Thanks, everyone. It has been very difficult, I don't feel that the exam itself was at fault. Their were many variables. My classmate, my friend worked so hard to save money for college. She worked...

Hello everyone! I took HESI and I passed NCELX. NCLEX in my opinioin was much easier. In my opinion, the HESI exam is way different from NCLEXl I don't feel you can utilize the nursing process with...
I would like to give the pre nursing students adviice on how to choose the right nursing program for you. First, ask what is there NCLEX pass rate? When they tell you, than ask them is that percentage...
I am looking into getting my BSN on line. I recently got my license, and do not want to attend a classroom setting. Plus, I am working alot of hours and do not have time. If anyone has any...
Please remember this thread is used for support do not diminish our mates. Be factual as you write your nuggets. - A profession who would be at riisk for skin cancer is the one who works mostly out...
Hello Mates! I hope we can all come as a team and help one another become successful in our endeavors as Registered Nurses. I started this thread for everyone, mainly for students who are so scared to...
kd2304 Congratulations. Now, can you suggest to other mates what you mean by "learning how they ask the questions?" Give examples, that may help other mates.
My apologies too. I am glad to know that there are instructors out there who really do care for their students. I wish I had the pleasure to have met you guys. It's nice to be able to communicate...
Keep that confidence up. I don't know exactly what studying tools that would specifically help with HESI. Their style of questions is so differenet. I used saunders and nclex3500. I prayed alot too....
Just wanted to say Thanks to Everyone for this Thread. Although, I already have my license, I still frequently visit this thread. I told a few classmates about it. Unfortunately, most do not own a...
SunnyLu2008 You are so right. The school representatives seem to call me when I am eating. I get confused about all of this On-line stuff either. After my horrible experience from nursing school. I...
I read this in the bible, I usually don't talk about religion or attend church every week. But, I do believe and have faith in him. Since, this whole incident with HESI I have been praying alot. For...
Angie O PlastyRN Thank you so much for that reminder. Its okay to disagree with someone, but its never okay to have such destructive comments when doing so. I had enough of those from nursing school....
I will be praying fyou or each and everyday until you let us know how it went. Keep your head up. Don't be afraid to get up if there is a question that you are stuck in. Walk around, stretch your...
I agree with standarized testing, but it must be used throughout the entire curriculum. Through out the nursing program, we used paper tests and a scantron. We never practiced or took any test with...
Is this the only school you applied for? Are there any other schools around you that do not have a waiting list? If you can, while you wait. Apply at other nursing programs around you. Just in case....
My suggestion would be to read and read the saunders book. Know the HESI hints from the HESI book. The style of questions is different from that of NCLEX. Do the HESI CD so you can be familiar with...
CARDIACRN2006 I agree with a quarter of your comment. Looking back, that is the reason why our nursing program used HESI, for punitive reasons. Instead of taking accountability for their deficiencies,...
There were three of us who passed HESI. The rest are being offered to audit there second year. Yes, they have to pay for the entire 6 months, new text books, and the school decided to change their...
HESI is a cumalative test, you say? But if the teachers didn't teach you nor what is in any of your text books. How than can it be a cumulative test? Did you not say cumulative is based on what you...
LadyJane My classmates carefully, followed through with the chain of command. All the way to top. One thing that was accomplished was that the chancellor would think about that the students repeat...
