Hesi practice exam on the site, study your fundamentals from lecture. It's very unlike your tests, but it's all the same info...presented differently. We couldn't study for it, other than what we knew or didn't already. I hit a 97.3 conversion 120...

How many nursing specific EBP items have possibly changed since the OP has learned it? I might think you'd have to run it all over again

Apologies if this is in the incorrect area...I searched and didn't quite find the right area. Background- I'm a mid thirties nursing student in an program with a voracious reputation for reducing the cohort to very little, very quickly. As a result ...

I have, my PHCP is a NP and had no issues with my labs, or my dietary change. As stated (by her, with a specialty in genetics) our bodies have the ability to run off of more than one type of metabolism, I just run off of a less than conventional wis...

The LPN seems like a step in the wrong direction as a student in my opinion, no delegation, limited assessment, educative, care planning etc... I'm not seeing where it would help you on the NCLEX as we study for it

Second that. Anatomy and Physiology 1 & 2 were nothing compared to the first Nursing courses, simple mnemonics and rote memorization was all you needed to make an A in all but the most elite of universities (where they are weeding out the meek e...

Tycho. Awake, and Tycho. Dive

Second exam is in the record books, 5 clinical rotations with satisfactory results (and some genuine enjoyment from them), and six successful skills check offs in our SIM lab- and I'm still here....and almost flourishing....almost. 1) Regardless of...

I'm puzzled, your on lexapro and concerta; probably long enough know their effects on your body throughout the day. You can get motivated to do something 'fun' but not something like read your text between 23:00-23:30? No offence, but it sounds li...

The starting base pay is the same in this area. We have to run/pass the CNA 1 course as a program requirement, and I'm enjoying the clinical experience. Strong interviewing skills can help increase that base pay as well. Now, would I perform that ...

I smoked for 13 years, then quit cold-turkey 4 years ago. I used it to cope with stress, calm my nerves, and gear up before something...I told myself. Truth is I had done the same action for so long, all I really did via smoking was avoid dealing wi...

I've had a CCW for 14 years and will carry as an RN (once I'm through school). Just because I know how to help save lives does not mean I have to lay my life down without a fight- I also vehemently respect others that choose not to carry, and see ...

36, Married 12 years with a 9 year old and a 2 year old. Accepted last week to my school of choice after 3 semesters of crazy-paced pre-nursing classes. Already turned in resignation papers for the fall. Here we go!

I'm in the same boat, and leaving my position after this semester. My wife and I have been trimming the fat out of our expenses like that $140 Time Warner Cable bill, fancy TP (we'll miss you) and such. All of our vehicles are paid for, but I would...

Great work!! I just recieved my acceptance letter too, and have our first orientation meeting this coming week...can't wait to see the whole group!

92 seems to be a solid HESI A2 score, I got just above that and decided it was enough to give my re-test seat to another student and the admissions officer said my score was extremely high. Good work!!

[ QUOTE=feathersRN] The whole program was one semester Not sure I understand these programs either, although I keep hearing about them. If the BSN "difference" is the higher-order thinking, and its application toward increased patient care, throu...

I did both general Chemistry 1&2 in the first summer, the focus of the summer intensity...lecture, study, test, repeat- worked well. A&P 1&2 pace on a 16 week is too long and slow...LOL

4 total remaining...all during the summer for one last mad push!!

That depends on the type of RN to BSN program right? One local hospital offers a bridge program through a university (which I hear various things about) that is supposed to.take 1 class per week, witn no addition core educational classes (no additio...

I did equally well on both, but for a visual-kinesthetic learner (me) being able to touch and manipulate the skeleton made a huge difference in the rate I learned bones, whereas I just had to memorize the muscles. I did come up with a way by diagram...

So, just to play devils advocate for my own critical thinking process...how is it, that with the 1st amendment in place, anyone can cause me to lose anything within a nursing program? I am entitled to my opinion in this country still, right? Unless...

Glad you asked this...since it kind of saved me from doing it- I'm in a similar position and already had to drop almost all of my AM running routine (and I'm paying heavily for it with the poor diet and increased cortisol associated with the program)...

My pre-admissions requirements are to pass the CNA 1 course and or have an active listing on the NA 1 registry. Recently we were told to expect $8-$8.50 per hour average pay for the area as an NA 1, So most of the class scoffed (myself included) at ...

What aspects of the grammar section, ie- what concepts are confusing you?
