hmm, IDK that seems like a lot. not saying youre wrong or anything, but WOW

From what I researched, its about 40 people that get accepted, and the rest get put on the waiting list for the next term? I'd love to know about how many people apply though

I think my cumulative was an 89 or 90%. It doesnt really matter what your score is, as long as you get atleast a 75% in every subject. After you apply, your name is put into a computer and 40 students are picked at random. Good luck on the HESi :)

keep us updated

leelee- make sure you brush up on converting fractions to decimals, and converting decimals to fractions. touch up on ratios, they are very easy with multiple choice. ie 1:5::10:x solve for X... I had a bunch of these with multiple choice. learn how many pints are in an ounce, ounces in a gallon, and pints in a gallon. learn converting millileters to leters and kilometers to meters. I had a few, "which is larger...1/3 1/2 2/3 ect ect" make sure you know fractions I had multiple word problems, just read carefully, they are usually simple multiplication and division problems. I had add these numbers together...odd because there is a calculator I had mulitply these numbers...still use the calculator lol Add and subtracting of fractions, with and without whole numbers I had to get this in writing while it is still fresh in my brain...if you can learn these before you go (again this was for the hesi-a2) i would almost bet you would get at least an 80 or above. feel free to add to this list :)

I am not really sure if it is hard to get into or not...Im taking my lunch break in a minute and I'm going to call the school and ask..I will let you know when I get back

Thanks! I overstressed way too much about it lol. I would just go in relaxed and calm and you should do fine. Passing the test doesnt really do anything for me, still going to be a challenge to get accepted a very bittersweet test lol

I dont consider myself super smart, and here was my story. I took the entrance exam last night, not bad at all. Math: brush up on converting fractions to decimals, and vice versa. Learn military time, if you dont know it. Learn how many oz-pints-gallons ect. I got a 92% Vocab: hardest section to me, and I suck at math, pretty sure the words were made up lol. Used a ton of medical terminology and made it very confusing, also did this section last, so I was tired. I got an 84% Reading comprehension: stupid, time consuming but easy. I honestly just stared at the screen for like 2 minutes because none of the answers were that good. lol. I got a 98% Grammar: Pretty easy. A lot of "which word is not grammatically correct" type stuff. A little bit of a headache, you just have to pay attention. I got a 100% This was for the HESI-A2, just thought i'd share my story :)

I posted this in LPN section before I realized there was an AZ section. So I am going to take the HESI-A2 or HESI-2 (forgot what its called) tomorrow in an attempt to get into the Maricopa Skills Center LPN program. There were a few topics about this school on here but were a couple years old. The website says it requires 75% on all subjects to get in. (math, english and a few others) How hard is this school to get in for the January 2012 start date? Say I got 75% like it says, would those scores actually get me in? I'm just really curious how competative it is, and if I have a chance. Also, it says if you are a CNA you can bypass the first 14 weeks or so, and the start date isnt until jan 2012. So if I were to take my CNA before then, would I be eligible for this? Thanks in advance, I'm very curious! :)

but the HESI is free :)

$52,478 dollars....yep, reallly

Ya we should keep in touch, that would be cool. I have so many people in my class that complain so much, and it really bothers me. They dont seem to understand that nursing school is a ton of work, and a huge commitment. Im not completely quitting my job, just going down to 2 days a week, but I am definitely ready to quit all together if I need to. My parents have been paying out of pocket so far and will probably kill me if ever fail a class, haha. How are your instructors? Mine are all pretty good, with the exception of my A+P teacher. (maybe its just because I hate that class though :) )

2008pn, so we started at the same time, so you know exactly what I am going through. I have 8 LPN's in my class right now...and they have told me that this program is exactly how their LPN program was. I put in my notice at my work, it is seriously just getting a bit overwhelming, and I didnt do so well on an A+P test haha. I still have 5 more weeks to boost the grade up. :) good luck

People always talk about "transferring credits." That is such a funny thing to me...Who needs credits transferred? Maylisa, while you may not be able to "transfer" credits, other schools, such as university of phoenix" accept ITT's credits after you finish the program, and allow you to be able go on to get your BSN or Masters if you choose. People only need to transfer credits if they don't finish programs, or move, or something random. It is a 2 year ADN program...actually i think its like 2 years and 11 weeks or something. I promise there was no one more skeptical of ITT-Tech before paying out of pocket to go there. I promise you I have done my research, I have talked to hospitals, DON's and nursing students in other schools. I checked out Chamberlain, Pima, Apollo, Mesa Community College, this not is something I just went out and did. My mother has been a CRNA for 30 years, and she literally had a page and a half of questions that she asked the director of the program. ITT-Tech also has the most clinical hours of any school in the state of Arizona..I am not here saying it is the best program, but they have a 90% pass rate on the NCLEX, and its only 3 days a week so it works with my schedule, and no waiting list.

I understand what you're saying, but the answer is B. Trust me, you will learn this in school pretty early on. :)
