Alright guys. So I'm in my last semester of nursing school. In all my past semesters we have done Hesi exams at the end of each (most of them anyway) course. But this semester we have stopped doing Hesi's and are now using Kaplan. We are required to do weekly assigned...I think they are called Focused-Review quizzes, they are 30 questions each. The Kaplan exam we have to take at the end of the semester is worth 10% of our overall grade for each class, and with it being the first time our school has done this, I really don't know what to expect. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice for what I can do to prepare for it. And if it will be anything like the weekly kaplan/focused-review quizzes we have been taking. I have heard other nursing students talk about the Q-bank, but I haven't really messed around with that yet. Any advice or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi everyone, I have officially just applied to my first nursing school, Lakeview College of Nursing in Charleston, IL. I'm feeling decently confident about being accepted, but I'm pretty intimidated about nursing school. If anyone has any advice on what I can do to better prepare myself for it, or any wisdom at all about Lakeview I would much appreciate it! Also I would like to know if this particular school drug tests? I don't foresee it being an issue, however I think it would be best to at least be aware of things like that. THANKS!
