    Hesi Mid-term Final

    Serhilda replied to txsRNstudent's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    You've probably taken the Hesi mid-curricular already, but I'll go ahead and say I do feel the Hesi RN review book helped me somewhat. The practice questions that came with the book were far more...

    School non academic dishonesty

    Serhilda replied to Midnightmocha's topic in General Students

    It sounds as if the fault falls mostly on your instructor, as it should. I would review every document you've signed that could potentially be relevant to this situation and review the syllabus as...

    History/Purpose of Hesi?

    Serhilda replied to eschellle5757's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    HESI exams tend to correlate with NCLEX passing rates and nursing school GPAs, from the research that I've seen, hence its importance. To be quite frank, HESI A2 is an incredibly simple exam compared...

    Professionalism Award at nursing school

    Serhilda replied to Familyde5's topic in General Students

    It's great that you're being so ambitious and it's only normal to feel bummed out when you don't reach all of your goals. Perhaps changing your perspective and future ambitions would make you happier....

    How did you decide on Nursing?

    Serhilda replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    A 50% pass rate for NCLEX is extremely poor and I'd highly suggest looking into other nursing programs. With your GPA, I'm sure you could find better. With regards to your questions about nursing...

    Taking Pharmacology before starting nursing school (Sierra College, Rocklin CA)?

    Serhilda replied to Todd94's topic in General Students

    It was extremely helpful and I cannot imagine starting nursing school without taking pharmacology! We had one student in our class of 40 that decided to take pharm alongside nursing school classes and...

    How to do amazing in nursing school?

    Serhilda replied to AspiringNurse0223's topic in General Students

    Knowing the physiology of the cardiovascular and respiratory system is incredibly important, I'd recommend knowing it like the back of your hand before nursing school starts. Pharmacology is also...

    repeating maternity

    Serhilda replied to nursingthings's topic in General Students

    Try different approaches to learning the material. If you only read the book last time, try reviewing power points and lectures on youtube in addition to reading. Review your notes a little bit...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    Serhilda replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    You know, it really sounds like a lot of these commenters would turn a blind eye to a coworker being high unless they were currently hurting a patient. Best to let that behavior go unnoticed and...

    Math requirement for RNs?

    Serhilda replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    While most of us can do simple math without a calculator, I personally feel it's best to always have a calculator on hand to double check your work, no matter how confident you may be. We're only...

    Male Student in OB Rotation

    Serhilda replied to dreblanco's topic in General Students

    Just so we're all clear, men are not victims of discrimination if a woman refuses to consent to you seeing her genitalia in any situation. Period. Their autonomy takes priority every single time and...

    Is nursing REALLY that difficult?

    Serhilda replied to lilythorburn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not "whiny," it's simply a fact of life as a nurse or nursing student from time to time. Many nurses and nursing students have managed to balance work and life but in my opinion, it takes time...

    How many semesters did you apply to nursing school before being accepted?

    Serhilda replied to Skippy97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got in my first try with a 4.0 plus a 94.5 on HESI. It took me 2 semesters to complete my pre-reqs. I was applying to the best ADN program around me though so it required higher entrance scores and...

    Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    Serhilda replied to Happymango's topic in General Students

    Often times an incident report and possibly an essay about patient safety, medication errors, etc would be required. The only student that's been removed from our nursing program had multiple HIPAA...

    Are your pre-req grades a predictor of your grades in nursing school?

    Serhilda replied to jss1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finishing up my first year of nursing school right now and from what I've seen, those that struggled in anatomy and physiology or microbiology are barely passing nursing school exams or failing...

    How much of the reading do you complete?

    Serhilda replied to Golfing Nurse's topic in General Students

    I do all the assigned reading. I don't know a single person in my class that's able to make straight A's without doing the reading either but it depends on the professors and the difficulty of the...

    How to survive Pre-nursing

    Serhilda replied to MsPerkins79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hate to be that nursing student, but I strongly feel a student's performance in prerequisite courses are accurately indicative of nursing school performance as well, to a certain degree. While...

    Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    Serhilda replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    She should be held accountable for her actions, accident or not. The comparisons other posters are making to a fender bender are great, in my opinion. Sure, it was your choice to own a laptop and...

    Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    Serhilda replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    I always felt it was a very privileged statement, saying nursing school is the hardest thing they've ever done. For me personally, getting out of childhood poverty and working for the mere opportunity...

    Quitting job during orientation?

    Serhilda replied to angieRN528's topic in General Nursing

    Why isn't the husband obligated to change his work schedule to take care of the kids? I would explore that possibility if I were

    HIPAA violation?

    Serhilda replied to zelda08's topic in General Students

    Well I think we know who the guilty party was now lol. OP, this absolutely was a violation of HIPAA in addition to being incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional. There's no room for people to be...

    Whistle blower/terminated

    Serhilda replied to CaliGena's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As the first poster mentioned, I would remove some of those details. May be in your best interest just in case. It sounds like pursuing an attorney was the right action to take here

    Serhilda replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

    This is something I think about a lot since both of my parents were like that. Heroin addicts resorting to opioid abuse whenever possible. I remember being resentful of nurses as a child because...
