I finally passed the HESI exit exam. My school requires a 850 or higher. My first attempt I made a 849. My second attempt I made a 1,018. I am finally out of nursing school! Now, it's time to study for NCLEX. -Aaron

It is possible to work part-time if you know how to manage your time. I know people who have worked throughout the entire program (including myself). Do I work 40 hr/wk? No. But, I do work ~ 25 hr/wk. Make sure your employer is very flexible, be...

I'm currently in the last course of the program. Congrats to everyone that was accepted. Be prepared and you will enjoy the program. Good luck!

Organization will come once you receive your syllabus. Find what works best for you. E.g. - I only take a small notebook and a pen. Know your material before class, sit there and listen and write down the important stuff. Try not to make school h...

This is all in your book and online. Shouldn't take > 30 min. to find all of the answers. 1. Adrenal gland - Endocrine Good luck!

@Mrs.Mumz - Lecture exams are definitely doable. As long as you read the assigned pages and pay attention in lecture you'll be fine. In my opinion, you rarely have to take notes unless the instructor say's, "I would know..." The more exams you tak...

You will get instructions on confirming nursing as your major once you have started the N1300 course. They will tell you everything you need to know. Congrats!

Good luck to you all. Rest up for the intro. class. :)

I start mental health nursing in a week. I will have to find a way to make the material interesting. Has anyone taken this course? If so, can you give me any advice/online resources that may help? Thanks,

If you are doing well, keep doing what you are doing. I agree with That Guy. Drawing it out helps.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to the clinical part of the class, but lecture is a different story.

I am starting nursing school (summer 2010) and my first class is Intro. to Nursing. I assume I will learn the basic skills such as: washing hands, BP, etc. Any advice on topics I can study before class starts? I'd like to get a head start on thi...

@mgrn4life - Shoot me an email at [email protected] and I will try to help as best as I can. Learn as much as you can in A&P I and II, because it will make all of the material you learn in nursing school a lot easier. -Aaron

@ImThatGuy - Yes, it's a RN-BSN program. I'm not sure of the competition level, but I actually have clinicals at UAMS now. I believe we have clinicals at every local hospital except Baptist.

You all will be receiving letters soon. Don't sweat it. The letter will come when you least expect it.

No notes or printed PPTs for me. I read the material and research what I do not know. Repetition works for me. You just have to find your groove.
