In order to get rid of belly fat you must perform at least 1 hour of cardio, including walking, running, cycling, swimming on most days of the week. Also, diet is huge, if you're not eating right exercise doesn't matter. Try to eat lots of vegetables. I'm not a huge beliver in counting calories, but I think it can be a big eye opener. I used to personal train and I also use this method for myself. Try counting calories for 1 week. It will give you some insight on how many calories you are consuming and how much you need to cut back or if you need to take in more. Lifting weights is also important, the more muscle mass you have the more calories you can burn. Hope this helps.

HURST Review. You can find it online. It's kind of expensive, around $300, but worth it. This southern women from Mississippi with a very southern accent highlights what you need to know. You watch her online and fill in her study book. Then, study the book and extra handouts for one week, and then take her mock NCLEX. Then you watch her online again, and she reviews the question one by one. This women is amazing and you will be laughing your butt off. I passed the first time with 75 questions. This review has a very high pass rate. Hope this helps.

At my school, we took a HESI after each section. I passed all HESI"s but the pediatric HESI. I also failed by only a few points. To prepare for these test, I found that doing tons of practice questions and reading the rationales was better than just studying the actual HESI book. It's like a game answering these questions. Once you get it figured out you'll do better. But it takes alot of practice. I find it easier to rule out the wrong answers first, and then make a decision on the answer. When I took the re-take HESI, I did tons better and didn't fail anymore the rest of nursing school.

Hi all. This is my first time to post. I just graduated in December and am currently in orientation on days in the ICU. I will be switched to nights in 3 weeks. I am religious about exercise. I have done several marathons and triathlons. Throughout school I was very good at time management, I even trained and participated in a marathon. It keeps me balanced. I'm worried about time and energy when I switch over to nights. So far, on days, I have been able to get all my workouts in. Any suggestions or insights on how to balance night shift, sleep, and still have time for exercise and relationships. I'm very worried about this. Please help relieve my stress. :uhoh21:
