7. Anyone take the HESI?

   nursemi replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI

   That is fine if the school made you aware of the Hesi exam during your orientation. Unfortunately, our school revised our policy and inserted HESI when we were in our second year. Now, we have to sign a contract that if we don't pass we repeat secon...

13. Anyone take the HESI?

    nursemi replied to geekgolightly's topic in HESI
