My Nursing Education

The student who is sitting for the NURSING ENTRANCE TEST needs to remember that they must not bring any previous knowledge into answering the questions. The passage will be on a computer screen and the student must scroll through out the passage until finally arriving at the questions. Time yourself on the passage below.

Childhood behavioral disorders such as ADD and ADHD have been are on the rise. It is important for parents to realize that children are not fully developed with respect to their bone growth and metabolism as adults. Just as an expectant mother’s deficiency in folic acid can lead to defects in the newborns neural tube, so can metal ions and complex organic compounds cause damage to a child’s bones, liver, kidneys and neurotransmitters. Why should we as parents, educators and doctors treat the symptoms of the above mentioned disorders with more chemicals in the form of pills? It is interesting to look at what are some of the chemicals that go into foods that we consume regularly. Below is a list of some of the food additives taken from Casarett and Doull’s Toxicology, The Basic Science of Poisons, 4th Ed.,McGraw Hill copyright, 1991. Page 823. Read more »

So you are thinking about your career or next career as a nurse. Your first hurtle is to pass the Nursing Entrance Test, the HESI or the TEAS TEST. The next step is nursing school. What then? Well, there are many avenues that nurses can take other than hospital or long term care nursing. There is the field of professional nurse medical expert.
The primary role of the nurse medical expert is to offer up their opinion to the jury in a fair and balanced manner. Nurses with specialty experience and training are more often called in as medical experts in many cases.  This is a upcoming field in the realm known as forensic nursing.  Forensic nursing is a relatively new medical practice that combines elements of law enforcement with health care. Forensic nurses may treat victims of violent crime, perform crime scene investigations or work as detectives in a clinical setting to help police catch and convict perpetrators. One of the most important duties in forensic nursing is assisting in the physical and emotional recovery of patients while protecting their rights.  The wealth and breadth of nursing experience in their field of specialty is widely accepted as testimony. Nurses are used in hotly contested legal proceedings, both sides have bias and both want to win. The goal of the nurse medical expert is to showcase his or her knowledge in an impartial way. However, this is difficult in some cases, especially since each side often hires its own medical expert, and the medical expert is collecting his paycheck from the attorney, who has a clear and strong bias.

Online practice for the HESI, the TEAS, and the N.E.T.

Taking the nursing entrance test can be very stressful.  Preparation is key to successfully passing the N.E.T..  Students can now get all of the practice that they will need to pass the NET.  with a new online tutorial that simulates the computerized version of the Nursing Entrance Test.  Whether the student is preparing for the H.E.S.I., the TEAS, or the NET, they will find up to date similar tests at the Nurses Learning Center.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for students preparing for the nursing entrance test to find adequate preparatory materials that will give them the edge that they need to pass with qualifying scores.  Just passing the nursing entrance test is no longer enough to get into nursing school.  Now students are required to pass with a high score to be able to compete with the throngs of others taking the N.E.T.  How are student’s able to to this, if there is not sufficient preparatory material specifically tailored to the many tests currently required by nursing schools?  Look no farther.  At the Nurses Learning Center, the student will find that they have all of the preparation that they need to be able to pass with high scores and increase their chances of being first on the list for nursing school.

At the Nurses Learning Center the student will have access to tests such as Anatomy and Physiology, Biology, Chemistry, English Grammar, Math and Reading Comprehension. They will have access to all of the tests and answers without ever having to worry that their access will be denied after a set number of hours or days, like many of the actual test centers require.

The Nurses Learning Center provides the student with unlimited access to all of the tests for as long as the student needs, without a cut off date. The fee for accessing the tests is nominal and the student will get new questions added on a daily basis.

Students are able to take tests of their choice, and they can decide whether to take a timed exam or an un-timed exam. It is proven that test preparation that is similar to the actual test increases students scores. Not only will the student increase their scores, but they will have the most accurate testing information that is as close to the actual test material allowed.

There are over one thousand questions and answers on all of the topics. The student can feel assured that they have the correct answer because all of the answers are completely explained so that the student can follow the reasoning and formulas. The student can keep track of their scores to see how they are improving and thus build their confidence and skill level. This is the very first tutorial of its kind that gives the student unlimited access and full control of how they choose to study.

The program helps to increase the students critical thinking skills. The questions include much of the nursing process which the student will study in their first semester of nursing. This is why the program is superior to many other paper study guides. Just using guides that prepare students for graduate school will not help the student pass the Nursing Entrance Test. The student needs to study material that reflects applicable knowledge to their career in nursing. The student will see from the questions in the online nursing entrance test that the questions are far from random, but actually are based on concepts covered in the students first year of nursing school.

Students that are older learners can feel confident when taking the online tests that they will have sufficient and complete explanations to all of their questions so that they can improve their skills to a level that will build confidence. Many people are choosing nursing as a career today. With so many going into nursing, schools are now raising the bar for those taking the nursing entrance test
The nurses learning center will help students gain that extra edge and points needed to score into nursing school.
