, and I haven't seen any newer editions than that! The questions will vary on each person's exam, of course, but I believe the study guide and the question app help cover most of the topics that will be on the test...
alpinegirl replied to Guest1007726's topic in HESI
Almost all of my questions were geared toward asking which version of a sentence out of four options was correct. For example, some used the wrong pronouns, incorrect subject-verb agreement, commas in the wrong places, and other such grammatical erro...

I unfortunately do not know of any programs that require what you are asking, but I have another potential option for you. Many community colleges are very easy to enroll in without any previous transcripts, application fees, or anything. Is it possi...

I live in Colorado, and this is the research I did when applying to schools. As I was unable to move out of state, Colorado schools are the only ones I'm familiar with, but I'll give you the information on those if you're interested! (Information is ...
alpinegirl replied to rose_quartz's topic in Pre-Nursing
Are you willing to move to other states? There are absolutely programs out there that have minimum GPAs of 2.5 or 2.75. Keep in mind, meeting the minimum isn't a guarantee, but if you have good grades in your pre-requisite courses and do well on the ...

I think of a lot of it depends on your strength in math. Both Chemistry and Stats can be pretty math-heavy. If you struggle with mathematical concepts, I would separate Chemistry and Statistics. I also agree with the above posters saying taking two l...

This book was amazing! Along with the pocket prep app, I felt very well-prepared for the exam and barely had to open old textbooks. What school(s) are you applying to?
alpinegirl replied to Millirockstarr's topic in Pre-Nursing
Hi, I'm in a very similar situation, so I wanted to throw in my experience. I completed my Associate's Degree with a 3.8 and my Bachelor's with a 3.2. The majority of the pre-requisites for the school I applied to for my ABSN were completed with As o...
Hey Faith, Sorry it took a little while to get back to you; I've been finishing up finals this week for my last few pre-requisites. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone from the program you're referring to. I haven't been able to find a thread yet for ...
Hi Faith! Thank you! When do you take your exam? What sections are included on yours so I can give more specific tips? The first thing I used to study was the following book. It is made by the same company that makes the actual exam, so you will see ...
Hey, this question was from a little while ago, but I'm trying to answer some questions about the HESI since I took it today, and the information is still on my mind. Hopefully this helps you if you haven't taken it yet or can help someone else! Down...
alpinegirl replied to SkychicktoRN's topic in HESI
Hey! I just finished taking the HESI A2 today, and the math section was included in mine. I'm sure the exam varies from person to person, but I think mine included 5-10 questions about conversions (out of 55 questions total). I would absolutely make ...
