I agree with the above comments. Get involved with patient care as much as possible, give the staff the impression you are motivated to learn. Treat everyone on the floor with respect. Sometimes the...
Try Hurst Review if you haven't yet. I wouldn't say everything on the review you'll get tested on however the review does a good job going over core content. I also used PDA by LaCharity. The book...

Our school suggested us read the blue HESI book prior to every HESI we took. Honestly some people did well as far as class grades but sucked at HESIs. My HESI scores went up with every HESI exam I...
Cograts, your story is very inspirational! I recently took the NCLEX and went through all 265 questions! I was mentally drained by the time I reached 200 but the man upstairs kept telling me to hang...
