Yes, I just passed my HESI and I won't take my boards until January or Febuary. My new job as a GN does not start until Jan 7th. Of course, in the interem I have bills to pay! But, I must say that my...
That is great that you passed Congrats! I just took mine as well (passed thankfully) but 13 out 40 of my classmates did not. Thankfully, they give you a second try. If you don't pass then, you have to...

Yes, you are all correct by stating that Brookhaven is the best choice. I have heard many horror stories about other nursing programs (corporal like instructors, starting with 100 students and only...
Congrats to everyone who got in! To those who didn't I will say this. Do not give up! The beauty of the Brookhaven Program is that if you don't get in the first time you will almost assuredly get in...
Thank you Second semester students for helping out with our pinning ceremony! Of course, it is a sneak preview for what is waiting for you just around the bend. Now you are the big kids on the block...
Thanks Toni, you are too sweet! TO answer your questions, I will be working at a pediatric Rehab Hospital called Our Children's House at Baylor. It is a bridge between acute care and home care. I...

Good news everyone! I got a 97 on my test (1060) ! I am finally done with nursing school! Although I do feel really bad for everyone who didn't pass. Thankfully they have a second chance and will pass...

I know Toni! It seems like it was only yesterday.... I never believed that it would go by this fast but it has! (and it will for you too). thanks for the warm wishes. I am studying hard and I hope I...
Everybody, please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we take our exit HESI on Monday. This is a big deal and is the last thing standing between us and that diploma!
Yep I am graduating in less than a month. I would love to sell you my books, but I know for a fact that both the Fundamentals and Med Surg books are an edition to old. Of course, I have others if you...
Ah yes, the age old issue continues. As a soon to be nurse who happens to be a male, I have encountered "member prejudice" at least once a month if not more. When I can, I try to switch the assignment...
Sorry I can't make it to the mock trial this time. I have an interview at Childrens for my internships! Shucks, it means I am missing out on community service hours... ah well. I will be going to...
There is no time limit to the test that I can recall. I took it last year before I got admitted. AS far as chem, there is none. Chemistry is not a component of the test. A and P is pretty basic stuff....
Those clinical presentations are fun! Don't sweat it... Just put some effort into it. They all grade very fairly. Have fun in Med-Surg! It is great that you are finally getting into the "meat" of...
Yes, you will need the preusser. One thing that we did to save ourselves from all having to buy the book is we bought several copies and made copies for the whole class. you won't be using anywhere...

i work full time and go to nursing school fulltime. This pays for my living expenses. To top it off, my place of work pays me back 100% for my tuition. I go to CC so it is not terribly expensive. I...

You don't have to go that in depth at all. Believe me. Just review the basics and you will do fine. I studied the study guide almost exclusively and I got a 94. It had even been five years since I had...
So are you guys almost done with the semester? What does your schedule look like for next semester and when do you start? I hope you guys haven't had it too rough!
