Scrubs are navy blue, it doesn't matter the style. Shoes for clinicals need to be leather, as for color, it will depend on your clinical instructor. Mine requires white leather. You can wear whatever tennis shoe you want to lab. You will receive an e...

Is it possible for the bg to have gotten so critical in 2 hours? I'm just trying to understand the reasoning for taking the extra 5 minutes to check it knowing the information from the 6:00am check. Thanks

I am a nursing student and was wondering if you could explain the glucose. It is my understanding that a glucose of 123 is not critical-in fact it is fairly normal for a diabetic, correct? If that's the case, what would have caused the blood sugar to...

This is what I have discovered so far; buy the patho book but buy the ebook. The books are big and bulky and hard to maneuver. Also buy the fundamentals book for care 1. You will also need the nursing diagnosis handbook and the lab book and pocket gu...

I literally have tears in my eyes. That was so beautiful. I am starting nursing school in August and I have been asking myself "do I really think I can do this at 44?" Your story gives me hope and inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing.

I started my prerequisites in 2014 at 42. I am now 44 and will start nursing school in August. I'll be 45 when I graduate and I plan on pursuing a masters at Baylor. This is your life you are talking about and you only get one. You don't want to wake...

I was in the same boat. 22 years ago I had a 1.25 gpa. I started working on my prerequisites again 2 years ago and brought my gpa up to a 3.52. The university I applied to only considered my prerequisite gpa, which was a 3.72. I found out on April 13...

I copied this from the website. You need, at minimum, 2.75 GPA or higher in the required 60 hours of nursing prerequisites and 3.0 or higher in the required science prerequisites, and yes if you repeat a class they take the highest grade. If you atte...

Do you drive in or take the bus? How many days a week are you actually in class and what time does your first class start? Thanks

I can't find the Facebook page either.

There is no traditional anymore-it is only pacesetter. Congratulations! I'm in too.

I just got in as well!!!! GPA 3.72 Hesi 93.2 CT 940

No, you don't need biology or learning styles. You just need A&P, math, vocabulary, reading comprehension, grammar and critical thinking. Some schools require everything, so when you take the test you have the option to take all sections. You jus...

What did you use to study? There are several study guides you can purchase, plus there is an app called Hesi A2 pocket prep that was very helpful. Good luck!

I have read other threads and it seems they start mid to late March through April 15th.

I agree with everyone else. It is more a waste of money than anything. Check out other programs. Surely the ADN program at your community college isn't the only one around. Most universities have BSN programs, you just really need to do your research...

How are we all going to get through the next 2 to 2 1/2 months without going crazy while we wait? I have emailed the registrar about transcript evaluations and if I was going to receive one, but no word yet. Has anyone thought about Houston Baptist U...

I found it easier believe it or not. The biggest difference is you can use a graphing calculator, and in fact there are some sections where you can't work the problems without it. I actually enjoyed math for the first time. I had a great professor an...

Good Morning Xipp, It's funny that you commented when you did as I had just gotten through the 2014 thread and read some of your posts. What time is your earliest class and do you commute or do you live close?

Hi Sheyhanis, I took my HESI on 12/21 and it didn't come off my to do list until January 5th. I wouldn't worry yet. Good luck!

Hi, Thanks so much for the information. If you had to go to class, what time did they normally start? Also, did you have classes everyday? Thanks so much!

Hello, I just applied to UTH for the fall 2016 semester. I took my HESI this past Monday and received a 92% in reading comp, 94% in grammar, 98% in vocabulary, 88% in A&P, and 94% in math. My cumulative score was 93.20%. My critical thinking scor...
