I am taking the HESI A2 soon (all sections) and I am close to a panic attack. How hard did you think the HESI was and do you have any studying advice?

Hello my fellow nurses(or nurses to be)! So, I am in health and wellness, and it is the first class that is like the nursing style test questions. I am so use to studying via flashcards. Now, I just feel like a lost puppy. I have been going over a lo...

lorirn2b The curriculum and test style questions from the country I am a nurse from is completely different then the ones in america/ which is why of course none of my credits would transfer from my country to here, meaning I have to go through nursi...

Thanks rob4546 and Carpediem1012 . I never did concept maps before, I will try it out. Thanks so much y'all!

thanks for your input! do you happen to have an example on how these study sheets look? I am a very visual person!

I am an RN in my country. Thanks.

So, I just got a cna job at a hospital, and unfortunately this is my only source of income, so please keep this in mind when you hear my story ( basically, I cant quit my job). So, on our unit it is so hard to get somebody to help me out when I have ...

Unfortunatley it's both the nurses an the other aids that wont help. We are so short staffed it's unbelievable. This is not my first job as a cna but the other hospital that I worked had a much better support system, So i never encountered this probl...

Hello all! So, I took the hesi a2 yesterday and just wanted to give my thoughts and tips. So, here it is! if you have any questions feel free to ask! :) I recommend that you take the longer ones first, because by the end you'll be exhausted. I took m...

Wow I am so unbelievably sorry that this happened to you I think people on here need to be more sympathetic. Don't let this knock you down get back up and follow your dreams! Never give up

Please save yourself the frustration and DO NOT choose valpo. It's an awful nursing program. Professors are rude, and the dean is so mean. The program is very disorganized. I mean they don't even have a pathophysio class! Once again DO NOT GO TO VALP...

Yes, the chemistry for me was brutal! know everything in the book plus more. I Cant even remember much that was on the chem part because I took it last All I remember is that it was the hardest section, and my lowest score. here is the ISBN number fo...

Just looking at this post I know you are going to be an awesome nurse some day! Thank you so so so much. I take my test tomorrow and you eased my major anxiety!

So, I just started my job in a hospital as a pct (my first CNA job ever), and today right as i came on a code blue was called on my floor. Thank god they resuscitated him, but he was not conscious from then on. I was so scared when it happened and it...

Thank you so much for the input! That was awesome! On the oncology floor it was extremely hard because it was a med surge floor, plus a stroke unit, plus all oncology patients. I was also a new CNA grad, and I do not think I was ready for it. It was...

I just got a job at my local hospital as a CNA on the surgical floor during pm shift. I was just wondering what it would be like and what i should expect. I worked days on a oncology floor and it was hell! Hopefully this experience will be different ...

if somebody came to work in their undies, again it would not be my business unless I'm there boss or something.

My local hospital always hire new grad CNAs and I actually just got a job there. Tell them that you are eager to lean! That always works :). Good luck!

Your lucky that person didn't punch you in the face. You were definitely the rude one here. None of your business what other people wear.

I totally Understand! I dropped my A&P class about a week ago, because I was somewhat in the same situation. My advice to you would be to prepare all this semester, memorize as much as you can, and then take it in the summer. Good Luck! :)

Today was my first lab in a&p 1, and ever since the class ended I have been having major panic attacks.I am so overwhelmed. I don't know how I am going to pass this class. It's so complicated with the tissues and stuff Any advice/words of encour...

I feel like such a bad employee. I just started my new job as a PCT and already in training i was sent home 2 times for being sick. 1. for throwing up, and i got an x-ray and it turned out my lymph glands were super inflamed. and 2. I fainted in the ...

So it was my first day as a PCT at the big local hospital..this is my first job after getting my CNA certificate. I just felt so overwhelmed today.. Like with all the medical abbreviations I felt so lost! And, I just felt like I didn't know what I wa...

Today was my second day at work, and i took all of your guys advice, and I felt a lot less overwhelmed and was actually enjoying myself! Thanks again for the support everybody!

Thank you all for your advice and support! I greatly appreciate it, and it's nice to know I can go to allnurses and have such a good support system.
