Hi Danilu! Sorry to drudge up an old post, but I would also love some info on your company! I'm in Texas and that does sound like a dream nursing school job! I would be forever grateful if you had...

Yes!! I was there. I was thrilled to learn that I passed it the first time too! That was all I had left to do! I'm ready to turn in my app, so I went yesterday and they aren't taking them until...

I would just continue to read and re-read the English/comprehension section in the HESI book and take the practice tests over and over. For me, if I don't understand a word or concept, I look it up...

Yes the new system dropped my points slightly too! The dosage calc course is a lot of studying- make sure you pay extra attention to conversions and IV calculations. But once you get it, you get it. I...

Well, that's good news to hear! I was so surprised with the change in the point system but it seemed to work out in my favor (fingers crossed!) Are you studying out of the HESI book? I felt as though...

Because you have to complete them before the application date for them to count (thus figuring how many points you get for each one based on your final grade) and I won't be done with them until

Here is the link to the Brookhaven Fall 2014 applicants page.. it is really helpful. Long, but worth the read for us hopefuls! I am hoping this thread will also turn into such a supportive thread!...

Good for you! You know, I am not positive how competitive the program is. All of the insight I have is from reading the other threads here on allnurses regarding the Brookhaven program. The Brookhaven...
I hope your first day of class was great!! I am applying with 28 points.. and they have changed the point system this go 'round as far as which pre reqs are assigned how many points, etc etc. It's...
Mamatwinx, sorry for the multiple posts/questions- you are the only resource I can seem to find on here! When you turned in your application, did you include a cover letter or anything of the sort?...
AH, thanks for the info! That doesn't bode well for me.. I can't imagine taking more classes right now to get my CNA certification. Hopefully I will still be able to find a flexible job that will work...

Yeah! They are SO helpful! I was really pleasantly surprised and it really took the edge off for me. Thanks for the insight, I am hoping I can ace it Saturday and then turn in my application on...

Ahh, yay! It's more than just me! I was losing faith in this post:) HAve you stopped into the nursing office to go over your packet, etc etc? I did just last week and man do I feel relieved and more...
You are right! I have been working so hard! Sorry to pick your brain so much, but do you have to have special training or certs for applying for a patient care tech position? I think that's what I am...

Hi dianah! I haven't been accepted... yet, but am hoping I will be! I am also hoping this post will attract other fall '15 hopefuls so we can have a little support system!
Hi Mamatwinx, thank you for your reply! I also cannot afford not to work, I am my sole provider and always have been. Unfortunately my job does not offer flexible hours, so I am thinking I will have...
