@vrc1, The Reading Comprehension score is broken down so that you can see how you scored on each section (conclusions, word meaning, implications, etc). All of those scores averaged together is what...
What part are you having trouble with? There are many different sections of the Hesi and not all schools require you to take the same ones. At my school we have to take Reading Comprehension,...
@dyella, If you can make it work for you and your family, DO IT. It's 18 months and you're DONE. You are right, you have worked hard, you deserve this chance and another one might not come along,...
@dyella, One more thing to consider is that wherever you "start" clinical is where you are required to stay. You cannot move to a more convienient location if one becomes available, so you would be...
@dyella, First, congrats on being accepted! Getting a call from UTA is a big accomplishment in itself with so many applicants, so you should be proud of yourself. About Longview, it's a typical...
@tejas Keep us posted please!!! You are the ONLY person I know that is getting to or will have actually spoken to an advisor on the phone and not just emailing back and

Thank you so much for the clarification. The information you gave me makes me feel a lot better about taking this class. I'm also taking Stats, Nutrition, Patho and Pharm all at the same time, so to...

Yes, from what I hear, it's pretty intense. If there are any current students in the program that would care to comment on the course content and how many hours we can expect to spend physically at...

I'm taking a summer class that doesn't end until next Friday, so I'm resending my transcript AGAIN to them. Hopefully all of my classes will be entered into the system in time. Does anyone know if we...

I'm still trying to get my 'lost' transcripts found! I take the Hesi on the 17th and I've been studying the A&P section with flashcards that I made for myself. I guess the only really good part...

I took a look at the syllabus for that class. There are only 22 questions on each quiz? Wow. How long is each chapter? If they are long chapters, those 22 questions could come from anywhere! I...

@skysthalimit Thanks for the info. I sent you a PM with more questions. I'm not sure if you can reply since you don't have 15 posts yet, so I included my email

@Skysthalimit, what did you think of the Hesi? Did you take it at Lonestar? Give us a heads up and let us know what to expect, please. Do we get actual paper to use as scratch paper, or do they...
@ShellyE, I only know one person that has taken Stats at UTA and they failed it. I am scheduled to take Stats this fall and am very nervous about that class. I've been putting it off and putting it...

@louroque, Did you take the A&P section of the test in Feb/2011? I don't think it was required back then. If you DID take all of the required sections and your scores are still good, then I...

@heavykevy and leinus, do you have any suggestions on what to study for the critical thinking portion of the Hesi? I take the test in a couple of weeks and I have no idea what to expect. Did you...

@alanaransley Thank you SO much for all of the detailed information. Everything you said makes a lot more sense now. I'm used to taking a heavy courseload, but not with clinicals too. I've...
