I have heard that the vocabulary portion of the HESI is rather difficult because the terms you need to know aren't in the study guide. Is there anyone with advice on how to prep for that portion of the test? TIA ! Kelly

It totally wasn't what I thought it would be. I didn't learn anything about the program I didn't already know . I was hoping to go today and have fun and get excited about being in the program; but that is not the vibe I left with.

You would only be registering in June if you are in the August group, if I remember correctly.

That information should be mailed out in the next two weeks, along with the group assignments .

which hospital is that?

i was wondering about that too. my daughter was in the hospital for three days last week and on her last day there was a graduate nurse working on her team (she was wonderful :)!). she was a recent graduate waiting to take the nclex. i would think...

At our orientation we were told they may be mandatory for the next class that starts.

We were told at orientation last week that you cannot fail a course more than twice. Personally I think it's nice that they will give you more than one shot at it! It's so competitive to get in, you really need to work your butt off and maintain go...

Yes, they are sending the information about the scholarship out with the start dates. It's due by the end of June, so you have time to get it filled out. You can't fill it out without knowing what group you are placed in, that's why they didn't giv...

I took A&P at MCC and I have no idea if it transfers to other schools or not. I do recommend it, though :). I also had Ms Ragland and she's an awesome instructor.

So is that a program that I could buy for my regular pc and then download the software to a PDA too?

I guess I am going to my family doctor to get the physical, drug screen and titers done? I don't know if my insurance covers it or not, but I need to go for something else so I will try to get it all done in one visit. I have gone to Concentra befo...

If you are referring to the entrance Hesi (not the one you take to prep for the NCLEX), all you need to do is study the Hesi study guide that the colleges have available in the library (or buy your own). That is what I used to study and I scored ver...

I would shop around for your text. Ebay, Amazon, etc. Do a search on your book title (and edition) and see what sellers pop up. Anyone who pays full price for textbooks is silly!

What kinds of harsh and negative things were being spewed?

You can look online at the schedules in the catalog and get an idea. http://www.macomb.edu/Schedules/default.asp

That is like 6 hours a day :studyowl: . Wow.

I was just accepted to my CC's nursing program and I am not sure how I will handle the childcare issue. I have four children, 7, 5, and twin 3 yr olds. The older two will be in school all day (and I can use the before and after care programs for th...

I loved my A&P class. We disected a sheep's brain, a cow's eyeball and a sheep's heart. It was one speciman per lab table, so if you didn't want to touch or particpate you could just watch and learn.

I've heard it's around $23-25 an hour in SE Michigan. Nurse techs make $15+ per hour.

I've never heard of a program where you could do any clinicals before actually starting nursing skills/fundamentals of nursing classes. How would you know what to do? What college are you going to?

I personally wouldn't understand someone else's notes. I say go ahead and copy them for her and see what she can make of them. No big deal.

I was asking the OP (original poster) if they live in Michigan; because the signature shows she's from the Philippines . Or are you the same person?

Are you living in Michigan?

Geez. In my A&P lab we just sat around studying the models (playing with them ), looking at the charts, and disecting a couple things. We only disected a sheep's brain, a sheep's heart and a cow's eyeball. Lab was really quite social, not much...
