Tidewater Community College Nursing Fall 2019

Late reply but yeah I’m wearing mine today

I applied for spring 2020 admission and i'm waiting on a letter! i know you all just started in August, but what is some advice that you new nursing students can give me? ?

Does anyone know if physics is on the hesi or not?

It is not for Tidewater. All other subjects are included. Ask any other questions!

Okay cool thank you so much..I was confused about that because it says that it’s on the hesi in the details..I have a C in bio 141 and Bio 150 do you think I’ll get accepted into the program? I’ve taken all co and pre requisite i have Bs and As..excluding bio 142 im taking it in the summer

It just depends on the semester. They award points for your grades and HESI. The highest scores get the spots until they are gone. Most students this semester have A's and B's in everything and above an 82 on HESI, all pre-reqs and most but not all co-reqs. But last semester I didn't get in with a 4.0 and a 95 on the HESI but was missing one co-req. So it just depends....

You will be okay as long as you score high on your hesi. I got a C in micro and C in a and p 1 and a 95.14 on my hesi and I got in. Just study a lot. Even though its basic stuff, it's all on there, so I studied for a solid 2 months. As cwalker said, the average was an 82 for our semester and the semester before that I believe was an 80

How did you study did you purchase a study book..I have one trivium test prep

I used the Elsevier HESI test prep book and every online practice test I could find. I also used the Hesi prep app and bought the full version. I practiced questions everyday and studied last year over Christmas break for about a month. I would spend hours a day reviewing and practicing. Some have done it with much less study but I knew I wanted a high grade.

did the app help you a lot?

Which study source was the most helpful

There was really no one thing that prepared me better than another. But I think doing a variety of questions...and a lot of them was what helped. I did study the book well but the test was more in depth than the book. But start with the review book. Pay special attention to math and grammar and vocab. I think the book was most helpful there Anatomy was more in depth in the test. Multiple questions on the urinary system especially. Biology and chemistry was pretty basic so the book should help you there too. Then do as many practice questions you can. There are multiple free ones online. When are you taking the test?

I’m not sure yet I wanted to do it sometime before the 15 th of February so that I can apply but I’m not sure now I may have to wait for the next application period and study up as much as I can take it later on next month
