  1. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    I definitely know it increased stress for me. Twelve hours of stress mentally and physically (turning 300-500 lb. pts. every 2 hours) isn't good for anyone. I don't care if you do have 4 days off. In the long run what do you think is going to happ...
  2. what do you all think about 12 hour shifts?

    I'm right there with you on working 8 hour shifts. People think that working 8 hour shifts every day are awful, but I just did 3 years in CCU of working 12 hour shifts and I felt like crap the other 4 days. It took me 3 of those days to get over th...
  3. Regardless if you're LPN or ADN at my school the first year is the same. It only changes up after the first year where LPN's exit and ADN's continue on but before they can continue on in the ADN program they must pass the LPN exit exam along with t...
  4. I need help with a little survey. I'm just curious about something. For those of you that have heard of the HESI test please reply. Can you tell me if it is a requirement to take the HESI test and if you take it and fail or you held back for doing ...

  6. I need help with this survey please

    Thanks Stacey.. Before i sent this e-mail I had sent another one and people jumped all over me saying I was blessed to get an opportunity to take this test before I actually took the RN boards. Me and my classmates are not disputing that this is a g...
  7. I need help with this survey please

    From what I'm understanding everyone that has answered said they have to do remediation, but are you actually held back or you can remediate on what you need to learn as you move forward.
  8. I need help with this survey please

    Anyone out there at a State Institution and being held back?
  9. I need help with this survey please

    We have to do the remediation and get held back 5 weeks and then re-test, and not promised a seat back into the program because they don't know about available spaces and this is only a semester before you're due to finish the ADN program. This was ...

    Thank you for talking with me. I'll keep you posted. How does that saying go, "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." Steve Bartkowski.. Football player I like this one too.. "A man may fall many times but he won't be a failu...

    We're being tested on the disease, characteristic, etiology, s/sx, treatments, teaching points, risks/complications, any lab values associated

    OH ITS POSSIBLE.. We're doing it and stressful beyond your wildest imagination! My mom said to me one day, "I'm much older, but even I have sense enough to know that you can't retain anything that fast." Like I said in an earlier e-mail, we take o...

    The pass/fail rate is okay for the Nclex but not for this Hesi test, figure that one out???? I've already completed a year.
  17. ADN penalties.. please read & reply

    Thats a good point and others in the program have expressed the exact same thing you said about you can't just keep adding stuff as we go along.
  18. ADN penalties.. please read & reply

    I don't know if I feel that good about it. If you got a chance to see my other reply I had stated an entire system may be covered in 3 hours. Every one in this area knows how tough this program is, but making this test "mandatory" was just somethin...
  19. ADN penalties.. please read & reply

    No there is no assist with reviewing for this and if you contact Hesi, they have study material for their RN exit exam, but not their LPN exit exam. Every one tests differently, what if the test I have been taking at school is way off base from the ...

    Need I add I don't know how many of you are in a 5 week program, but we are not in a semester program. Our courses start every 5 weeks. Imagine taking OB in just 5 weeks. Also, when we do these 5 weeks courses its not just one thing like OB was; t...

    In case you're all wondering, the exit exam is by HESI not my school.
  24. ADN penalties.. please read & reply

    We were told about it via e-mail about a month ago. We will be more than prepared when we take the RN boards because they have a review especially for that and worked into our curiculum, but they don't have a LPN review.
  25. ADN penalties.. please read & reply

    But is it mandatory that ADN students take the LPN exit exam in order to continue?
