B&N had free 2 day shipping as well.

Wow, that was a super blonde moment for me. I looked it up also, and ordered it from Barnes and Nobles. $39 new and then I got 1-3 day shipping because my test is on the 20th so it better get here in time. :)

Thanks so much, yes I'd like rationales better than just sitting and reading the textbook. JustKeepSmiling- I LOVE your username!! Know of any rationale books for F/E?

I'm having a Fluid/Electrolytes, Perioperative Care and IV therapy test soon. I think I have a grips on F/E but I want some testing questions to try out. I know the orange NCLEX book by Mosby has some F/E questions but I want more. Any help?

Can I jump in on this conversation?? I'm applying to Darton college with a 3.04 GPA, what are my chances of getting in? Also I will be taking core classes in January once or if accepted and will apply for Nursing for May in Thomasville. What are my chance of getting in? I guess since application for May nursing is November to February, my core that I'll take at Darton wont count? I sent in my application last Thursday and they should be getting my transcripts tomorrow, will I find out soon? I'm going to be a transfer student.

Would you recommend taking Fitness 2 online? It's about cardiovascular health, nutrition? You don't have to travel to Darton do you?

Also, will all of my credits transfer? I've taken all of my core except for PE, Govt and MedTerm

Thanks so much

I'm going to take 3 core classes in January. Can you tell me where I could find a schedule of classes for spring 2011? Med term, Govt and PE.

I heard they were "losing accreditatiom", come to find out they are just having an evaluation. The lady who emailed me back said they've never lost accreditation and are just having their reaccreditation next month. Am I okay to apply?

Can we bring this back to life?!?! Anyone in the program now and if so, are there still positive aspects? I'm thinking of transferring out of SWGTC and into Darton.

I need help with a dilemma. You've heard of the HESI I'm sure. At the tech college I'm attending now, every quarter you take the HESI and HAVE to make 850 or greater. You get 2 attempts. If you don't pass after the 2nd attempt then you fail the class. You can only fail 2 classes before you can't attend nursing school for 5 yrs and must then do LPN and bridge to RN. I've failed Med/Surg once, had an 82 in the class overall and the HESI couldn't pass because we weren't taught the material through the quarter. 824 first try, 751 second try. I'm thinking of transferring college. The other college I want to attend is on the semester system. They do have HESI's every semester but it isn't pass or fail. It's 850 or greater 100% and below 850 is 70%, just calculated into your average and as long as you have a 70 including tests/HESI you're good to go. If I transferred I'd have to start all over. I need to take 3 core classes and then retake Fundmentals and Health Assessment and Med/surg. I am going to go ahead and take Med/Surg starting October 5th and see how it goes. In the tech college I'm at, I have 8 more HESI's to take and pass, one mistake and I'm done for 5 yrs. I'm applying for the May class which I'm assuming is Pharm, Fundamentals and even though the college is in another city an hour away, the classes and clinicals are in my town. I'll take my 3 core classes in January. I have a part time job also. What would you do?

Are there any available? I think that would help me A LOT.

Im glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. In my nursing program of 2 yrs, you take 8 HESI's, 1 midcurricular and 1 Exit HESI and must make 850 on all of them. Sucks. I will never promote people go to this college. We've complained and wrote letters but nobody cares.

Who has to make 850's or better on the HESI's? At my school you are required to make 850 or better every quarter. What do you think about the HESI? I think if you are taught the material needed to pass the HESI then that's great. If you're not taught what you need to know during the quarter for the HESI, it sucks big time. I don't think a student should be passed/failed solely on the HESI. I had an 82 average in Med/Surg. Tests: 73,74,83,84,96 and couldn't pass the HESI. I am now required to retake the class and HESI.
