  1. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Thank you for your thoughtful replies, Livetolearn and vkubiak. Livetolearn, I couldn't agree with you more on your reasoning. While I would expect some people to fail out over the course of the...

  2. Credit For Previous Nursing Courses

    *LadyJane* replied to nevergonnagiveup's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure you check with graduates of the programs you are considering entering about how many students were not allowed to graduate becuase they didn't pass the HESI test just before the end of their...

  3. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    OK, re-reading your post I see that your school is basically failing 50% of the class for not making 900 on HESI. That, to me, indicates inadequate preparation, and it seems to me that your class...

  8. Hesi Exit Test

    *LadyJane* replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you, unfortunately many, many, many colleges are using this HESI test to make their pass rates look like 100% or very close to it via HESI. The only problem with this...

    *LadyJane* replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

  17. Irony, how I love thee...

    *LadyJane* replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I think that sense that they should really say: Babysitter, Nanny, Au Pair or Mother's helper. In Washington state, it is illegal to call yourself a nurse unless you are a licensed LPN or RN. I...

    *LadyJane* replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel that way about Baby Nurse, after all, there are Baby Docs and Baby Attorneys..... LOL. The language that really "gets my goat" is "weeding out". People might be unsuited for nursing, but...

  22. Nursing School Books

    *LadyJane* replied to jst81161's topic in General Nursing

    Before your quarter starts, go and meet with your instructor to ask him/her if it might be okay to use an older edition. They usually know what the differences are between editions. Believe it or...

    *LadyJane* replied to julieGN's topic in General Nursing

    *LadyJane* replied to denise0815's topic in General Nursing
