I have completed 2 years of nursing school with all A's and B's. However, I am unable to pass the exit HESI and unable to graduate and sit for the NLCEX. I have taken the HESI 6 times and have scored between 805-830 until this last time. I score an e...

I do not go to a school in PA. I am in Florida. Unfortunately, the HESI is not banned here.

I have studying using the evolve website, Kaplan review, and yourbestgrade.com

Hello everyone, I am getting very close to being able to apply for a nursing job. I would love for someone to critique the resume that I have put together so far....... The format is a bit messed up when I post it here, but I am more concerned with t...

Hello ashden, Most of my clinicals were at TMH. I am now doing clinicals at Florida State Hospital for my Mental Health rotation. Overall I am enjoying the program. I am half way through my 7th quarter out of 9. I graduate in June 2014.

Congrats! I am also a Nurse Extern. I work as a PCT and a Unit Secretary. I have learned a lot in the past 6 months. I plan on working at this hospital after I pass the NCLEX in June. My only suggestion is to learn to go with the flow. I am learning ...

I just got a job as a Nurse Extern. I am in nursing school and will be doing Patient Care at my job. I am grateful for the experience that I am going get working. The pay is not the best, but the knowledge is priceless. I now have my foot in the door...

We had to buy ours from Dove. If I remember correctly for 1 top and 1 bottoms it was $53.00. That included all embroidery and shipping. A lab coat is optional. If we want to wear a shirt under it has to be any plain white shirt. Did you ever find ou...

Happy New Year everyone..... I just wanted to share that I start clinicals on Monday, Jan 7 and I am nervous and excited at the same time. I have done very well in school so far, I really hope I don't freeze in the clinical setting. I am ready to ...

I survived my first day of clinicals. YAY!!! The nurse I was assigned to never even said "Boo" to me. I never once spoke to her. When I introduced myself she said hello and then I never saw her again. The one and only patient I was assigned to was ...

All the job posting that I see in my area say nothing about school, they say "FL Licensed Registered Nurse". Doesn't say anything about an AS degree or BS degree. Sometimes they require at least one year hospital experience. I was told by my school ...

I was involved in everything....I was in Student Council, the mascot for our football team (I didn't have enough time to attend cheerleading practice), SADD President, Exchangettes member, Peer Counseling are the things I can think of off the top of ...

I am in my 4th quarter out of 9 quarters. This will be my very first time in the hospital. We have done LOTS of lab time, but nothing on really people. lol!!!

I can only speak for my nursing school and we are not allowed to have any tattoos showing. They must be covered. We also have to have our hair colored in a natural hair color, pulled off the face. We have a lab uniform and a clinical uniform that we...

In my school a C is failing. You have to have at least an 80% (B) to move on to the next class. Most students are high B's. Good luck to you. Just remember to do the best you can do! :)

Congratulations!

I confronted one of my instructors today. I was NOT very tactful in the way I handled myself. I have been bothered/annoyed by this instructor for 2 quarters now and today was our final. I received my grade and when most of the class was out of the ro...

That is a bit harsh don't you think? I am fully aware that everyone talks to everyone in my school. There is no number to be had. What I guess I left out of the first post was I was NOT offended by his language it was the way he was acting and has a...

This instructor was told/asked to not continually use that language. What he would do is use foul langauage and then agree that he knows it bothers us. Still I agree that it does not make what I did any better.

I made a 877 on my Fundamental HESI. Our school wants a 850. We were told to study a HESI NCLEX-RN Examination book. It helped me a little, but we are fortunate we get some HESI styled questions on our tests. I am not sure what books your school u...

Thank you MedChica and everyone for your words. I have given what happen yesterday A LOT of thought. I am going to use this as a lesson. I am by far a meek and mild girl. But I do need to learn the art of keeping my mouth shut and picking my battl...

Nothing to be nervous about. If you just go to class, take notes and stay interested you should do fine. All the instructors seem to be very friendly and available to assist when needed. Good luck and welcome...... PS. Get involved in the Scrub Cl...

I just went the Truthaboutnursing.com website and I have to be honest that I think that I have never thought that much about how nurses are being protrayed in tv shows or commercials. I am not at all offended by the 'naughty nurse' costumes or the ...

We can meet with our instructor one on one to see our exam/quizzes. I don't like it either. I want to see what I missed and have time to review what I missed to learn from my mistakes. I think they (the school) are afraid that the tests will get out ...
