I just got done with the HESI, It was an easier test than the TEAS test. WAY easier than the GRE if you have taken that. I didn't know the timer was for the entire test, so you could spend more time in areas that you needed. But I still had an hour and a half left and I went super slow. I got 90% reading comp, 94% math, 92% vocab. I'm still not sure which ones i missed on the test, but i thought it was easy. I studied from trivium test prep hesi a2 study guide 2015. The reading in that book were way harder than the actual test. Lots of the vocal was in that book, but most of it you already know anyways, so yeah. I was given 2 pieces of lamented paper with markers for my scratch paper. Calculator you could use whenever which was on the side. I would just recommend checking out books from the library to do some practices and read on each section to brush up on your skills. I studied for 3 days and then took it.

Well I'm from colorado, lived in utah to get bachelors, moved to kansas city for my chiropractic license, moved 3 times different places, ended up in washington state right now, but know I will be moving for school somewhere else.

I am trying to find prices for all the accelerated BSN programs that I can apply to this summer/fall. So far I have found the following the perk my interest. 1. Arkansas State - about 18,000 2. Wichita State - about 33,000 All others seem to be in the 50,000s. Does anyone know of any other programs that are in the lower range? I already have a bachelors degree and a doctorate in chiropractic, so I won't get any student loans. For that I need to find an inexpensive program. Thanks in advance.

Hello Nurses! So I am just writing you all because of my situation and need some comments, thoughts, or whatever you think might help. Let me start with my story. I am a 29 year old guy, married, and my wife is currently pregnant (yay!). So I went to chiropractic school and go my DC degree. I have worked for 3 years either for another doc or trying to start my own practice. Things were hard and me and my wife weren't happy. So I decided that I would go back to school to possibly become a nurse practitioner. I compared PA vs NP, and thought NP would be better for me. This is due to a combination of things, but really nursing has a more holistic view of things, which I like. I would be able to start working after getting my BSN, which helps us start making money sooner, and the end goal seemed a little more desirable for me than a PA. Anyways, it's kind of an embarrassing thing right now that the whole chiropractic thing just didn't work out for me, even though I really like what I do. My sister in law has her ADN and is very negative toward me going into nursing. My mom is a LPN for the last 40 years and she thinks I would do good going into nursing and she said even if working as an RN and not moving on would be good. So I am looking at programs to do an accelerated BSN in a year. I take TEAS V tomorrow, and will take HESI A2 later. I am working a job that pays nothing and just hanging on until i find out what school I can go to and for the least amount for tuition. I then hopefully want to get a job where they help you pay for schooling to move up to NP. Anyways, I'm just hoping this is what I need to do and I'm not sure if anyone might have known someone similar to my situation and might know what they ended up doing. Might help me understand a little more. Anyways. Thanks for reading. Brody

@Loque I am in the same position as you were. chiropractor going into nursing. Please update me and tell me what you ended up doing. I am looking at ABSN programs right now. [email protected] Thanks

Researched ABSN programs, and found a lot of them. Now trying to find the cheaper options as most of these programs are pricey. Now someone please let me know of possible options when I get my BSN. I have a DC as well, so where would be a nice area to go? Would it be to get nurse practitioner? How long would it take for that? Would I start working while I do that, or can I go straight into that program?

I'm looking for the best option for me to get this done the fastest and most inexpensive way I can. I can move to wherever to do it, but can't find anything that is clear on some of my options. With WGU can I get a BSN fairly quick and inexpensive?

Well I took a couple hours to read through all the comments, which I enjoyed and helped me a lot. Let me summarize some good options and then please let me know if I missed anything or am wrong about anything. WGU (Western Governors University) - Chiro to RN - Online classes but will need to do clinicals in California, Florida, Indiana, Texas, or Utah. Someone said it's fairly cheap and I'm still not sure on the length. Herzing University - I'm not sure on specifics, but someone mentioned there were many chiros in their classes. Samford University - I'm not sure of the specifics either, but have heard chiros going to nurse there as well. wayland baptist university - might not be continuing their program due to pass rates, but might start up again in 2016? Institute of Health Professions - Located in Florida. 12 month course chiro to RN. I'm still not sure the best way to go, but thought I'd some up some of the areas, anyone have any updated information on a good direction to do from DC?

Hello all, I am a DC and looking into other possibilities. Please let me know what all options you have thought of are. I'm 29 and still have all my chiro debt but this chiro thing just isn't going to make it for me. Thanks for your help in advance.
