I know there are already a couple of posts for this school, but reading through the threads I didn't get all the information that I was looking for and considering that they are pretty old threads I made a new one because I didn't think anyone would look at those anymore. I've already completed all my prereqs at a community college, but I don't want to wait around forever to get into the community college rn program.
Anyways, I wanted to find out for those who are already in the program or have the info. What kind of studying should I do for their entrance exam? What kind of stuff comes in the tests. I also would like to know the cost or estimated cost of the school. And how do they go about choosing the students for the program? What exactly is the application process?
I've already called the school, but the lady that answered the phone wasn't able to give me much info except for that info sessions are in August and the program starts up again in January.
And if you are already in the program, I would like to know how to do you find the teachers to be?? Would you say that this is a good academic choice??
Please help me as I live really far away from this school and I am moving out there just for the program. It is a little difficult for me to just drive over to visit the school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey dulce!!! yeaa...i went on that website they gave us at orientation and bought the hesi flashcards. find any study guides??? and do you know if the hesi at everest includes all the sciences??
I've been working on my pre-reqs to get into MSMC, but Everest was one of my original first choices because its like 14miles away. However, when I first decided to go into nursing last year I never went to an Everest Info session. Seeing that you all have I have a few questions. Number 1, it seems as if Everest does info sessions twice a year, August and February, is this correct? If this is the case, I obviously waited to late to go to an info session for the 2011 Spring start, so i am willing to wait it out and go to the February info session for the Fall 2011 start(I wanna be the first to be there and take my test, etc.. You know, better my chances).
Also, I am confused about the pre-reqs. Now that i look at the package it seems as if the "normal" pre-reqs don't apply to this school. So when i go to the info session in Feb. the only pre-reqs i will be able to transfer are: English, A&PI, and Micro. How will me not having all the pre-reqs affect my time? Or is this program designed to have you in and out in two years including the pre-reqs? If that is the case coming in with a few pre-reqs should shorten the time, right?
It doesn't shorten the time. If your coming in with some of the pre-reqs done then it only reduces your work load per semester. so say the first semester they give a&p1 if you have that already you will not need to take it with them so that would be one less class you'd have to take.
Hey Long!! sorry to hear youre going through the application process once again, but good luck! do you think that the hesi will be similar to the psb rn? im taking it sept 7th...oh so nervous!!
I am in the program already. But I took the PSB test. They gave us a packet with sample questions. If you didnt get one ask maybe they can give you an idea of what to study. I got questions in math, reading, spelling, science. I studied right out of a nursing test guide. there also online sites to prepare for test.
Hi everyone, im new here. Just want to wish everyone the best of luck in the exam. I will be taking the exam on the 15th of september @ 8AM. Believe me, Im nervous.
Hi everyone ,new to the site but love all the info. I am taking the hesi a2 on friday (sept 10). Anyone out there already take it last week. Would love to know how you felt about it. I will write back after I take mine.
yes i will definetly come back and tell you guys how it all went. Like I said before, i am really nervous. Just studying makes me nervous, because I look at everything that I need to learn and yet I have only one week left before the test. Being a mommy of 3 babies and studying is really hard. But im crossing my fingers, this is something ive been wanting to do since I was fifteen. I wish everyone the best!!!!
I took the hesi exam at everest today. I was in the absolute first testing session for the upcoming term and to work with the new test. First and foremost you can borrow the hessi a2 for free from west coast university for 2 weeks if u sign up to take ur tests there. which i did to get the book but am not going there lol.
Everything on the test can pretty much be from what is in the hesi book. we tested in multiple areas:
1. math
2. reading comprehension
3. grammar
4. vocabulary
5. anatomy and physiology
6. biology
7. chemistry
in addition there were 2 personality/ learning style tests to take.
YOU ONLY NEED TO KNOW ALL THE MATH AND ENGLISH TESTS AND PASS ALL THOSE SUBJECTS TO MOVE ON TO THE INTERVIEW PROCESS!
The science scores only need to be of a passing score if u are planning on transferring over those particular science classes. there are no other tests to be taken after this. The hesi basically combined everything for them.
I did pass the test with flying colors and will hopefully be starting in january 11. Good luck to all!
thank you so much jmira for posting on your experience with the test. i take my friday and hope to do as well as you:). Perhaps we will see each other in class.
