Did you have to take the HESI A2 anatomy and physiology section for admission into your school? I just took my HESI and did really bad on anatomy and physiology section (I'm actually taking ANAT/PHYS 1 and ANAT/PHYS 2 both at the same time this seme...

I was applying to one of the universities. In the main application, it asked "What is the name of your local newspaper?" I wonder why they want to know.

I got adjusted individual score of 85, is that a good score, bad score or an okay score?

Indiana University at South Bend: 8 seats and 44 applicants... I wonder why only 8 seats

Damn you overachievers... I took TEAS and didn't do so well on it.

I guess but why would they want to spend money and tell my town that I was accepted into the university, or in your case, won a scholarship. What do they have to gain by sending a press release?

How so? They can verify residency by many other ways (ex. asking me to prove a utility bill, DL, or copy of tax forms, etc)

Math, reading, grammer, etc are easy. Killer part is the anatomy and physiology section. You have to know the nerves, muscles, bones, veins/arteries. You also have to know which glands secrete which hormone. I had a question that asked which hormone...

As for anat and phys section? Here's what I remember: -Know the heart valves (mitral/biscuspid and tricuspid) -know the nephron structure (where water gets reabsorbed and where minerals get reabsorbed) - Know the effects of ADH on the kidneys/...

I need to know what kind of stereotypes will I be expecting if I become a male nurse.

Lol, I'm not looking for an easy way. Just trying to work with my numbers to find out where I'm competitive. No point in spending money on schools that won't even look at my application because of my stats.

I was wonder if male students are given any preference for admissions into BSN or ABSN? I would think that since there are very few males in the nursing profession, males would be given a slight preference over other applicants, would that be true? ...

Would you happen to know the names of schools that do lottery and/or give males a preference?

Are you serious? so ANY qualified applicant (one who meets the minimum requirements) has the same chance as the one who exceed the minimum requirements?

Well, there could be other reasons. For example, my school charges me $10 per official transcript release. If I apply to 10 schools, it'll be $100. As a student without any outside financial support, it's hard for me to spend $100 a month on transcri...

I think most colleges accept unoffical transcripts for the time being but eventually, you'll have to send in an official copy before they make the decision.

If that's the case then I would have to agree with you. Personally, first I would just take the direct approach and confront the cheater and tell him/her about what I saw and my concerns regarding grading curve and it's effect on my grade. If that do...

I'm not even in nursing school and already getting stereotyped. I met with one of the family friends from church and they asked what I was doing, I hesitantly said "nursing". The first thing the guy asked was, "what are you, gay?" (he's one of those...

I'd rather just let it be. I know what I have to do and I don't butt into other folks lives. When they cheat, they know what they are doing. They are adults and know the consequences. I personally believe that if you cheat through the classes, it's ...

Sure. I don't think it'll hurt your chances. Just don't base your application or essay on babysitting. You can list that under jobs or ec activities.

You don't necessarily have to have office-related jobs. It's better if you have health-care related jobs. The volunteering in Africa will help you out significantly because it shows your enthusiasm for helping others when it comes to health. Plus i...

Should I write my own letter of recommendation? I'm applying to nursing schools and I asked one of my employers to write me a LOR. She told me that she would be happy to but asked me to write it for her and then send it to her. Then, she will read ...

That makes sense.

That's what I was thinking but right now, I go to school full-time and I don't work so I don't have money. The cheapest room I found was in a sleazy motel that wanted $70 a night incl. taxes. As of now, I'm thinking about just driving there on Frida...

You have all the right ideas and good wording. There are some grammar and punctuation mistakes here and there. I suggest that you have one of your friends, family member, or classmate look at it and help you fix those errors. Another thing you shoul...
