One of my students in my phlebotomy class told me the wonderful news. She was accepted to the ITT Registered Nursing Program. She has been trying to get into many nursing programs in the greater metro Detroit area without success, due to a two to five year wait list. She had also explained to me that when she first took the TEAS test she scored a 73%. When she came into my school to inquire about the phlebotomy program, she explained that she had already acheived a Bachelor Degree and wanted to find an expedited nursing program. What a surprise. A student had just came in a few hours earlier that day and explained that there was a expedited nursing program offered by ITT that was not even being advertised. Long story short, when my student came in to inquire about the program, she was delighted to hear about the nursing program at ITT, now all she had to do was to pass the TEAS with a higher score. Once again, we all wonder how things work out. She was delighted once more to hear about the book entitled,Pass The NET®, The First Time” , by Nancy L. Kimmel RN PhD.  Both she and her friend purchased copies.  Well lo and behold, what a wonderful surprise when she came to class and announced that she scored an 84% on the TEAS.  She explained that the dean of the nursing program was shocked and  surprised that a student was able to score so high on the TEAS.   The student stated that the Dean asked her how she was able to increase her score so dramatically.  The student replied, “I just studied Dr. Kimmel’s book, entitled, “Pass The NET, ®The First Time,” and showed the book to the Dean.  Moral of the story is the the book, entitled, “Pass The NET®, The First Time, is indeed a SECRET WEAPON to Passing The NET, The First Time.

                          

Hello Readers;
I have just invented an all natural product for the treatment of Eczema, age lines, and acne. It is called Volace’.® I had invented it originally to help people look younger. While it indeed does make people look younger by reducing pore size, softening and tightening skin, it also had a surprise side effect. It takes away eczema. It is truly amazing. It costs a bit to make, but it is totally natural. I can ship it overnight refrigerated, and it will keep for up to a week.

Directions for Application: First cleanse face, arms, back, or wherever the application is going to be applied. Then rub in small amounts to the area in circular motion. Keep rubbing while increasing the layers on the area until there is a thick application over the area, at least 4 to 5 millimeters in thickness. Leave on for 45 minutes. Many describe feeling a tightening, warm, tingling sensation along with a pulling effect. Wash off gently, this is going to take a while to take off the area so be patient, the results are worth the wait. Gently massage the skin to take off the application with warm or cool water. Also, this will stick to the hair, so please wear a band around the hair line when applying to the face. Volunteer subjects stated that they felt the application still working days after treatment. They described their face as feeling warm a day or two after treatment. This application was also tried on acne. While it did not have as dramatic results as facial rejuvenation or eliminating eczema, it did reduce acne considerably.

If you would like to try a one week application please give me a call at 313-575-1214. I will need you to fill out a disclaimer and a food allergy questionnaire. This is very exciting, and I am looking forward to help all those out there with troublesome and unsightly eczema and in helping those to look younger, have softer skin and less acne and the disappearance of eczema.  I will be scanning in the testimonials of the volunteers in a few days. I look forward to all your feedback.

The one week application is $20.00, and is approximately 12 oz., shipping and handling is not included.

The reading comprehension section on the NET, TEAS, HESI A2 and the TEAS test can very frustrating for those taking the test for the first time.  It is highly recommended that students prepare for each of these tests.  Finding the right preparatory materials is not that easy.  Using study guides such as GRE or even the actual study guides produced by the corporations that offer the tests are not sufficient.  The book entitled, Pass The NET ™ will indeed help the student pass the reading comprehension.  The book offers students insight into what the actual test is attempting to illicit in regards to  critical thinking skills.  It doesn’t matter if the student has a 4.0 grade point average coming into the test.  Many of these students do not pass on the first try.  This is not very encouraging, however, there is hope.  The tutorial study guide, Pass The NET™ give the student all the pertinent information needed to be able to meet the desired passing score and beyond.  Basically what the tutorial consists of  are complete reading passages developed to cover biology, nursing and psychology.  These passages are actually longer than the passages that the student will have to read on the exam.  The questions that follow challenge the student to deduce the main theme of the passage, the main topic, authors view point and many other minuscule subtle inferences that are necessary to comprehend.  The student will get inside information on exactly what the nursing schools are looking for in the overall reading comprehension scores.

These nursing entrance exams are attempting to determine whether or not the student has sufficient critical thinking, and analytical skills in reading comprehension.  It stands to reason that the school would need to know such information based on the difficulty of the rigorous nursing curriculum.  Students need to be prepared for the reading comprehension.  The book, Pass The NET ™ will help the student be prepared and confident, as well as pass the first time.

Dearborn Heights MI.
Author Nancy L. Kimmel RN, PhD, CHMM, CPI, CNAT has been officially awarded a trade mark on the name of her book entitled, PASS THE NET™. 

Professor Kimmel’s book is already in its fourth printing at Henry Ford Community College and on its third printing at Wayne County Community College.  Having a registered trade mark will now allow Professor Kimmel to reach out to the rest of the U.S. higher institutions of learning for book sales.  Very soon Professor Kimmels book, Pass The NET will be offered for sale on such reputable sites such as Amazon, Borders and Barnes and Noble.   This is a very exciting time for Professor Kimmel.  She has spent many years of tutoring and teaching students to pass the net, (nursing entrance test), HESI, HESI A2 and the TEAS to students in South Eastern MI.  She has received much praise and accolades from her students stating that her book has helped them to pass the Nursing Entrance Test, the HESI, the HESI A2 and the TEAS tests with higher than required scores.  One student who just recently sat for the TEAS test, stated that Professors Kimmel’s book helped her score into the Registered Nurse Program at ITT in Dearborn, MI.  Her scores were in the high 80’s.  The nursing program would only take those who scored the highest on the TEAS Test.  Now she will start her Registered Nursing Program in one month.

“Helping students gain entry into the nursing program is my goal.  I believe that there are many wonderful people who should be given the best opportunity possible to pass the various nursing entrance tests that are required throughout the U.S.  Students must be given complete and comprehensive study materials that represent the tests that they will take.  My book, Pass The NET, will not only challenge their intellect, but simulate their critical thinking skills and give them the necessary and pertinent information to help them pass the nursing entrance tests.”

Professor Kimmel’s trade mark is just one addition to her repertoire of degrees and awards.  Professor Kimmel was issued a Patent recently as well on a revolutionary air filter that can actually make a molecule of oxygen.  As Professor Kimmel continues to be an ardent educator and author, she states that her goals are far from complete, “I hope to  develop a website designed for nurses and those students desiring to become nurses that allow them to access many educational portals to assist them in their career goals.”

One of the biggest hurdles that students find in applying to nursing schools, is that now it is not enough to just pass the net.  Now they must score in a sufficiently high percentile to be able to gain entrance into nursing school.  With all of the other books that are on the market, Professor Kimmel’s, Pass The NET is certainly the best choice for students who are serious about pass nursing entrance tests with the highest scores possible.  Professor Kimmel also has a website dedicated to online testing that parallels the material in her book.  The website is www.nurseslearningcenter.com/testing
“Professor Kimmel, congratulations on your first U.S. Trademark on We will definitely be hearing again from you soon no doubt.”

Students who call me have very intense apprehension about taking the Nursing Entrance Test. I have spent many hours with students on the phone talking with them and helping to give them the confidence that they need to pass. Unfortunately they find my material after they have failed the NET the first or second time. This is a very important test. Let no one tell you different. Therefore the student needs the most up to date and comprehensive materials to help them PASS the First Time. As a professor, nurse, and author, I have spent many years developing The Nursing Entrance Tutorial material in an easy to understand fashion. I feel so bad for students who are given a small book to study that does not even prepare them for what is on the test. Students must be very careful what they choose to be their study guide. I have lectured on the steps to Pass The NET in Michigan and have tutored many nursing pre nursing students to success. I am in your corner.

Studying for The N.E.T., during Pregnancy

Studying for a career in nursing is challenging. Even more challenging is the fact that you may be pregnant while going to school. If so, then you are one of many that are embracing the total you and trying to make the most of who you are during this joyous time. There are however some stress levels that can harm you if you are not careful. Especially if you are studying to pass the Nursing Entrance Test. This is a very stressful test. If you are not sure whether or not you are pregnant, you may be unknowingly harming yourself by not eating, or sleeping properly. Staying up long hours trying to prepare for the nursing entrance test, the HESI or the TEAS Test can cause many untoward side effects. Therefore it is important to develop good study habits and learn how to handle the stress of nursing school.
Some women just know when they are expecting, without any outward signs and symptoms. But for the majority of women, most do not know immediately. While the market is inundated with pregnancy test kits, there are still some tell tale signs that a women can look for to determine whether or not she is pregnant. Some of the tell tale signs of pregnancy are the following: (note that not all signs occur at the same intervals and some signs are not a perceptible in all women.)
1. Fatigue; (many women experience the feeling of fatigue as one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. The overwhelming sense of tiredness, where you just don’t want to do anything or just can’t.)
2. Breast enlargement; (as the fetus develops, hormones surge through the women’s body and increase the breast size.) Women may also notice a slight tingling or itching of the breasts. The areola become more darkened and enlarged, and the nipples are very sensitive.
3. Vaginal discharge; (sometimes there is a clear or mucous type vaginal discharge) Women feel that this might be a yeast infection, but there is no odor or itching. This is just the body’s way of telling the women that she is pregnant and has lots of hormones working a peak levels.
4. Cessation of the first menstrual cycle. For most women, they know when they miss their first period that they are probably pregnant. Although, now with the many different types of birth control, some women do not have periods for several months. Those women who have, “periods like a clock”, usually know for sure when they miss their first period or it doesn’t arrive on time.
5. Abdominal fullness; Women may notice that their stomach feels more full, or they cannot hold it in as deep as they did a few weeks prior. The skin may itch as well.
6. Hunger: This is a big one, an increase in appetite. All of a sudden you are eating extra helpings, and finishing everything on your plate. (overeating prior to a test is not uncommon and can cause unwanted extra pounds.)
7. Nausea: Sometimes this symptom may occur rapidly. Though it is a common occurrence, vomiting along with the nausea may cause dehydration and rupture of blood vessels. (It is very hard to study or concentrate while nauseated)
Above are some of the tell tale signs of pregnancy. If you think that you might be pregnant then you should make an appointment to see your doctor right away. Good prenatal care is essential in the development of a healthy baby. For those mothers without health insurance, there are participating state programs just for mothers and babies, to ensure that every woman enjoys a healthy pregnancy and a healthy career as a nursing student.
To ease some of the stress associated with going to school and being pregnant, just go to The Nurses Learning Center to enjoy online practice tests that will help you prepare to pass the HESI, the NET or the TEASE nursing entrance test.

Study Tips for the Nursing Entrance Test.

Are you one of those test takers that have to have a bag of chips or popcorn next to you while you study? Well if you are, then you are one of many that have developed this habit over the years. One habit that is extremely hard to break. Overeating prior to testing for the Nursing Entrance Test, the HESI or the TEAS Test, may make you feel better but it won’t necessarily raise your score. Overeating is not the healthy way to study.
A lot of people are overweight today. Obesity is due to various factors that have integrated of a person’s life, not to mention the fact that there is also a genetic predisposition to being overweight. Our society does not help those who are obese. Models that are paper thin are touted as beautiful, beer is advertised and many types of foods that are empty in necessary vitamins but high in calories. Therefore anytime someone comes up with a quick fix to weight loss, there is band wagon of customers willing to try anything. Unfortunately, some of these products interact with blood pressure meds, and can be very dangerous to the heart and kidneys. Fast weight loss is not the answer. The so called, “quick fix” is a false statement that many are led to believe is fact. The body is a miraculous machine which can adapt to many different environments and eating adjustments. Those people who have been struggling with a weight problem for years have to understand that it is going to take perhaps years to take off the weight and to learn how to adjust to a new lifestyle. Losing weight is as much mental as it is physical. Just a alcoholics must religiously attend AA meetings, the overweight individual must also surround themselves with mentors and stimulation to keep up a new style of life and eating habits. It has been proven that excess weight can cause a plethora of health related problems, such as high cholesterol, heart disease, lung problems, and varicose veins. People who are obese also suffer from anxiety, stress and low self esteem. Not all obese people suffer from these aliments, but there are many. Society does not help their plight at all. A support group is especially crucial for the obese person to remain strong and committed to their new routine. Knowing that they can contact someone at all hours of the day and night helps to relieve the day to day stress associated with eating disorders and anxiety attacks.
The obese person should first begin the mental commitment to change in life and eating habits. Any type of change requires that one accept the change and then adapt to the change. It does not help when there are other family members who are overweight. The gradual change in choosing the right types of foods becomes harder when those in the home continue to have poor eating habits. This can tempt the overweight person. Beginning the journey to weight loss can begin with a simple statement of, “today I am going to begin an new lifestyle”, or “Today, I will not eat 1 candy bar.” As the obese person gradually is able to meet the small challenges, they can increase their repertoire to greater challenges. Accomplishing the small steps are the most important at first. One may say that they will go up and down a flight of stairs twice. Once they actually do it they can increase their goals daily. The overweight person gains confidence when they meet their daily goals. This building of confidence will help them to achieve their ultimate goal of lifetime fitness.
Building confidence without snacks is the first goal that one should try to achieve before studying for the N.E.T. If one must have some type of oral fixation, then try broccoli or cauliflower with a diet ranch dip. Even low fat crackers are better than high calorie snacks.
Best wishes and good health while you study.

Dance Your Way to Passing The N.E.T.
By Nancy Kimmel RN, PhD, CHMM, CNAT, CPI (ACA), NHA

Yes, you may think this rather funny. The reality is that dance is a great way to relieve stress. Therefore, if you relieve the stress, you have a better chance at passing the nursing entrance test.
One does not have to be a prima ballerina to enjoy the health benefits of dance. Dance comes in many styles, and most of us at one time or another danced to our own drum. Moving to music is a natural way of staying healthy, losing weight and keeping fit, and lowering your stress level.

One is never too old to begin dancing their way to fitness. The nice thing about dancing is that a person does not have to go by a structured routine. You can make up your own routine as you go along. Put on your favorite music and dance. It is a good idea to have your own space, just in case someone walks in and surprises you. Don’t be embarrassed. You are doing something that is fun and achieves a goal of good health. Dancing helps the cardiovascular system, circulation and balance.

The warm up; prior to your own routine you should do some warm up exercises. These exercises include leg stretches, arm stretches and back stretches. Begin by sitting on the floor, use a pillow for comfort, and spread your legs like the letter V. Now lean from side to side and keep it up until you feel the muscles in your legs begin to stretch. Next, lift your arm over your head as you stretch from side to side, trying to bring your arm all the way over and touch your knees. Keep this up for twenty minutes of so, until your leg muscles warm up. For back stretches, you can simply use your kitchen counter and hold on to the counter while you lean back. Don’t lean too far, only to the point that is comfortable for you. Once you are done stretching you are ready to dance. What do you do if you never learned to dance? Just make up your dance. As you listen to your favorite music try to keep the beat to the music. Listen to the rhythms, and move your body with the beats. At first you may feel awkward, but then you will begin to develop your own rhythm expression. It is lots of fun. As you continue this as a daily routine, you will soon see results. You will have more energy, feel more fit, and breathe better. Daily adherence to a dance routine will help you feel more confident and also build muscle strength.

Choose different types of music after you feel comfortable with body rhythm movements. It is very exciting to listen to different genres of music from various countries and cultures. You may even find yourself making your own unique dance routines. There are many places to go if you want to learn dance. There are classes for toddler to seniors. Have fun and live life a bit happier with DANCE!

Ballet is one of the hardest dances out there but it can give your body benefits especially in keeping it fit. Aside from being a wonderful form of art, more and more people are taking ballet classes because the training can help them achieve the body frame they want.
Unlike in other dances that involve free movements, ballet requires precise steps and specific movements. This mastery in precise movements can only be achieved when you undergo training with various ballet techniques. These techniques are composed of well-defined positions and flexible movements, which are standard in most ballet schools.
Not that you have to go to ballet school before sitting for the nursing entrance test. However, dancing is the best way to relieve stress and get limber for the three hours of testing that await those getting ready to pass either the N.E.T., the TEASE Test or the H.E.S.I..
