Hi, Has anyone found any sites for the HESI to practice on? I've been looking and looking and haven't come up with anything. I may be putting in something wrong for the search engine, who knows. Thanks for any advice :nuke:

I am a First Year Nursing Student (again) and I am sooooo ready and prepared for this year! I found an AWESOME job working home health and I will tell you what, I will appreciate my RN sooo much more after having this job. I have one on one hands on ...

I am excited also to be back in Nursing School this fall. I didn't do so hot last fall and I am ssooooo ready to kick butt this semester. I am not a "traditional" student. I am 34, married and have an 11 y/o who is active in EVERYTHING!!!!! I can't w...

I am so relieved to of seen this post. I too failed at Nursing school last fall. After much bad mouthing, wallowing in self pity, etc, etc, I re enrolled for this fall. I am excited to go back and I realized what I did and didn't do as a student. Sta...

I read this post and thought AMEN!!! Last fall was a complete nightmare for me. I did not expect my hubby to stray and he did, found out right before my first Nursing test! Then I spent the rest of the fall repairing my family is the most impt to me...

HI! I will be retaking my ADN program again this fall! Actually I am very excited to go back into it honestly. After much reflection and taking care of personal family matters, I am ready to tackle school again. I know what I can and cannot control a...

Hi All!! I will be restarting my ADN program this fall. I was wondering if anyone else has had to repeat Fundies and any advice for study tips, tests, clinicals and exit exams. It isn't an easy thing going back into somthing you failed the first ti...

I was the same way last fall. I didn't pass Fundies and I am getting back on the saddle again to start over this fall. I was overwhelmed the first 2 months and was freaked out and didn't know what to do or how to do it. I suggest you get a good stud...

Hi, I have the same problem. I can narrow down the questions to 2 or can figure it out on the get go. I know that I need to practice, practice the questions. I have 2 really good NCLEX books that I have been using to practice with. Saunder's is an e...

Hi! I am seriously looking into brown mackie for my lpn. Has anyone had any experience with the program? Ive heard both good and bad and I'm just curious if anyone is or has gone to brown mackie. Thank u

Hi My scores for the HESI were in the 80's and 90's and my gpa was a 3.8 when I applied and was accepted last March. I wouldnt worry about your scores, they look great! I dont remember the topics for the essay, but i wouldnt worry!! :)Have you looke...

Hi! I am starting my LPN program either this summer or fall pending on any other hiccups along the road. lol:D I was reading the above msgs and now I am a little confused on what we as LPN's can do with shots, and IV's. Are we allowed to give shots...

Mine would have to be that LPN's are not Nurses!!!! I actually would rather be an LPN than an RN! I started Nursing school last fall and failed Fundamentals for my RN program. I'm happy I did! After all the hullabaloo that I put my fam through and my...

I was in a ADN program last fall and didn't pass and going for my LPN! I truly am excited about it and I found a different school that will "teach" me the way I need to be taught and work around my school and home schedule. I do get upset when LPN...

Howdy! Congrats all!! I attend a small private school in Northern Indiana for my ADN and didn't pass last Fall. Actually I am glad that I didn't pass. I am actually going for my LPN and I am very very happy with that!!! It's not that I couldnt ha...

Hello!! I couldn't find in the Nursing Brochure for the ADN program at a small school in Northern Indiana, the DRAMA and Back Stabbing "B" Club!!!!!! Holy Smokes the DRAMA!!!!!:argue: I am honestly glad that I didn't pass the semester!! I could not...

I started my ADN program this past fall with the hopes of passing with a 75%. I missed it by 4!!!!!:smackingf I have since then cried, kicked, screamed, felt like crap, ate WAY to much chocolate and felt sorry for myself. I reached the point yeste...

Im sorry to say this but honestly, this entire post really sounds like a PI*SING MATCH!! You can't go into Nursing School with an attitude. NO offense, but it sounded like you did and then you get kicked out by an instructor. Another school is goi...

Yes. They are great reference materials for questions you cant remember to answer.. I have all of mine and I am actually teaching Anatomy Lab to students this semester along with Nursing School.... :)

HI. I started Monday and I am exhausted!!!! My instructor did say that the first 3 or so weeks of NS "suck" because you are getting used to an academic format that you simply have not had before. She also said dont be surprised if you bomb your f...

I start Nursing School on Monday!! Yea!! :). Yes I'm terrified, but after reading the great tips on here, I do feel better. My biggest fear is the written tests and how to prepare for them, but I found great tips on that also! Thanks again! Good l...

I start the 23 and I'm a mixed bag of emotions!!! I have had previous medical experience as a Breast Cancer patient in 2006 (age29) and ever since then, I find myself helping and wanting to be with Oncology patients. So coming from the patient side o...

Holy Smokes that is ALOT especially Chem and A/P!!!!! My advice, I would try and lighten the load. You've got ALOT of reading ahead of you!! Good Luck!

I had orientation the 11th and got my last book yesterday and now just waiting on my scrubs!! I am scared out of my mind to start on the 23!!! I can't believe it's here allready! Holy Smokes!! I've been looking through my books to get familiar with ...

As my Father in Law would say ( and he is a Nurse) " Jen, you can only fish for one species at a time." If you think about it you can't go for all of them (fish). You have to select which "breed" and focus your attention on that. Nursing school is g...
