   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

   Sorry I've been MIA for a couple days. I've been studying! LOL! To answer a bunch of people's questions, it's not the bottom of the class in this situation. There are a couple of magna cum laude's in...

3. Who's at fault here?

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   So about a quarter of the graduating class at my school didn't reach the 925 benchmark for the Exit Hesi...TWICE. Who's to blame? The school for not adequately preparing people? Hesi for not providing...

4. Yep, I failed the HESI

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

   No I didn't pass it the second time and now my school is holding my degree hostage until I get the score they want me to get. I got an 868 the second time around so I've hired a private tutor....

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out. I took my exit Hesi today, to graduate my school requires 925, and I failed it....for the second time. My score is basically the same- 863 vs 868....

   Hi everyone. So yeah, like a whole bunch of the lovelies on here, I failed my exit. I got an 863 and I had to benchmark at 925. I'm really bummed. I got all of the math questions right, but the...

8. Working nights as a new grad?

   PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

   Hey all! I just got into a residency program and the way it works is that I follow a preceptor and then transition to a full-time night shift position. This is the way it's done regardless of the...

9. What should I be doing before the NCLEX?

   PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

   Yeah I mean that is what I figured. I doubt I'll be able to even secure a job. I have a month before the NCLEX but I'm worried of being caught up in a new job during that month instead of

10. What should I be doing before the NCLEX?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, I want to start this out with a disclaimer. I love my parents to pieces. Seriously. They rock. But, they are not nurses and really have no experience in the nursing world so they know little about...

11. Is this really worth it?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

    Just wondering if all of this is really worth it? Nursing school is super hard emotionally, physically, psychologically. I feel like every day I am being tested and it is exhausting. I know that I...

12. Encouragement?

    PerkyNurse55 posted a topic in General Students

14. Drunk and high students at clinical

    PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    So I looked in our student handbook and there are no guidelines for what students are supposed to do if they see any of this sort of thing going on. Literally, we have no guidelines. The CI is...

15. Drunk and high students at clinical

    PerkyNurse55 replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I was just so freaked to see people show up like that to clinical that I didn't know what to do. I'm new at this whole nursing thing so I just had no clue as to what to do. I hope the nurses...
