  2. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

  3. Why choose critical care?

  12. Older students biased against younger students?

    I'm an older student as well, and I think that nursing spots should be available to anyone who wants it. However, I think the requirements should be tightened in a way that it can sift through the...
  13. Crazy Instructor....I've had enough!

    Have you or anyone even talked to this instructor? In my school, you are to talk to the problematic instructor first before you even go to the higher ups. It may be very uncomfortable, but at least...
  14. Hi cabo2341! There is a review book for the HESI exam. You can get it at Barnes and Noble but it's quite expensive ($35 plus tax). I have the book but I barely read it and still passed the test....

    Perhaps for people who enter the nursing profession because of a lifelong dream of becoming a nurse, the pinning ceremony would be a poignant moment in their academic lives. It marks the realization...

    With your fiancé's income and yours, your EFC is gonna go up which can affect your eligibility for grants. There are other sources of education monies out there. See if your home state offers any...

  23. What the heck do these people think?

    during my orientation, the faculty and staff did not even sugarcoat it for us. they said it straight: nursing is hard. and i believe every word they said. but it doesn't matter what course you're...
  24. It's all falling into place!

    Good luck on your first day! Mine is not 'til next month so I still have a couple of weeks of freedom. But gathering all of the required paperwork is keeping me busy at the moment so it takes my mind...
