   Smokey Nurse replied to Smokey Nurse's topic in LPN-RN

   Hey there. Tried to DM and it isn't letting me at the moment. Maybe because I'm too new to the community? IDK I did try though. Do you have a separate email maybe we could communicate through? I'm happy to answer whatever questions you may have.

   Hey there (this will be a long reply. Heads up), I will say the instructors are very sweet and want you to succeed. That being said I would not expect any special favors because of any experience you have. The first semester you are in is defini...

5. Questions about Cathy Parks Flash Cards and LevelupRN

   Smokey Nurse posted a topic in General Students

   This was news to me, but apparently ATI sued Cathy and she had to remove some of her videos and had to make changes due to the ruling. Because of this I am wondering, is it better to get the older flash cards (pre-lawsuit) from 2018-2019 or sho...

8. Hutchinson CC students, what kind of scores are you guys getting on your applications you turn in this year?

   Smokey Nurse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I’m just wondering if I even have a shot to get in this year or not. Becky has explained the scoring rubric to me and now frankly I’m feeling more discouraged than ever. In the past couple years out of the hundred of applicants, the lowest accepted s...

9. Accepted!!

   Smokey Nurse replied to Ddestiny's topic in LPN-RN

   Did you take your exam? How did it go? I tried AGAIN to take it and spent 3 hours between the proctor and Kaplan getting everything squared away. Examity scheduled me the wrong time and Kaplan didn’t even have the exam accessible to me. By that time,...

    Smokey Nurse replied to Ddestiny's topic in LPN-RN

    I emailed Becky twice yesterday about what happened. I’m really wondering if anyone else is having issues with Examity. I had heard they used to be great but then started outsourcing their proctoring and have gone downhill since. As for the...

    Smokey Nurse replied to Ddestiny's topic in LPN-RN

    Yeah I’m going to reach out after I take the exam again on Monday. Wish me luck. I was supposed to take it today but Examity gave me nothing but grief the entire time. Their servers would kick me off or the proctor couldn’t see me or my screen. This ...

    How does the scoring rubric work for Hutchinson? For example if my sciences are B’s with the occasional A, need I still even apply?

13. Accepted!!

    Smokey Nurse replied to Ddestiny's topic in LPN-RN

    How did your exam go? I’m taking mine this week. That many applicants sure is discouraging. Does anyone know how Hutch uses their scoring rubric?

14. California Lvn going out of state for RN?

    Smokey Nurse posted a topic in Online Learning

    Hello, so I'm in a bit of a bind. Been trying for years to get into a nursing program (lvn-RN or just RN) and haven't had any luck. My question is, if I went out of state for my lvn-RN bridge program say, for example through Hutchinson uni...
