   Yes you are correct. The same people who make the HESI make the NCLEX, so studying for either one of those is the same. I suggest getting this one (Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN® Examination, 6e (Saunders Comprehensive Review for Ncl...

   The instructor you guys will be getting for Fundamentals is...very egotistical to say the least. I suggest you guys not work very hard on the article you will be assigned because she gave everybody a 80 (which is a C in nursing school). Also if you s...

   Oh yea, that reminds me...you're only allowed to wear the thin cotton warm up jacket to clincials. You cannot wear the fleece one unless youre at school. I'm only saying this because they did not let us know and (of course) a lot of people bought the...

    That really depends on you to be honest. After the first 6 weeks most people have quit their jobs. I know a few that only have to work once or twice a month, and even that can get pretty crazy. If you handle pressure well and think you can do it- you...

    Hey everybody do not expect for the schedule to stay this way. You wont know until your first day of class what your schedule is. For Fundamentals (and later for Concepts) you will go to school two days a week. Lab once a week. Clinicals twice a week...
