  1. EXIT HESI

    Everline replied to 2016New's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Our school gave us access to adaptive quizzing and practice tests on the evolve website. Our school required us to take the exit HESI twice and I passed (scored above 900) both times. But I practiced...

  2. what age did you decide to become a nurse

    Everline replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    I think I was 43. I was in social services for about a decade, then I stayed home and raised my daughter for many years before I went to nursing

  3. IV Sizes?

    Everline replied to Jennx's topic in General Students

    It depends. What will the IV be used for? What is the age and status of the patient? Where will the IV be

  4. Anyone using ebooks exclusively?

    Everline replied to thecrankycamel's topic in General Students

    I started off with regular textbooks, but quickly learned the value of e-books. It takes a bit of getting used to for some people but it was wonderful. No lugging around heavy books and I could...

  5. nursing school

    Everline replied to keviisom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's different for everyone. Nursing school took a great deal of my time. The amount of content/reading was staggering, not to mention the stress of labs, simulations and clinicals. I didn't do much...

  6. Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    Everline replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    I have never heard of an RN certificate. Most people in your circumstances would end up with two degrees, not one degree and one certificate. Did your school tell you that you will receive an "RN...

  7. Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    Everline replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    If you "only have an RN certificate"? What is an RN certificate? Putting that aside, I don't know how much the colleges you are talking about cost, so I can't factor that into my advise. But...

  8. Nursing School - What are you thankful for?

    Everline replied to Ricearoni's topic in General Students

    THIS ^^^^^^^ (but I think it's 14 days for me) I'm thankful nursing school is just about

  9. 19 days!

    Everline replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    I have completed and passed my exit exams. Have a bit more "paperwork" to get done. Other than that, I'm relaxing this Thanksgiving break. Ok, I'll probably do some studying for

  10. Appropriate orientation attire

    Everline replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    No one wore anything special to my nursing school orientation as far as I can remember. I wore jeans and a t-shirt and did not feel the slightest out of place. Looking back, I can honestly say that it...

  11. Failed once, One more try

    Everline replied to stevienickole's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Take a look at an A&P text book and note the sections to get an idea of what to study. You can get a cram book of some kind to go over essential information. When I took the HESI a couple of years...

  12. My school now test with HESI.

    Everline replied to Tanya Love's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I don't remember what our required score was, but using that book and knowing how to do the different types of math problems in it got me a score well into the 90s. Again, good luck. You can do it....

  13. Practice on each other?

    Everline replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    We were not allowed to practice on each other with the exception of vital signs. People did it. But not on school

  14. 19 days!

    Everline replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    19 days for me, too. Soooo

  15. My school now test with HESI.

    Everline replied to Tanya Love's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Elsevier publishes a book called Hesi Admission Assessment Exam Review. If you use that book to study your math and can do all the types of math problems they have in that book, you will do fine on...

  16. Help, wanting to leave job within 6 month of hire

    Everline replied to MMJ,BSN's topic in Nursing Career

    Give two weeks notice immediately and take the position that is a better fit. If I were in your position I would not even

  17. clinical instructor problem or is it me?

    Everline replied to studentnurse162484's topic in General Students

    Oh, do I feel for you. Your instructor sounds a lot like mine was in my third semester. (I don't honestly know how I made it through. I sometimes have bad flashbacks, lol.) She wanted us to do things...

  18. Lessons Learned During Our First Semester Of Clinicals

    Everline replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Students

    #3 is where it's at.

  19. Having doubts about being a nurse

    Everline replied to Jeneaux's topic in General Students

    I'm still trying to understand how it came to be that before nursing school, you didn't know that some of what nurses do is "gross" and "invasive". Or how you think that being "more of a medical...

  20. I want to quit!!!!!

    Everline replied to ChaeF's topic in General Students

    I don't know. I'm going to graduate in a few weeks and I pretty much disliked nursing school the whole time. I was stressed out and miserable. I am certainly not going to graduate feeling starry-eyed...

  21. Health insurance covering titers, exam, etc?

    Everline replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    My vaccines and TB test were paid for by insurance. I don't remember paying for titers either. I went for a physical and my doctor ordered the lab work to include them. I'm almost positive they were...

  22. 50 days!

    Everline replied to Julesmama28's topic in General Students

    50 days for me too! I'm so

  23. Nursing Diagnosis Help

    Everline replied to Jennx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I need to understand your thinking on these. Please explain

  24. Horrible nursing instructor

    Everline replied to Blah7272's topic in General Students

    The previous posters have said it well. I've been there, believe me. I had to swallow my pride and say "Thank you for the constructive criticism. I'll work on that" and give deference when I really...

  25. M.A. to RN jitters!!!

    Everline replied to jdbaxter44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are in school to be a medical assistant, you won't be working as an RN. You have to go to nursing school. Perhaps you could clarify. Are you asking what...
