1) what sources did you use as a study tool Hurst Review. I took it twice (once after my 1st year of nursing school and once after I graduated). I did the QReviews that came with it. They were extremely helpful in learning how to answer NCLEX styl...

Yes that's the good pop up! :) Congratulations to all of you!!

Good luck! :) I will say a prayer for you tonight.

I just took it on June 20. I passed in 75 questions. I too was extremely anxious, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, etc. DO NOT study the day before the exam. Rest, eat a good meal, and let everything settle. I took Hurst Review (and studied their cor...

You should enjoy your free time. Be with your family, clean your house, read books of your choosing, mindlessly search the internet, watch silly TV shows for hours on end... You better do it now, because for the next 2-3 years, you WILL NOT, I repeat...

HIGHLIGHTERS.

Just wanted to say that i just found out i have officially passed all of my courses and will graduate on may 12, 2012! I never ever ever thought this day would come! All nurses was such a tremendous help. All of you can achieve this dream! Keep yo...

14 days! FOURTEEN FREAKIN' DAYS!!!!!!!! I can't believe it is actually here!! I have to take a HESI, a Pharm exam, and a Pharm final and I will be a NURSE!!!!

Go back on the 9th and graduate in may!! Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!!!!

Comfy shoes and a bajillion highlighters!!

I agree, stop wasting time on the flashcards. You can't just memorize nursing material, you have to be able to apply it. I read and outline the chapters, then I read my outlines over and over and over again and do practice questions. Your lucky, if ...

Remember your ABC's... An O2 saturation of 82% is ridiculous.

Don't worry about the exit HESI yet. You need to focus on learning all the material to the best of your ability so you will be prepared for it when that time comes. You have to take nursing school one day at a time, otherwise you'll get bogged down...

Woooooooooohooooooooooooooooo!! SUCCESSFULLY finished my third semester yesterday - which means I'm 75% FINISHED WITH NURSING SCHOOL!!!!!!!! Next big milestone is MAY 9th, A.K.A. - G-R-A-D-U-A-T-I-O-N!!! Good luck to all of you, it can be done!!

Imagine how awful it would be to fail out at this point and have to do it over again! That's motivation enough for me!!

76.5 - NO ROUNDING!

You'll probably do a lot of standing around, bed baths, and bed changes. Nothing to be nervous about. If you do get nervous, ask your instructor for help, that's what she's there for. More than likely you'll have a partner too, so don't sweat it. ...

Check with your school and see how many people apply, that way you'll know how competitive it is. If they accept 60 out of 1000 applicants, you are going to have to be on top of your game. As far as being "smart", I'm not sure it matters. As long a...

Google.

Thank you :)

More than likely you won't be carrying all of your books at one time. I have used my "medical dictionary" maybe once, and that was at home. Google is a lot faster!!

First and foremost, your nursing courses will be unlike any other course you have ever taken. So don't go into it with preconcieved notions. The classes are HARD, there is A LOT of reading, and you have to stay on top of it every single day. My b...

My best advice is take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Keep lots of check lists, stay organized, and stay on top of your reading! :) Good luck - Nursing school is both the best and worst decision you've ever made!!!! LOL :) It's a truly rewarding experience...

The biggest difference for me was not being able to "memorize" everything I needed to know. Nursing school is all about applying what you know to different situations. My best advice, take it one day at a time and focus on the here and now. Don't...

On a side note though... I take EVERY SATURDAY for myself, no school, nothing! On exam weekends I study for one hour only on Saturdays!
