  1. BMCC Fall 2011 Applicants - HESI A2

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Folks, I've been informed that someone tried to hack into my FB account, so I'm going to deactivate it again. I'll just catch up with y'all during orientation. I'm also in the day program. See you...

  2. BMCC Fall 2011 Applicants - HESI A2

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    I thought the only text we needed immediately was 'The Fundamentals of Nursing' so we could get a head start on some of that reading. That was my interpretation anyway. The rest of the books I'd buy...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    I just received an email from the nursing dept. They say that as long as the CPR and AED is certification for a 'healthcare provider' and is for adults and pediatrics it will be fine. However, I want...

    SkinyWinky--much better price. Thanks for posting! In terms of CRR certification, it says that their hospital affiliates require certification by "AHA certified trainer." Does this mean that the Red...

    Thanks so much SJesecaB for posting that info! Wow, that's a lot of money! I feel like I'll need to sell a kidney to pay for some of this stuff (Kidding, I love my kidneys). :) I just ordered 'The...

    Nowitsthetime, Gosh, now I see how confusing it is! These required books are not very organized. Either the incorrect ISBN number is listed or the ISBN is correct but belongs to a newer edition....

    Hi guys, I picked up my packet today also. When I saw how much money it was going to cost I nearly --sorry I've been waiting so long for an excuse to use that emoticon.... nowitsthetime: There are...

    Congratulations folks!! I received my call this evening as well...8:04 to be exact.:) totally unexpected. My last name begins with an S, so I'm not sure what particular order the calls are coming...

    Stole238, What does #22 mean? You're number 22 on the list of 1199 members @ school? So if they accept 24 1199er's you're good to go?

    Yes, I know those who are a part of the union are at an advantage. I'm sure if you search this forum or the internet you can find some

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks again stole238 for taking the time to post that info. :-) That's so different from the info they gave me when I signed up to take the HESI, which was what Maryasha posted earlier: 40% HESI, 30%...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Maryasha, I think you have it correctly. I think critical thinking is a part of that and of course like you mentioned, overall & pre-clinical sequence GPA's. Best of

  13. BMCC Fall 2011 Applicants - HESI A2

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    That's a great critical thinking score! Yes, I would imagine that is taken into consideration.

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    My critical thinking score was 840. What about you

  15. BMCC Fall 2011 Applicants - HESI A2

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    I know, they don't let out any info. Maybe the requirements change a bit from semester to semester? I know some schools require a minimum score of 750 on critical thinking. Maybe BMCC's is a little...

    Just saw the new posts. Thanks

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Stole238, Thanks for calling and posting the info! That was thoughtful. Curious though, you said they combine everything including CT. What is CT? Or maybe someone else might know what CT is? OMG, I...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    I applied to the day program. Although my HESI score was good, my overall GPA and pre-clinical GPA is slightly lower than what they may hope for. Does this mean I won't get in? Maybe. I don't know....

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry let me clarify. I think phone calls go out at the end of Dec. or by the first week of Jan. In terms of the GPAs and the HESI scores I think that the requirements are slightly higher for the...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Nowisthetime, Ideally it would be the end of the month, but I think it usually ends up being the first week of January--at least that's when they contacted people last year. The one thing I...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure what the minimum HESI score is. I've looked too. Although some schools list their minimum scores, BMCC doesn't. And quite honestly, I think emailing is probably a waste of your time. I'm...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Stole238 and the others who have taken/are going to take the HESI, I too, found it a bit easier than I had anticipated. My A&P questions were moderately hard, and a few of my Reading and Comp....

    Thanks so much for posting that mcasas189! I'm sure you had a very busy day, so we all appreciate it. And it sounds like you did well! See, stole238, maybe it's not going to be that bad after all.

    Hey Stole238, I take the exam at 9 am. Don't think there will be chem related questions. I hear you, I'm exhausted and my head is spinning too. lol. I don't think I can study anymore. For me it is...

    Esguts73 replied to junsei's topic in New York Nursing

    Hey Stole238, I agree with you about the study guide not being enough. I went through the A&P text, have done a lot of online quizzes, and was even meeting with a tutor 2x a week for the past 5...
