  1. Looking for help

    You probably need to apply to the university (in general, not the nursing program) and take the 9 courses, then apply to the nursing program after you take whatever tests are necessary. I recommend...
  2. Confused between school and preganacy

    The fact that you have never met anyone who regretted becoming a parent (or who admitted such a thing openly to you) does not mean people do not feel that way. Parenting can be extremely difficult and...
  3. Confused between school and preganacy

    IMO, an internet forum is really not the place to go to ask if you should have an abortion. That is a personal, private decision that only you can make based on your own knowledge of your situation,...
  4. co-reqs I finished my pre-reqs last semester. Both microbiology and nutrition are co-reqs, so I'm getting them out of the way so I can have only nursing classes when I start the nursing program. I...
  5. When is the best time to take the HESI?

    Well, what sections do you have to take? I had to take Math, Vocab, Reading, Grammar and Anatomy and Physiology. I took the test right at the end of A&P II. When I say right at the end, I mean one...
  6. Pensacola State College RN May 2012

    I was moved to candidate in May (last month) and told I would probably start in August of 2013 (Fall 2013), if that's helpful at
  7. Exams

    Not sure what you mean. Many nursing schools have entrance exams which, in part, decide if you get into the nursing program at all. When you do get into a nursing program, you will obviously have...
  8. I felt bad because I found your post hard to read without paragraph breaks. I will say this, math is my weak point. But what works is practice. Just practice, practice, practice with many different...
  9. Do you recommend Biology before Anat and Phys?

    I don't recommend taking any unnecessary class. So, my advice is to only add on to your course list if you feel you really need to. I took Human Biology some twenty years before I took A&P I. I...
  10. Reciting nurse's pledge question

    I just wouldn't say two words in the first sentence. *shrug* Do you ever have to say this out loud by yourself? If not, who will
  11. Should I Go To Galen (Not Accredited)

    I'd seriously consider how much you will be in debt when you are
  12. Hesi test results

    In my case, it said no such thing in the instructions. I did not have a calculator and I was told I would not, because I specifically asked about it. They did provide me with all the scrap paper I...
  13. Hesi test results

    No, there was no calculator when I took it. I had an abundance of scratch paper provided to me, though. I also did not receive my scores instantly. I was given a piece of paper that said I could log...
  14. Too FAT to be a nurse?

    Yes, you should lose weight. No, you should not put your dream on
  15. How hard is Statistics?

    Whew. I feel lucky to have somehow crawled out of statistics with a B. I'm so glad I took it years ago, not knowing I would one day want to be nurse and need that class. I remember being really...
  16. Pinned & done with RN program!!!

    Awesome! Best wishes to you on the NCLEX and landing a
  17. How much is your degree costing you?

    ADN (five semesters), total tuition & fees (including pre-reqs and gen ed, lab fees, etc.) about $7,000. I have a degree already so I had already done some classes, so this will turn out to be...
  18. Is $49,000.00 too much for ADN program?

    What in the? There are people who really pay that much? Wow. I mean I understand that people don't want to wait. I really do, but that is ridiculous on so many levels. I always see a red flag when I...
  19. Does HESI shut off automatically?

    I did the math first, too and then A&P. Every section I took had 55 questions except A&P which had 30. There was no specific time alloted for any of the sections that I could see. That is, I...
  20. I am confused about my pursuit of becoming an RN?

    The nursing program at the college I go to takes 5 semesters to get an
  21. School

    I don't know about getting an LPN/LVN. But if you are looking to get your RN without having to do pre-reqs and you have no college credit at all, you will be hard pressed to find a program like that....
  22. Are you talking about for an entrance exam? I thought the HESI SP was the test people sometimes have to take after certain semesters of a nursing program. If that is your case, your school should be...
  23. The college I go to requires about 26 credits of general education and nursing pre-reqs. So, going full time you could finish it in an academic year and maybe a summer. The nursing program is five...
  24. Does HESI shut off automatically?

    No, it doesn't shut down automatically. I had four hours to do the test and that is an overall time period. In other words, I was able to choose in what order I took the various sections and I could...
  25. Don't want to Let my family down....

    Like others have said, an LPN is a nurse. I understand you want to eventually become an RN and as you know, you can continue on to do that. There is no shame in becoming an LPN. If you don't get into...
