    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    rob4546 replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    This is a matter of personal preference. I took the Kaplan and the HESI and felt neither was terribly hard. I also felt the NCLEX was much easier than either Kaplan or HESI, but again this is my...

    Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    We had to post our powerpoints in the discussion forum and give feedback and responses on each other's projects. Must have changed since you were in that

    Cheating

    rob4546 replied to Elain7's topic in General Students

    How do you know that there was cheating? I graduated little over a year ago and we also used HESI tests throughout school and no two people in class had the same test. The test bank in which the...

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    rob4546 replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    I think you guessed wrong. I think you will find that these tests are quite common, your predicament is not all that unlike what others face. In my program we had to take either a HESI or Kaplan...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I loved this class for this reason. I got to see the work submitted by my fellow classmates. There were some that were pretty good but then there were a few that did not even meet the criteria for a...

    What do you do for the CAT? I have not heard of this of it isn't an alternate discussion

    I think they are the alternate discussion topics. I have heard that some instructors make them mandatory. Every class I have had that includes them made them alternate and worth participation...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    The two classes I liked the most were statistics and nursing research. Maybe because I think I learned the most because they were only briefly taught in my ADN program. No Skype or video yet, lot of...

    Grand Canyon University RN to BSN Reviews

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I hear what you are saying and I don't really know the solution to this problem. I never got less than a 'A' in the CLC projects for the mere fact that I usually take charge and make sure it is...

    Truck Driver wanna be nurse

    rob4546 replied to gradof2025's topic in General Students

    This is really doable! I went back to school for my RN nearly 4 years ago at 41 years of age. It was a little harder getting back in the rhythm of studying but I over came pretty quickly. Not bad...

    Why become a Hospital PCT/PCA/CNA while in NS?

    rob4546 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Yes, very amusing. I do not like people that take both sides of the argument, they always think they are

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    I think I would have like this as well. If I would have studied for certification in my new specialty then I would have learned more about my job and how to do it better. I plan on tackling this...

    Ethics: Where more than one third of your grade is tied into the last week of class and you spend the following week waiting to see if you got an 'A' or even passed.... I shouldn't be thinking about...

    Quit during orientation

    rob4546 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    What an opportunity you missed. When you applied for this job what did you think it would entail? I wont argue with you that being a tech is a hard job and I have great respect for the techs I have...

    so not looking farward spirituality

    rob4546 replied to tranquillita's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I don't think that the OP is worried about the religious content, just commenting on the structure of the class. I am in this program and this is my next class as well. The class is paper heavy,...

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    This is it exactly! I believe that my facility and other like it do not understand the market value of BSNs. Most of the nurses at my facility obtain other jobs once they get their BSN. I for one...

    Yep, already finished my first margarita. Submitting my final stuff for ethics but still have to call my advisor and tell her I am not taking Spirituality right now. Better do this before the second...

    I think that I will take my chances with another instructor at a later date. The time off is necessary to recharge my batteries. You know I have had unknown instructors and even one instructor that...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    This is ridiculous! The course only costs 1600.00 and effort on our part. I find it fairly easy to write papers with less than 5% similarity score and get near perfect grades. It is just time...

    Who remembers the first week in Spirituality? Here is my dilemma..... I planned a 2 week break to start after this week due to being burned out and a small family vacation. I found out that I have...

    Has anyone taken nutrition?

    rob4546 replied to xyoshira's topic in General Students

    I don't know if it would make sense. The first job you have wont care that you took it. The information would help you on the NCLEX and during your practice. If you know a little about nutrition...

    I hear what you are saying but I had a question. Do you think that you are absorbing more of the information because you have your BSN after a full and rewarding career? Think of it as a nursing...
