In both cases, it depends. Both instructor and hospital rules vary.

Paying for it yourself is also a powerful incentive to perform well.

A lot of HESI info in this thread including list of versions: https://allnurses.com/fl-nursing-programs/hesi-different-versions-509681.html

Titers do not need to be performed first. The immunization can be performed first. (That was the point of my prior post.) Inciting anxiety and fear by suggesting that students will be unsuccessful if they do not spend every waking hour on school do...

Clarifications, corrections and differences of opinion: Immunizations do wear off over time. A vaccine's effectiveness declines over time. Just because you had an immunization in the past does not mean that your titer will "be ok". Only the titer ...

In my experience last term, you could do these in any order. The proof of each titer is a separate requirement from the physical. In fact, I had my physical performed at Northside Clinic first. It was completely unrelated to the titers and the doc...

In all group/team projects in which I have been a member, all participants received a copy of the final submission. It was never a situation in which the one to compile it was the only one to see it. Simple: a copy was emailed to all. What kind of...

My letter was dated July 20, postmarked July 27 and received July 28. (That old no-no of not mailing letters the same day they are dated.)

The uniforms are customized, including the blue stripes. You will probably need special permission. I have heard of folks being dismissed from Clinicals for less.

Doesn't this increase risk of nosocomial infection? I have been instructed not to carry any tool to be used from patient to patient to patient.

In my opinion, that is all mostly wishful-thinking, ideal-situation-type stuff. The reality is that during Term I, a group project comes together in the last couple of days. By the time you realize that someone is not pulling their weight, it is us...

The only thing I would add to that is that registration is in-person on orientation day and on paper. After the lottery numbers are drawn, the students line up according to number. When you got to the front, you registered for the section you wante...

I want to protect my anonymity but I will say, "enough".

If English is not your first language, then you have a total pass. :)

Hehehe... that should be "you're". I hope that you're doing better with your German than your English.

The biggest problem has been some instructors who are largely absentee: do not grade and return assignments/tests/quizzes/discussion boards/group projects/etc. in a timely manner; do not take ownership of the syllabus (which was prepared by the "lead...

Thank goodness for Bing Translator (http://www.microsofttranslator.com/)

No problemo. I'm almost through Term I so I would be glad to answer any questions.

Ha! Anyone who thinks the NAT is a test of endurance will not make it through Term I of nursing school. Now THAT is a test of endurance. (The NAT is not.)

Hehehe... that would be "fathom". (And the answer would be none. Have you ever tried calling the FSCJ Nursing Department? Now THAT is one black hole of a telephone number!)

Here is a link to an interesting journal article on the HESI exams. It is titled "HESI Exams - An Overview of Reliability and Validity" and was published in the CIN: Computers, Informatics, Nursing & Nurse Educator in the May/June 2005 Supplemen...

I searched all over for this information before finding it. I thought others may wish to see it, too: Here is a list of all of the HESI exams: https://evolve.elsevier.com/staticPa...ing-exams.html And here is a list of all of the Specialty Exams (a...
