Hi all. I am in process of studying to take HESI A2 at Broward College. Since you guys have already taken the test I was wondering if you could answer a question for me regarding the math assessment section. I know a built in calculator is provided on testing day. My question is scratch paper allowed or provided also to work out your answers on testing day? Just want to know so I can prep accordingly and prior to taking test with or with out using scratch paper so I can simulate the testing environment I will be encountering on test date. Thanks and good luck to all that have applied or are to begin in Jan 2012

Pharmacology cannot be taken until you are accepted and enrolled in the nursing program. As for microbiology, it is not required as a prerequisite for submitting your application to the nursing program itself. However, it is suggested it be completed prior to starting the program given the heavy workload encountered once you are accepted and in the program.

With regards to whether or not you give permission to have potential new employer contact your current place of employment, definitely say yes. you can couch it by giving them permission once and if should an offer of employment be extended. They would not contact them anyway until an offer is extended in most instances

This helped me for med surg. In outline form List disease/disorder, pathophysiology of the disease/disorder, diagnostic tests to used to identify each disesae/disorder and special nursing considerations associated with each diagnostic test, signs and symptoms of the disorder, special nursing implications that go along for the disease/disorder as well as listing the meds used to treat disease/disorder and corresponding nursing implications associated with each med. It may be time consuming but as you are writing you are also reviewing as well plus no need to reread chapter--your notes will be all set for the exams

Here is a link to the prerequisites. In addition, you need to take microbiology although it is not a prerequisite in order to apply meaning you can apply before aking it althought most take micro prior to applying to lesson their course load while in the program since it is required for graduation from the program http://www.broward.edu/nursing/nursing/AdmissionInfo/page8599.html

see if you can volunteer as a candy striper in the hospital or go to the hospital and see if you can volunteer as a reader to the children in pediatrics--that will get you some esposure to the environment Just a thought!

If your teacher relies on powerpoint presentations for lecture use that as main studyguide/source while using textbooks too deeper reinforce those topics that correspond with lecture. To further supplement your understanding, pick up suanders nclex review book and match up and review topics in class with sections in sunders.

here is another link I stumbled upon which you may find helpful http://www.unomaha.edu/hpa/2740epithelium.html

Maybe this link will provide you with the information you are looking for http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/webanatomy/histology/default.html

It all depends on how competitive the GPA's of the other students who apply for the same cohort. Past cohorts traditionally have had acceptance GPA holding steady at 3.8 or 3.7 for MDC. Also, it depends on which tract you apply to also generic vs accelerated. Accelerated gpa tends to be lower but not by much because the majority seek accpetance into generic or part time

I would go. It could bring some levity to an otherwise tense/nervous situation. Itcould serve as an ice breaker to set you at ease at beginning of interview by you cracking a joke about it Therefore you address the situation upfront and can get you worries about appearance out of the way and ten proceed to concentrate on the task at hand--landing a second interview or job offer.

looking back at your post I would assume since you are in the process of taking a and p and you have not heard from them as of yet, I would assume you did not meet cuttof due to gpa or the fact all science prereqs not complete.. follow my suggestion as posted in my initial post

Find out through the Nursing Dept at your school what the cut off is to be able to sit for the test at your school if u dont meet the cutoff proceed to make alternate arrangements to take the test at an approved testing center in your area and have scores reported to your school asap as you are up against a deadline

staying motivated

Utilized a different text book but this helped me when studying for med surg- In outline form List disease/disorder, pathophysiology of the disease/disorder, diagnostic tests used to identify each disesae/disorder and special nursing considerations associated with each diagnostic test, signs and symptoms of the disorder, special nursing implications that go along for the disease/disorder as well as listing the meds used to treat disease/disorder and corresponding nursing implications associated with each med.
