Hi Jasmine33, I am a nurse in Chicago, but I lived in Spain and I am interested to go back to live in Spain. Did you have to take any test to obtain your Spanish nursing licence? or was your UK licence just validated by Departamento de homologacion y reconocimiento de titulos?

Thank you so much. I will take the hands on, and save the money.

hello- I need to ACLS certified ASAP. I am tring to get a new job in a different hospital, my interview is on Monday. HAving ACLS would help me get a new job. Is there a big difference between getting certified online vs hands on from the hospital point of view? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

thank you

I graduated in 2008. The advice, don't give up, don't get discouraged. as far as favorite instructors for lecture the Oscar goes to Mrs. Polly Zimmermann, and Mrs. Corbet. Clinical instructor the best for me was Mrs. Cora Johnson. If you get to have Miss Allen, don't get scared, she is cool. just study, know your stuff, forget your friends, and familly for the next two years- but it's worth it. truman had 100% passing on state board test. Good luck :)

I am a Truman graduate, they say there is a lottery; however if your GPA is 3.5 or higher, you took most of your pre-req., and passed the Truman reading test with a 100% thay may take you right away. That is what we all have learned during one of our psych classes. Nobody ever told us about it.

Thank you so much. I already ordered the book. :)

Thank you very much. Do you know about any good book I should buy to guide me? :)

hello everybody, i just started as a hh nurse. can you let me know ehere to find a good charting samples, 485 orders. i am a new grad, and i work part time in dr.'s office, and this job is totally different. i want to do it well, and i would appreciate all help i can get. thank you so much, magdi:heartbeat:paw::heartbeat

Congratulations!!!!!!

I passed HESI on Monday:bugeyes:. I did use Saunders 3rd edition ( blue cover), Hesi book, also along the way I did use the Hogan book, which a lot of my classmates finds very helpful. I did NCLEX 3500 questions, that helps a lot too. Believe in yourself!!!! This is what you need, tell yourself that you will pass, you will be successful. This is very important, you went through the nursing program you have all you need to pass the test. I wish you the best of luck!!!!!

In Chicago, the City Colleges make us take HESI in order to graduate, that way they can assure that the students who take NCLEX pass. Truman College, where I went for nursing had a 100% passing rate on NCLEX two years ago, and I believe a 98% last year. This year, on Monday 27 people out of 78 failed HESI. The person who did HESI review for us was from Oregon end there HESI is just a 20 % of the final grade. In Chicago we have to score 870 or above on HESI, but during the HESI review we were told that just for HESI you need 850, and that it was our school rule to change that to 870. I think that in every state it may be a slight difference, since the schools make the rules about it.

You write an inspirational qoute in remembering our Lord jesus in your thoughts. I too have taken the HESI twice and 825/798 later, I await the verdict from the school here in South Texas to attempt once again. I would love to hear of your outcome and perhaps recieve an email from you at [email protected] I hope you suceeded. My Paramedic husband says he is my best friend and no matter how I feel about failing my family and him, he is strong and continues to support me emotionally and in no way blames me for my "not" passing status. "Such is life and keep on trying", he states. "You fall and falter, pick yourself up, dust your butt and knees and try again. Life continues, with or without you":bugeyes:. (thats his line) God Bless us all. I had very good grades but that was of no use to me in the HESI. Sigh! I just passed HESI on Monday:). This test is not about what you know, is about how well you can handle stress, especially if you need to pass HESI in order to graduate. Believe in yourself, you do know it. I wish you good luck!!!

I passed Hesi this Monday!!!! I can't believe it but I did. I read Saunders NCLEX book, HESI book, and did a lot of questions from NCLEX 3500, and HESI questions. There were questions about peds, psych, OB, meds, not as many about med-surg and fundamentals as I thought. Go over the test strategies, I missed some questions I know just by reading to much into the questions, but I did pick the right answers for something i did not know just by eliminating the other answers. Good luck!!!
