What is involved in getting licensed in Oklahoma for someone who already holds a Texas license (RN)??

:banghead:Hey, all! Does anyone have any words of wisdom about the exit HESI exam? When I took the mid-curricular HESI exam last year, my score was 846 which was 4 points from a passing score. Thank goodness that score didn't pass or fail me. One of my classmates made an 849! Is there anything that I can do to better prepare myself for the test? I do know that we have three chances to pass, but that doesn't make me feel better about it. Anyway, thank you all in advance for your advise. Patty

I guess it's my turn.... Well, for starters, I'm a wife and mom of three sons (11, 13, and 19). I have two degrees (AS and BS) and am currently working on my ADN at GCC. I just finished my first year. One down, one to go:yeah:!!!!!! I am one of the older ones in class (43 y/o), but that's OK. My brain is a little atrophied, tho:banghead:! Things don't stick the way that I wish they would. I don't take the time to get on here much, but I'll try to do better in the future. I wish many blessing upon you all! bpo93 North Texas area representin'!!!

Yes, I just completed my 1st year at Grayson. Thank you for your advise, and it does make sense to me. May I ask you this: Are the sophomore instructors' test questions anywhere near like the freshman instructors' test questions? I won't elaborate as to why I am asking you this question. I do believe that you know why I wonder this. Anyway, congrats on your recent graduation from the program. I hope to be in your same place a year from now. bpo93

Is there any advice for someone (myself :uhoh21:) who literally passed the 2nd semester by the skin of her teeth? I seem to be studying all the time, but it seems as though I'm concentrating on the wrong things. Thank goodness that my best grade was on the final! That's what saved me from having to take this semester all over again.......a year from now! Can hardly wait to get this thing going again! bpo93

We were required to take the HESI with a score of no less than 75%. There were eight parts to the test: Biology, A&P, Grammar, Spelling, Vocabulary, Math, and a couple of other parts that had to do with finding out what kind of learner you are. It was not as bad as I had expected it to be. During the program, we will have to pass another HESI before we can move forward. I believe that we have two chances to take the test and pass before advancing. I just got my letter of acceptance into the ADN program offered at Grayson County College in north Texas! Yay!!!!! Class of 2009, baby!!!!!!

Thank you all for the words. Hopefully the time will pass quickly while I wait to apply again next year. Any suggestions as to what I could be doing between now and then? ? Patty

When applying for an ADN program in the spring, I knew that I didn't have what it took to be accepted for the class that begins in the fall, BUT...... When I got the letter today, like I KNEW would happen, they indeed said that I did not have enough points to meet this year's criteria. Well...... Even though I knew what it was going to say, I still just cried. I couldn't even type anything on the "LETTER" thread earlier today. Anyway...... I'm sure that I will be accepted next time around, but it still doesn't make me feel any better knowing this. Thank you for being here! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Maybe you should talk to your family about this and hear what their thoughts. Maybe it's just "cold feet" about beginning something that is so overwhelming and time-consuming. Once you begin your program, the time will just fly by, I bet.

I didn't know that "they" would let someone do that. :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf :smackingf Patty

Hey, I'm 41 and new here too!!!

Is there any advice to those of us who will be taking Micro this summer?? I'm really nervous about the whole thing. I will also be taking Medical Terminology online and know nothing about how taking an online class is going to be. Thank you in advance...... :chair: Patty

I turned in my app on March 30, but the deadline was March 31. I called day before yesterday to ask when we might know something and was told that the "letters" would go into the mail on June 1. The waiting is KILLING me!!! Hopefully the time will pass quickly. When I began my pre-reqs last spring, I thought this time would NEVER get here. IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! ............... ................. Patty
