I am a senior nursing student at Wright State University in Ohio. I am set to graduate in November. Throughout my education at Wright State, the policy on the HESI has been that you have to take it the quarter before you graduate, but you don't have ...

I live in Ohio and I am looking for dates for Mark Klimek's NCLEX review class. I have heard he is AWESOME and really want to take his seminar, but I missed the date he was in my city. I am now trying to find out where else he will be giving his semi...

Yeah I feel your pain! About 40% of my class passed it the first time. I was one of the lucky few that was able to pass, thank goodness. I studied....ALOT. I used the evolve website, and did as many extra case studies as I could. Evolve makes the HE...

I unfortunately can not come to the aug 13-15 b/c I have classs this summer and I have my clinical one of those day. I have passed the information on to other students though since not all of us have wed or thursday clinicals

I got a couple of other replies to this post, but I don't see them on here! I got a reply from someone who was organizing a class by him at Cincinnati State on August 13-15th. I also have his info if you would like to contact him Mark Klimek NCLEX ...

I will be graduating form Wright State with my BSN in November. I have racked up a considerable amount of school loans as I have been paying my own way through school. Anybody know about hospitals loan repayment policies in the Dayton or Cincinnnati ...

Unfortuantly we have had some bad experiences with the faculty at my school. We REALLY do appreciate those who have pride in what they do and try to help their students.

Yeah they haven't given us anything to sign, and we will be reviewing the original handbook to see what it says. I am more than willing to study my booty off ( and i sure will be!), but its crap that they're going to hold our degrees over our heads.

Yeah, there have been some issues with the ERI's, so I am not too surprised that they are doing away with them. Hopefully they will start implementing the HESI review stuff in your core classes. I'll let ya know how our class does!

Oooohh yeah unfortunatly we are sure. Our assistant dean (who none of us can stand!) expalined it to us. We take a mandatory NCLEX review class our last quarter, and I would think that would help, but apparently that's not good enough. Maybe we shou...

Yes, not passing the NCLEX would put us back. But we all just feel so cheated by this sudden decision. If they were really doing this to help us, it would be different. But the feeling is that this is being because their NCLEX pass rate is going down...

Wow, we are right on the same page here! I really feel like they are doing this b/c the NCLEX pass rate has been going down and they could loose their accrediation. And thats bull....teach us better and we will know more. We are taking this to a lawy...

Thanks! I didn't know they had a HESI review book...I'll pass that on to the rest of my class. It good to know that your class didn't have too much of a problem passing, lets hope we have the same results!

Thank you!!! :)

Ok, so in the past I have heard about the "signing bonuses" that some new grads get when they sign on with a hospital as an RN. I will be graduating next fall with my BSN from a Dayton area school. I want to work in either the Dayton or Cincinnati ar...

You know I hadn't even thought about that...thanks for the heads up! I'd rather be forewarned now and know what I'm really looking at than get smacked in the face when I see what I end up with! Thanks flyingscot!

Thanks Deb! I go to Wright State....counting down the days! :balloons: Congrats on your graduation!!!! :balloons:

So I am a nursing student in Dayton, and I am thinking about getting a job as a part time PCT while I finish school. I have heard from alot of people that it will really help me through school and give me good experience. Any input on that? Also, I h...

thanks all !:smiletea2:

I am in my first year of nursing school here in ohio. I just got a new job with a cell phone company and they need me to be able to work 24 hours/week. I have heard from some new grads that I won't be able to work that much. Any tips? How many hours ...

yes, I think there is a good chance that during down time at work I can study some. Thanks for the input!!

i am thinking about picking up a minor in sign language, but i need some input. is anyone else out there taking a foriegn language minor? is it possible or am i just going to run myself into the ground?
