   The schools can buy different versions of the HESI exam, so while I don't know the exact method for numbering the versions, it really doesn't matter which one you take. All of the versions will be...

   advice regarding course choice

   RNTutor replied to LoveAura's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   If you're only doing it for the purpose of trying to get in nursing school, then I would probably skip it. You can show on your application that you have previous nursing experience from your work...

   NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    Thought I would throw in my two cents... I think llg put it very well, as did mcmgal. It is not that exit exams are inherently wrong, it is that they are gravely misused by some nursing schools (such...
