Edited: Sorry, wrong post.

I have to admit this made me laugh. I had no idea that ANY kind of nursing (outside of movies and TV) is glamorous.

By CSCC, do you mean Columbus State Community College? If you do, please be sure to check with Health & Human Services advising because I believe if you don't pass it the 2nd time with at least a 75, you cannot apply to the nursing program at al...

So I saw this previous post about shoes to wear for overweight nurses & students. I'm going to look into some of the suggestions, but after so long some of the links are dead and there could be new styles from new people. I hope y'all don't mind...

Thank you. I appreciate it.

You can do this!

I'm starting an ADN program in 3 weeks so I'll be reading every word posted in this thread. Thanks to everyone who participates.

Honestly, I've read a lot of threads here and many of them have to do with things that are overheard by nurses. Things they've heard doctors say, families of patients say, etc and I can't recall anyone being castigated about eavesdropping before quit...

I think this sounds like a great idea. Also, I'm not a nurse yet but a few of my best friends are nurses. One of them went straight from nursing school to working at an insurance company doing case management. She makes as much money as the other n...

I saw this today and thought of this thread... 29 Very Successful People Who Didn’t Make It Big Until Later in Life - Mic

I *so* love this and may steal it :)

I have to admit, that made me laugh out loud when I read it. I'm easily amused but a good old emphatic "YOUR DUMB" is one of the internet's little gifts.

I've been accepted to my program and will start in August. I won't consider myself a nursing student until the first day of class. Right now I'm pre-nursing in my mind but I don't have any issue with someone who is in my same boat considering thems...

When I took mine we were not allowed to bring a calculator, but there was a basic calculator built into the testing program that you were able to utilize. Good luck!

My program required that we take a CNA class and become state tested, but we don't have to actually BE a CNA. I don't have any professional experience (I took care of both of my grandparents - one w/Alzheimer's and bedbound) and at orientation my nu...

My program starts in August and they told us in our orientation that we actually won't have textbooks at all. We're getting software only to the tune of $1300 for the first semester and then $800 for the 2nd semester. Supposedly after that, no more...

Congrats to you! I'm starting my program in the fall as well so I know how excited you must be. Have you had an orientation yet? You might want to hold off until you do before you starting buying too much. Each program is different, and I think th...

One of the most important books I've ever read. I think it should be mandatory reading for every high school student in America.

Math isn't my favorite, but I thought the math part was pretty easy. It's pretty basic math: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, percents, and ratios. There are practice tests: Free HESI A2 Test Prep - HESI A2 Practice Tes...

I agree with both commenters before me. The moment you decide you want to be a nurse you have to take all classes seriously. You're applying to get into a competitive program no matter where you apply. THEY won't care why you didn't do well, only ...

Wow, he does sound like kind of a jackass oaf. While the first example shows signs of him being completely tone deaf to cultures other than his own (most likely because of the privilege has has and doesn't consider), I'm not sure it would rise to d...

Edited: Never mind, not worth arguing about.

I've not heard of any schools making you take the part over that you failed, but you might want to check with your school to be sure. The information I've seen from most schools is that you have to pass with a cumulative score of 75. So, in that ca...

Chemistry, anatomy/physiology, reading, math, vocabulary, grammar, and biology. There are practice guides and tests here: HESI A2 Practice Test - Free HESI Exam Practice Questions and here Free HESI A2 Test Prep - HESI A2 Practice Test I also loo...

Congrats! Good luck.
