    Exit hesi version 7 retake 4???

    RNTutor replied to nurse_mrspacman's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    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...

    RNTutor replied to William2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, the Kaplan strategies book is a good one...I recommend it to my students who want to improve their test-taking strategy for NCLEX. If you're looking for ideas on how to master pharmacology, I...

    NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    RNTutor replied to mAGGI315's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I suggest starting out offering 1-2 types of classes just so that you can focus your time and develop quality course materials. As you get experience finding your ideal customer, you will also...

    Question about the 6 rights of medication administration?

    RNTutor replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for coming back to share the correct answer, and not leaving us in suspense! I think I would have picked documentation, too. But this is a perfect example of a question where it's sooo easy...

    NCLEX Classes: Teaching?

    RNTutor replied to mAGGI315's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi velmalws! I find that tutoring is still much needed by many nursing students. The biggest challenge is finding a format that pays you what you're worth as a tutor. Obviously, most nursing tutors...

    HESI questions

    RNTutor replied to donaldo11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Donaldo11: I don't think that the different schools can automatically see your results unless you took the exam at their school. My experience is based more on the HESI exit exam, though, but I am...

    Pain: prioritized #1 or not?

    RNTutor replied to SN_glee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you're prioritizing and thinking in terms of an exam (like NCLEX), my understanding is that pain is always considered a "psychosocial" need. In that way, it would be prioritized after things like...

    Job availability for nurse educators

    RNTutor replied to caitiecait's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I love your thoughts on the reasons people get into nursing, and the importance of passing on the love of NURSING (not just a flexible JOB) on to students. But I would challenge the idea that the...

    Well, No Nursing for Me

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    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...

    Is Failure to thrive in an 81 yr old lung caner pt considered a psychosocial Dx?

    RNTutor replied to dirtytrees's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds like it would work to me. Although I think it's funny that the Adult Failure to thrive nursing dx is psychosocial, while the childhood failure to thrive medical dx is very much physical. Ah...

    help with psychosocial nursing diagnoses

    RNTutor replied to namita's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    2) I would say that situational crisis can definitely be a r/t factor, especially if the crisis exceeds the pt's current coping strategies. 3) I might identify the r/t as "increased anxiety in...

    Newly graduated MA looking for RN programs

    RNTutor replied to liltray1984's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I took A&P online and Micro at the same time, and I thought that was fine. I would give it try since you won't have to work and are already familiar with the

    Any parents in NS without a support system?

    RNTutor replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    I don't know how babysitease.com works, but on sittercity.com you can post whatever price you want. There is a recommended "going rate," but you get to decide what you want to pay and if someone is...

    Pre-Nursing Nurse Camp!!!!!

    RNTutor replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol! I'm glad you still have your sense of humor PatMac10! That really sounds awesome. I was an OR nurse, so I'm especially glad they gave you the run-down on what it's like to work in an OR. And...

    Yay! It's so nice to be able to make a decisions so that you can start moving forward. Good luck meeting with the counselor. Definitely ask about transferring A&P, but if it's been a while...

    Interesting LPN Program: Thoughts

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    No kidding! I know some people who've gone through Medical school (and I've seen the residents at the hospital), and it is ridiculous. I happen to think that evening clinicals followed by morning...

    Interesting LPN Program: Thoughts

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    There are definitely pros and cons to doing that way (at least in my opinion). Don't be afraid based on what others have posted, just remember that a lot of times people come here to vent their...

    Interesting LPN Program: Thoughts

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Yes, unfortunately. When I was in nursing school, I had to wake up at 4:30 AM so that I could get ready and drive an hour to my clinical site across town and be there and ready by 6:30 AM. Yuck. My...

    Interesting LPN Program: Thoughts

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I didn't realize that about CCNE, so I learned something new! That makes sense, though, when I was researching about CCNE earlier I read people saying that their profs were saying that the CCNE...

    Interesting LPN Program: Thoughts

    RNTutor replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    That is true that the school only need be accredited by the Board of Nursing in order to sit for NCLEX. However, NLN is not the only accrediting agency. Another common one is CCNE. I would be...
