    Can't pass HESI, but graduated

    Kuriin replied to lifeofk's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The BRN (at least in California) only requires the roster from the school that shows they are ELIGIBLE to graduate. In order to receive the results and license, you must have shown that you have...

    Can't pass HESI, but graduated

    Kuriin replied to lifeofk's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    If your school requires an exit HESI (or any other exit exam) in order to graduate, then you technically did not "graduate". How do you propose giving your diploma to your future employer if you...

    Help with lab values?

    Kuriin replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am always intrigued as to why students -- or people in general -- post these threads in this manner. Do you actually talk to someone in real life the way you post? If so, I would imagine you would...

    Failed the 2nd time

    Kuriin replied to JasmineA's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Graduating with Honors Diploma?

    Kuriin replied to sfisher6448's topic in General Students

    Having honors is always better than not having honors. I am assuming you are talking about applications for

    For Those of You Who Were Accepted Into BSN Programs With No CNA Experience

    Kuriin replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    Interesting that you are failing the skills portion of the CNA test. Are you aware that you will be required to get most of those skills checked off in a skills lab in an exam mode

    Kuriin replied to scrublyfe's topic in General Students

    Know your sepsis, MI, and stroke protocols, as well as all of the labs and specific mnemonics and medicines. Know how to prioritize and delegate as the nurse managers may give you 4+ patients and you...

    Phlebotomy certification or pharmacy tech?

    Kuriin replied to loyap's topic in General Students

    Pharmacy tech. Being surrounded by all medicines will help you in the

    High TEAS test scores, low GPA

    Kuriin replied to nurse2bnat94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your GPA may be overlooked depending on your personal statement as well as your volunteer

    Owi stupid mistake. Where to go from here?

    Kuriin replied to Sarahlin's topic in General Students

    Wow. I think I would be pretty ticked off if I had to pay for my clinical placement, and especially more so if it turned out to be such a piss poor semester. I guess I have heard everything,

    CA BRN No NCLEX Result

    Kuriin replied to xrnx's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One of my classmates told me that Pearson sent her information to the BRN with her name in all caps rather than just the first letter of the first and last name. The BRN would not open this because it...

    Owi stupid mistake. Where to go from here?

    Kuriin replied to Sarahlin's topic in General Students

    Hospitals that you get placed in do not do background checks. Can you imagine how much that would cost each semester? The only people who will do background checks will be employment and your school....

    Titers for Admission

    Kuriin replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    OP previously said their measles was non-immune which means that you would most likely not be allowed to participate in a pediatric rotation. You also have the misunderstanding that just because...

    Free diagnostic tests for NCLEX-RN

    Kuriin replied to mariavj1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You've done NCLEX twice already and have yet to try Kaplan? Why not just buy it? Otherwise, I'm sure you can Google for tests on

    How to not be "that guy"

    Kuriin replied to Trama_junky's topic in General Students

    We had a student in our cohort who had been a CNA for many, many years and so had plenty of medical experience. Lets just say he kept rehashing the fact that he was a CNA. I think as long as you word...

    Titers for Admission

    Kuriin replied to CodeBrownQueen's topic in General Students

    It's not only a school policy, but also a hospital policy. You may have issues with clinical placement in the future in the event that you decline an immunization without a good reason. Definitely a...

    Help with wordings?

    Kuriin replied to blueLearning's topic in General Students

    Ermm...I'm going to have to side with the student on this one. Assessments look fine. OP may not be using abbreviations of someone in the medical field, but that doesn't matter. As long as you have...

    Bad at conversation

    Kuriin replied to Sudi93's topic in General Students

    Many people have this issue. I would recommend volunteering or finding work in a spot where you are required to communicate. I volunteered at a clinic for STI and counseling and learned how to counsel...

    University of San Francisco Fall 2016 BSN Program

    Kuriin replied to sm1211's topic in School, College Programs

    We started with approximately 110 and graduated with approximately 70? Some people failed the first tough class which is MedSurg and then again in Pediatrics/Maternity. Where are your clinicals? I'll...

    Is this a standard requirement?

    Kuriin replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, haha. Will do. (mcg per min/mL/hr) x (mcg in fluid / total volume) = x. Typically they want to find mL/hr so this would be X. So if it would say mg/hour in the order (often does), it would...

    University of San Francisco Fall 2016 BSN Program

    Kuriin replied to sm1211's topic in School, College Programs

    The HESIs are generally easy until MedSurg and Psych. Those are the two that seem to be the weakest subjects for people (from what I have seen while tutoring). I think buying the book (the...

    Is this a standard requirement?

    Kuriin replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tutor for med calc, HESI, and NCLEX. There's one formula that I love teaching and a bunch of students have said it's really made things easy: mcg/min mcg in fluid mL/hr = total...

    University of San Francisco Fall 2016 BSN Program

    Kuriin replied to sm1211's topic in School, College Programs

    Very strong applicant. They love people who have experience already -- however, from time to time, people who are CNAs or LVNs come in thinking they are better than everyone due to that experience....
