  1. can an LPN student take the CNA exam?

    I just finished my first semester in an LPN program...As all my fellow LPN students know, ...during our clinicals, we were doing 90% CNA work. (Full Patient care, feeding, hygene, diapers, occupied bed changes, ROMs, all the fun stuff..) I looked at...
  2. Anyone in their 2nd year at CCP?

    I'm planning to take my LPN program certificate to CCP and apply for accellerated admission. I'll be taking care of whatever prerequisites my academic advisor tells me that I still need, this fall and next spring. (Like Dietary class and LPN-RN tra...
  3. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    The smallest school from the smallest county in all of NJ is now represented on allnurses, thank you, thank you... As we go into our next semester at SCC (23 mandatory credit hours! AAAaaagghhhh!) I hope many of you will find your way to this forum...
  4. Is this common in an RN program???

    I went to an LPN to RN program. 1st year, did practical nursing jobs...patient care, meds, reports. Next year, the "RN" year, it was a touch of med/surge, some clinpath and a WHOLE lot of theory. Capstones capstones capstones till you scream. I ha...
  5. Anyone in their 2nd year at CCP?

    I already have my Micro taken care of... I was wondering what "mandatory" classes they start in for 2nd year?

    No HESI at Cumberland!
  7. Hey guys....How do you all support yourselves?

    update... I work under the table as a freelance mason/painter. It's good for making my own hours and I listen to my class lectures on my iPod while I'm working. Today I'm going to apply for a job as , yep, a vet tech again...the pay I expect to reall...
  8. Hesi Exit Test

    Woah. Tell you what,... If your school requires a score of 1000, and more than half of the class still manages to pass (WITHOUT spending hundreds of dollars on outside tutoring) , what can I say, sounds like the kind of school I wish I went to! Li...
  9. Hesi Exit Test

    Don't let the staff intimidate you. When it comes down to it, they're all very much accountable for the program they run, and if what they're saying was truely policy, it'd be in writing somewhere. They are just scared for their jobs because if too...

    Cumberland doesn't require an exit exam? interesting..
  11. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    I'm sorry, I was so busy ranting that I didn't answer your question! The only ADN program I know of that doesn't require a "Do or Die" exit exam, is Del Tech in Georgetown, DE. NY nursing schools, do not require a HESI, but they do require a ver...
  12. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    More and more nursing schools nationwide are jumping on the HESI bandwagon, because it artificially raises their ranking through finding a new and creative way to make sure that students who won't pass the NCLEX on the first try, don't even get to si...
  13. Hesi Exit Test

    As a matter of fact...the HESI has another purpose, according to their own web site. It's other purpose is to make sure that schools are actually teaching a proper curriculum. How many of us were missing questions on the HESI that were about subjec...
  14. Hesi exit exams

    Isn't that a screwed statistic, pretty much having the students take another version of the NCLEX and only let whoever "passes" sit again? that's like me having a Marathon Running School. I guarantee that YOU can run 26 miles after you graduate!!!! ...
  15. Hesi Exit Test

    Is anyone from a nursing school that ties your HESI score to a grade in a specific class? In mine, we have a 10-credit hour MedSurg class that if you fail the HESI 3 times, you get a 10 credit F added to your transcripts. To reapply to the program,...
  16. Hesi Exit Test

    According to the HESI website, the test is also made to put the school's curriculum to the test, to see if it's truely preparing the students for the boards. I myself came from a nursing school where 60% of the students passed the HESI and were a...
  17. My LPN year was going smooth, I was even enjoying it, until 2nd semester I started hitting serious money problems. If my family didn't pull through for me when they did, I would've probably quit to start working full time again, rather than let my c...
  18. Hesi - Itis

    Depends on what your program leaves you with. Some make you wait a year to take it again. Some programs have you repeat an entire class, some programs make you repeat the year, some change your grade in your heaviest class to an F, sending your GPA...

    Think of it as a massive horse race... where the horses that do not place, get a leg broken for their trouble.
  20. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    Yes, Salem Community College requires the HESI exit exam to graduate. Be warned, the exam itself is tied to other courses, meaning if you cannot pass the HESI exam, your grade in another class will be transmuted into a very heavily weighted "F". (T...
  21. :confused:I've just graduated, and I'm waiting to take my NCLEX-PN... does NJ issue GP temporary licenses? Does it automatically get issued when my application to take the boards is fully processed? *** Oh, and I beg anyone who replies, please plea...
  22. I think it's strange how the cost of education+workload for some vocations is so grossly disproportional to their earning potential. I saw a classified ad on Monster.com, the facility wanted a social worker with an MS,a decade of experience and al...
  23. Salem Community College Nursing Program!

    OK fast forward half a year! 80 students, 29 were able to pass the exit exam! Drama! Thrills! Chills! Spills! Did I mention Drama! I'm taking my ball and going to Philly! I've had enough of this school and the monkey business that goes on behind ...
  24. If you think you're 100% up for it, go for it. The rewards are many and it will be a valuable springboard in your nursing education. The money is nice too but the programs have effective ways of weeding out (and brutally punishing) those who are jus...
  25. Every nursing class has it's recipient for the Florence Nightingale Award for Excellence in Nursing Studentry! I have extrapolated the traits and habits of the recipient of my class and will share them with you eager young new students so that you ca...
