I'm taking mine on Monday too!! Good luck!

I take my test on Monday, these have been my hurst q-review scores so far (I've only taken 3): 71/125 (56%) 78/125 (62%) 69/125 (55%)

I am taking my NCLEX on Monday, June 13! Using HURST, ATI, and the NCLEX Mastery app. I'll let you know how it goes!

One of my best studying habits has been to highlight, like most everyone on here has said! However, I also type up my own study guides. I write down my notes in class and then I transfer them over onto a typed up study guide which really helps me study, and it also helps to put everything on one piece of paper so that I don't have to fumble around with books to figure out what to study. So many students in my classes have such a hard time studying because they have bad study habits, so I admire you for trying to improve! Good luck!

Hello everyone! I am going to be taking a CNA course this summer and love hearing about previous experiences with the school, exam, and clinical aspects of the course! If anyone has any fun/interesting/encouraging/just plain icky stories I would love to hear about them! There is a similar thread that someone posted telling their experience as a CNA at school and I found it very helpful and encouraging! I would just love to hear from all of you with experience! Thanks :)

I have not taken statistics yet, but I am currently in College Algebra. I am not particularly good at math, but college algebra has not been too challenging yet. I took an intermediate algebra class last semester which really helped refresh my memory and all of the knowledge from that class has proven to be extremely helpful in College Algebra. I would definitely recommend using ratemyprofessor.com and do your homework just like the other people have mentioned on this post! Also, look to see if any of the college algebra classes have a supplemental learning option which my school does (it's basically another student who is good at math and has passed the class who sits in the class with all the students but they have review sessions every day before or after class to help!) A math lab will help a lot too, they normally offer tutor sessions and help to anyone who asks! Good luck!

I would like to thank you for posting this! I am going to start my CNA class this summer and this helped give me knowledge about what to expect! Good luck and thanks again!

Yeah I think I am doing a clinical like you did at a nursing home! Thank you for your help!

What all do you learn in the CNA classes anyway?

Thank you!

Hello! I am taking the CNA courses this summer because they are required to apply for the nursing program at my school. I am pretty excited to take them, but am not sure exactly what I should be expecting academically. I have not yet taken any pre-reqs for the nursing program (Anatomy and Physiology, or Microbiology) and I am just wondering if any knowledge from these courses is required for the CNA courses/clinical? Thanks!

Thanks everyone! And determined_30 I am not so sure. I have not taken any college bio classes yet. My school requires me to have general bio and microbio so I am assuming thats what will be on the teas v.

I only took general biology in high school so I don't remember too much. My advice would be to google study guides or good books to help you! Thats what I have been doing to get me ready!

Thanks so much!

Well I guess I shouldn't say I am not fond of science. It was more of biology that I didn't like. I absolutely LOVED Chemistry (which isn't one of my prereqs ) and I think I will enjoy learning A&P but my main draw to nursing is helping people and I never thought that I could do it because I wasn't too good with blood but I recently shadowed my mom who is an RN and I really enjoyed it! After this semester (2nd one in college majoring in Hospitality and Tourism) I will be changing my major and finishing up my pre-reqs for nursing!
