OK, I am a first level RN student and I am struggling on tests...especially on fundamentals and HESI. Instructor says its my critical thinking skills. She says I have the facts and knowledge but having problems with applying that knowledge. Is there anyone that has had this issue? And if so, what did you do it master those critical thinking skills? Or if anyone out there can help me, guide me, or something I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks and God bless!!!

Great, I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that feels this way... I do like to read and will definitely look for that book. We have to consider we got into nursing school so we must be doing something right! Thank you, you have made me feel better. :thankya:

I can't wait to start Nursing school but am extremely nervous. I keep thinking what if I'm not smart enough. Is there anyone that can help with this nervousness?

Thank you for all the info, it will definitely help me to be prepared. I am applying at a local junior college for the ADN program. My plan is to get my ADN and work a few years and then go back for my BSN (after my little ones get a little older...I have 3 small kiddos:heartbeat). I am not sure if the program I'm appyling for requires an interview. I have not come across it from all the research I have done, but I will know here before too long. Are you in the BSN program now?

Do all nursing programs require a interview? Do you have the interview before you are excepted? What kind of questions do they ask? What do they want to find out from the interview? Thank you so much for your help! I am about to apply and just want to be prepared...

Does anyone know about or had an interview while applying for nursing school and can fill me in on the details? Thanks a bunch!

Hello, I am about to take the HESI A2 so I can apply for RN program at TJC. A lady in my A&P class said today that it wasn't too bad, just study the study guide. She said the HESI was just like the practice tests in the study guide. I hope she is right...lol! Good luck on everything!!!

awesome job!!! I pulled an A too!!! I was so worried but it wasn't that bad.... now to do the same in A&P in the fall for me!!!! good luck with the rest of your classes!!

thank you, i was thinking about just calling the hospital. i didn't think about going on their website.....thanks for the info!

i have heard that hospitals have a program (im not sure what the proper name is) that consist of students signing a contract stating you will work for them after graduation and they will pay for your training. Does anyone know anything about this? what area of the hospital do I contact to find out the details? thanks in advance for your help! :wink2:
