I live near Dallas Tx and wanted to know if anyone could tell me where to find a Hesi study guide? I don't have a credit card to purchase one online. I've just begun the Rn program and at the end of the year, we must pass the Hesi before we can take the nclex-Rn. I know that it's a little early, but I wanted to get a head start. If anyone could help me, I would be very appreciative.
Why don't you check with the Brookhaven Community College library. They keep copies of the entrance HESI at their reference desk to use in the library. You could only use it in the library but I was able to make copies of the areas I needed to study more.
The students at Brookhaven also have to take the exit HESI so maybe they have a copy of it as well. I would also check with the libraries at El Centro and Northlake. I bet a few phone calls could get you what you needed.
I got mine on www.hesitest.com Maybe you can call them and ask if you can send a money order. Or you can get one on ebay (sometimes) and pay with paypal or money order.
My school also had to take Hesi, and we had to buy the CD and studyguide on our own. In my opinion, if it's mandatory to take a ceartain test for your school-the school should provide the study materials, especially for Hesi. I would ask your nursing chairperson if they could provide you with a studyguide.
I used the NCLEX-PN to study for the HESSI test in my LVN program (it served me and prepared me well got a 1045 on exit HESSI) and am doing the same with the NCLEX-RN to study for the HESSI test in the RN program.
Why don't you call HESI and see if you can purchase it with a check or money order. You really need the book and it's never too early to study for HESI because it is really difficult.
I got mine online, but several of the students in my class got their's at our local Barnes and Noble, and most of the bookstores can order it for you if you have the ISBN. Hope this helps.
Hesi test.......This is the first I've heard of this test---can you tell me is this a mandatory for most RN programs? even the distant online ones, like Exelsior? Does it pertain to Nursing specifically?
I just read your comment and I just graduated in May from Montgomery College in Conroe, Texas. We too had to pass the Hesi before we could graduate. My school had a 4 day study session using the Hesi NCLEX book and workbook. I made a 979 on my Hesi Test. It was great for the purpose it served. Hope this helps.
