    Donald11 posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I was just wondering whether there are any current LPN-RN students who did not attend an NLN accredited LPN program. I am thinking about attending a non NLN LPN program, but was unsure of whether...

    After carefully thinking about it, I have decided not to do nursing. I do however thank everyone for the advice they gave me. I would like to do nursing, but virtually all of the schools in my area...

  12. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    "you may want to reconsider...as long as the school has a good NCLEX passing rate it would be worth it. My school did exit exams, and an exam to gauge how we were doing every semester, but they have...

  13. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    I find it hilarious how so many people here are defending exit exams. You guys do relaize that the majority of older nurses have not taken them? Exit exams have not always been around, they more or...

  14. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    And to the people who say that FINAL exams are the "exit exam" please understand that final exams are a joke compared to a comprehensive exit exam like the HESI. On the final, you are only tested on...

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    "Not only that, pharmacists and MD's take a LOT bigger entrance exam(MCAT and PCAT), than an 8th grade level TEAS test(and yes the TEAS is 8th grade level)." True, but many nursing schools use the NLN...

  17. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Doctors are not interested in nurses catching their mistakes. I have 6 doctors in my family and many of them are not big fans of nurses. My cousin wrote up a nurse for calling him by his first name...

  18. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    "BTW, my school has a 100% pass rate on the NCLEX-RN, which leads me to believe that the Exit HESI is doing its job." So the only purpose of the HESI is to allow schools to have a 100% NCLEX pass...

  19. Well, No Nursing for Me

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    "if you cannot pass the exam on the second try, you don't deserve to graduate nor become a nurse." I don't know if I would agree with that statement. For a hands on field like nursing, you simply...

    Donald11 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    Yes, I know the NCLEX is an exit exam. But at least that I can take an unlimited number of times. With a school based exit exam, you usually can take it only

    Donald11 replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  22. Should I pursue a BSN or LPN

    Donald11 replied to girtenbt's topic in LPN to RN

    "You may as well go for one or two more years and get that bachelors degree!" Why? If you can be working during those 2 years instead of in school, you would be better off financially. Your earning...

    Donald11 replied to fencikboy's topic in General Students

    The HESI is there to help schools inflate their NLCEX pass scores by ensuring that only the best of the best students are allowed to take it. SCST mentioned that their school gives you 6 shots at the...
