Currently, I work 3 12's and got offered a position to work 8-430 M-F with no weekends or holidays. The nursing job is different and sounds interesting & the pay is equal. Im having such a hard time weighing out what is a better shift. Hard to...

I bought the study guide but I have heard it is not much help when preparing for this test. I will be taking it in Nov at MCC. I was wondering if anyone bought "Hesi Test Secrets" from Morrison Media. It is $40, but it is worth it? Any study advic...

I am trying to decide if I should attend Baker in Clinton Twp. or Macomb C.C. I hear it takes about 2-3 years to get into the rn program at Macomb. Baker sounds like your chances are a little better as long as you keep your GPA above 3.8 and score w...

My mother in law was in hospice care and one night while she was sleeping, my husband was with her in the room. She starting saying, "What's going to happen? How many people are going to die? Oh my gosh, No!" She never woke up and died the next m...

I was going to order through skyscape, but not sure exactly what to get. Nsg constellation plus or just the regular one? Anything else in addition? What would you recommend? Thanks

I just noticed some free downloads on skyscape. Has anyone found any that are beneficial?

Someone entered it into the computer, then I had to go the admissions office to pick up the registration paperwork.

I registered for the 1600's & went to the nsg office this morning & they registered me for the 1700's. It was very frustrating and was up all night too. Last night, the clinical I wanted said it was full, so this morning I dropped the class...

That poor little girl! She should be dreaming about Christmas right now. It sickens me that someone could hurt an innocent child like that. God bless you for helping her!

If working out was a priority before school, then you will make the time to do it. I wake up at 4:30 AM & workout. I record my lectures on my MP3 & listen to them. Also, I have a bike & stair stepper at home that I use when I read. Mo...

Eating healthy is a lot of work in the beginning. You need to plan and organize. Usually on Sunday, I plan out what we will have each night. Be prepared to stop at the store a few times a week to pick up fresh fruits and veggies. I bought a food ...

Call me crazy but I get up at 4:30 am and go to the gym or workout at home. Also, I record lectures on my mp3 and listen to them at night while I walk on my treadmill, bike ride.

Where do you test you bs? I use my fingers & test about 10 times a day. Now that I am starting the RN program, I'm thinking I should let my fingers heal and use alternate sites. Where else do you test?

Hi, I started ns last week! The reading seems endless. I have been highlighting in the book, but to go back through the stack of books to find highlights seems time consuming. Taking notes seems time consuming. I am looking for some tips. Thanks!

I ordered mine from allheart. I dont know if we need a specific type, but I ordered a white background with my name in blue to match those lovely scrubs. lol

I get worried about not being able to eat. Are you able to put a granola bar or life savers in a pocket? I always have to lower basal rates when I am on the go. Like today, I was shopping all day & didn't bolus before lunch plus turned off pum...

I have an interview this week. I did the questionaire online and got a call a couple of days later.

I record all my lectures on my MP3. I rarely study notes but instead listen to the lectures when I cook, clean, shop, drive, and workout. I have taught myself to be an audio learner which works out great because I can get a lot more done.

Hi Hoot, Take your GPA x 25 and divide by 2. Take Hesi score & divide by 2, then add them.

Opps, posted twice. Sorry.

The Hesi scores may be higher, but if the lowest combined score this year is 93. Last year, the overall scores were a lot higher because I had a 93.50 combined score and ranked 233. Best chance to get in is score high on Hesi & high GPA. I thi...

They wouldn't give me my score yesterday am. Just curious, what was your GPA & hesi score? I'd like to get an idea where I might have ranked. Thanks & congrats!

I got in!! I'm so excited. See you on May 14th!

If they mail them tommorrow, most should get them on Saturday (I hope). I bet they want letters to arrive on a weekend. They probably dont want a bunch of upset, disappointed people who dont get in going to the school complaining or worse. You nev...
