As far as prioritizing and answering questions and my rationales! The test questions get harder and clinicals are harder... you do way more!! I still was thinking as I was in first or second semester! The expectations are higher third and fourth seme...

Also like the last post study ...read.... and make sure you take the hesi tests serious because those are points that could make a huge difference! Keep good notes and ask questions ! Find a good study group preferably a small Group of people who are...
I do apologize I read part of post early and assumed by the start that you did well! Don't let this minor set back deter you! Failing does not mean your not intelligent! I finished with quite a few people who repeated a semester and they are still su...
It depends on what you want. If your young, no kids, no real bills then maybe you can take the time and go straight through RN. I became an LPN because I never had a career in health care, I wanted to make decent money, I had a child a husband and we...
Just was accepted to the ADN RN program at Erie Community College Williamsville campus. I was just wanting to get some insight on past or current students from the program. I'm currently an LPN and have done so much research on the school.. . But I ...
If you are in the LPN track there is no clinical in level 1. There is clinical in level 2 though. I find out my clinical schedule in a couple weeks. But regular level one students do have clinical.

I got my prior degree from GCC. They are a great school. My sister goes there. Its competitive and hard but she loves it. They are strict in their process for admission from what I heard from people who go there.

Well that's good you can knock out a class. Will the school allow you to come back for the bridge? Would it would be easier to bridge there where they know you then try to bridge with that in your history? I'm glad you decided to stick with nursin...
