I'm doing my pre-reqs at Marion Tech (also in Ohio) ad I've never heard of the HESI. None of the nursing students on our campus has ever mentioned it. It does sound like a rotten deal for you guys...
Good luck, Spring!! Nursing school is competitve everywhere. I was fortunate enough to get in on the GPA I established while pursuing my prior degree, but I've seen the students at my campus sweatting...

Tha's great!! Columbus Sate has a real good reputation at my college. From what I'm hearing, they accept virtually all of our credits too. I'mnot fond of driving in Columbus,but knowing that they have...
I've really liked all of my online classes. They're better in some ways than being in the classroom, because I can do a lot of the work at my own pace instead of being held up by a class being...
My classes don't start until fall of 09, and I don't wait well. What I'm doing is gettng the pre-reqs and some electives out of the way now. Also, beginning in the fall, I have to come up with plan in...

I'll try. Even though I won't be in classes, I'll still be on campus. I have a work study job as a peer tutor, and during the summer, we're allowed to work full-time if we aren't in classes. The limit...
I just got done doing two quarters of Med Term courses all online. The best favor you can do for yourself is make flash cards. You can go back over them when studying for your exams and they'll also b...

That sounds like a fabulous experience to back up your training. I also worry about affecting my GPA, but I also realizxe that practical experience teaches things that the books don't. So what you're...
That's very true. That's why I decided against that once-a-week drive to the 4-year school. Rush hour traffic around a major city is a killer!! I'll have to eal with it for clinicals, but that's not...
Where I live now I make it to my campus in 15 minutes. From my other house, it was 45. I debated a 4-year school where I would have only had to go one day a week but it was a 2 hour drive. It all...
