HI I am 40 years old and just started as a NA working to become certified. I work at a nursing home my end goal is to become a RN. I do not particularly enjoy working at a nursing home but where I work has a scholorship and I can work on 2 12 hour sh...

I am currently attending Brandywine School of Nursing. I do not like the teachers (except 1). I am having a hard time 2nd semester. I got a B for my first, I had a 3.75GPA at Immaculata for all my pre reqs. Does anyone know if DCCC would use any of ...

HI I have to get a 800 in order for my director to approve me to take the NCLEX. It does not affect me graduating but I could not take the NCLEX if I don't pass it. So my question is. What should I study? I do 20 NCLEX questions a nite from Saunders ...

HI I have a big test coming up it covers muskeloskelatal, pain, death and dying,sleep. Last test I failed so I have to do great on this one. Last test I studied my heart out. I am reading over my notes and going back to the book when I am not sure...

HI In order for me to graduate and to be able to sit for the NCLEX I have to pass a HESI test. Does anyone have any ideas on how to pass it or how to get ready for it. Lee

I am very nervous about the Hesi. I did the end of chapter tests in Saunders 3rd and I have been going over the chapters that I had a hard time with again. Does anyone have any other way to get ready for the Hesi? If I do not get 900 I have to take i...

Just signed up for July 9. I take 100 questions a day from Saunders, NCLEX 3500 and Lippencott. I hope that will do it.

I live in the Philly burbs and most of us had a job by March. The ones that did not have at least interviews by then are having a hard time finding one now. You can work as a Graduate nurse first then when you pass (first time) they change you to a R...

I live in the Philly Burbs and had 2 job offers to choose from. I just graduated in May and did not take my NCLEX yet.

Not sure if your interested in LPN but CAT Brandywine has a night program. I know a few that just graduated from there.

I did HORRIBLE on my exit Hesi, I retake it on Thurs. My teacher suggested to do 100 questions a day but do them in small blocks and make sure I understand the rationales of the ones I get wrong. She also suggested for me to concentrate questions fr...

Lancaster General Hosp., Brandywine Hosptial, Bryn Mawr Rehab, CHOP, AI Dupont, Chester County Hosp. These are the hospitals that my fellow classmates got jobs at. We graduated May 2008. Good Luck

I have a question. When I studied for tests for school I used one book that had specific lab values in it. Now studying for NCLEX the books I see are not the exact numbers I know. What do you do? Do I use what I know or which numbers. I know when you...

I graduate this week. I have taken the Drexel NCLEX review (not too happy with it), I have also been doing 20 questions daily for the school year and I did the questions in the Saunders book. The question is, should I put off taking the test and fol...

I am sooooo sorry to hear that. Our school forces us to pay and take this course. They even come out to Chester County for us to take it. I was hoping it would help me. It is a 4 day all day course for us. What a rip off I would rather spend my mon...

HI How many people fail the last semster of school? I have 3 things I have to improve on in clinicals (critical thinking, leadership) and I failed last test but many in class did also. I am soooo afraid that I just won't make it. I have been afraid a...

I know exactly how you feel. I currently have a 78 passing is 75 we still have a test and then a week later the final. I am sooooo afraid of not passing I do not want to even think about the exit hesi. Our school will not endorse us for the NCLEX unl...

Yes I did that right. I am very afraid of not passing my last semester I am currently passing by 2points but we still have a test on Tues and the final. And I need to improve my critical thinking skills in clinical we have 4 days left of that. I am...

HI I graduate from a diploma program in May, I am not a great test taker so I am scared about NCLEX. I do 20 questions a day from a Davis disk, I also am reading and doing the questions in Saunders Ed3. We also have to take the Drexel 3 day review ...

I have started your first tip and I have been doing OK with it. Thanks for the advise.

Karen What point is the HB171? Who would I have to write and when it is up for votes? I live in Chester County Thank Lee D

We took a Hesi after the 2nd semester. But we also take one as a exit exam we have to get a 900 in order for the school to approve us for NCLEX. We have to keep taking it till we pass. I found out today that the average has been 1/3 of graduating cla...

I am in my senior year and suppose to graduate in May. We have this instructor that gives us math questions, they want us to show calculations. I am not great in math but made it this far. She has made me and many others do math over and over again. ...

These are not tests, they are worksheets that are handed out weekly they do not count for points they are suppose to show you what you need to work on. I do get most right, for example, I got the answer correct but I did not have a equal sign so it i...

I emailed the teacher, she called me back and suggested I call a therapist because my anxiety is too high. I explained to her about the questions and she said she was looking for the word Dig level. And that on some of the math questions I have not ...
