  1. 1st Week in Nursing School

    I went to a big state university for my pre-reqs, and I noticed a huge problem with cliquishness in general. Living off campus (and an hour away, no less) meant that by the time I got to my first...
  2. I'm allergic to.....(laundry list)!

    Would vomiting and extreme nausea be considered an allergy or a sensitivity? I've got that rx to Vicodin and Sulfa antibiotics, and I've been told that it's merely a sensitivity and that it *could*...
  3. I've heard from some folks that taking pharmacology with Nursing I is pretty challenging at the ADN program I'll be starting in Spring '11, and that it's a lot of memorization. So I was trying to...
  4. Congrats! I was in the same position a month ago and the glow of being accepted still hasn't gone away, haha. Welcome to the first real steps into the nursing

  9. Help! Any Home Health RN'S in Ocala Florida?

    I live in Ocala and my mother-in-law's receiving home health care, her nurses always seem to have full schedules, places to go and people to see. So maybe business is doing decent around here. I...
  10. CFCC, LPN Applicant Struggling.

    Aw, I'm sorry to hear that you guys! did you ask to be put on the waiting list to get into the spring program? supposedly a bunch of people drop out before the start of spring term. good luck on...
  11. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    I'm glad I'm not the only one to feel like
  12. Hijab (headscarf) Nurses

    I was just on an airline flight with a hijabi flight attendant. I felt bad for her because I'm sure people would give her a hard time a lot. It must be a brave thing to wear such an obvious symbol...
  13. HESI Entrance Exam questions

    Hey OcalaMom, I was just thinking about you and wondering how you did. Congrats big time! With luck you'll get into the spring class and we'll have classes together, that would be awesome. I think...
  14. Why did you if you hate it ?

    Clearly no one would do it if they thought it was something they were going to hate. Only after investing time and money in nursing school do they find out it's not for them. On the other hand, I...
  15. Bad Interview...

    I think your response was good... but that her question was inappropriate and had nothing to do with your aptitude as a nurse. I could be wrong, but your personal relationships should have nothing to...
  16. How Hard Is The HESI Admission Assessment Test

    HESI A2 is the same thing, yes. But a 70 is only what was required for my particular nursing school, def. check out where you want to go and see 1) what sections of the test are required and 2) what...
  17. How Hard Is The HESI Admission Assessment Test

    About the vocabulary part: Apparently a ton of the people at my school haven't done well on the vocab either--so much so that the nursing school says they only have to have a 70 grade in it instead...
  18. How Hard Is The HESI Admission Assessment Test

    The grammar part was not hard for me, because I'm naturally very good at writing/grammar/etc. but if English is your second language or if you were never very good at to begin with, I recommend...
  19. How Hard Is The HESI Admission Assessment Test

    I had a thread about this a while back and I got a lot of good information, then after I passed the test (with all 90%+ in the areas I needed!) I gave advice to the next people. You might want to...
  20. Littmann Card. III for nursing school?

    Hadn't even seen Caliottoe's response, but same question as tag2007.
  21. Any CFCC students?

    Glad to be of some assistance. I have a HESI study guide in PDF form I could email to you, it's got most of the types of stuff that was on the test, and I found the math section to be especially...
  22. Any CFCC students?

    They warned us it could take up to a week to get the results (the website emails them to you) but I got mine four hours after I was done with it. Supposedly it varies depending on how busy the...
  23. Any CFCC students?

    I would def. get on it ASAP! Try to take the test next Wednesday if you possibly can (they do it every Wednesday) and get your essay written by then so you can turn the entire application in on...

    hi ocalamom, i just took the hesi in mid-june at cf, and got my acceptance letter to the spring 2011 full-time class last week. the hesi is composed of several parts, all of which you take, but only...
  25. CNA on the job training...Ocala area

    My mother was the DON at Marion House when they did that program but she says she doesn't think they do it anymore. Apparently they had a lot of people breaking contracts to work elsewhere after they...
