I recently received my acceptance letter into a local university NP program. The university has been around for some time, but the program is new, so it is not accredited as of yet. I am concerned about eligibility for sitting for the boards once...

I did my transition to practice overnight and loved it! Tons of experience!

anything that can set you apart from the rest of the pack is good! Also, any additional experience that you can gain is beneficial! Go for it! Good Luck! : )

We were allowed to use a calculator, but it had to be a basic calculator.

It can't hurt! I took it twice! My school offered a 1 cr and a 3cr. I took them both. It can only reinforce what you learn, and it can boost your gpa. It wasn't required at my school either.

like everyone else is saying fear and anxiety is natural. most are a little shy when it comes to their own bodies. the truth of the matter is, so are our patients. this exercise will definitely help you see a glimpse thru the eyes of your future p...

well, first let me say that you are experiencing what is called “nursing school blues”. this is a normal thing even as far as into your last semester. when you are ready to graduate you are going to think, “oh man, am i ready to do this on my own?!...

Honestly, what it really comes down to is that you get the math correct. I don't know if a school would require you to do it a specific way or not. If they do then you would have to learn it that way. However, in the world of nursing what matters ...

i agree with the others. i applied to only one school, and got accepted to that school. however, acceptance was totally based on hesi entrance and grades. there was nothing about preference based on residence. if i were you i would definitely app...

It is not hard at all. The thing that gets a lot of people is the shear length of the exam. Relax...breathe...and crush the exam!

Well, I would think that you have a pretty good shot at it. It is really hard to say, because it totally depends on the applicant pool. It depends on how strong everyone's portfolio is, and how many applicants there are. There are so many things th...

Good luck! :)

See! That's what spending all that time in the lab practicing will do for you! :):) Good Job! Good Luck to those who still need to do it!

Yeah...for a minute. LOL Have to get back at it already! Too much to get done in so little time! :):):)

That is correct. The Hesi score is relative to the applicant pool. Good Luck to all!:)

Skeletor...I like it! :) That is a very good color coding system.

You know what...last year we brought our kit and tools every week just in case. What I mean by that is sometimes if there is a free minute you can practice vs, or a specific skill. Of course that is up to your particular lab instructor, but many ti...

Thank you! When is your first lab/class again?

Good Luck tomorrow! :) We will be there tomorrow too! We have skills tests already! LOL

This just made me smile! Not that some of the questions were confusing to you, but the select all that apply. I can officially so to you all...welcome to nursing school! :) It only gets worse I mean better!!!:)

No Problem! :)

Your contact usually is posted in the mailbox area.

You are correct she did say that. The lab is mostly open this week for upperclassmen, because we are going to be tested on some things the week that we return. However, I do not think you all are not welcome to be there. The thing is they will not...

Anytime! :)

momtofore: I was the one that got up and briefly talked about SNO during the shirt give away. The way that I broke up my binder was by section. That way if we had a quiz on chapter 3 I knew where chapter 3 was located. Also, they would be in order ba...
