Charity's HESI sections?

[Sydlie]

Hey out there! I'm going to be taking the HESI-A2 next month in order to apply to Charity School of Nursing & in my looking online for information on the test, I've seen people at other schools mentioning which sections of the test they'd be required to take. Apparently some schools only require Math, Reading and Vocab while others additionally require things like Physics, Chemistry and A&P. I've looked all over Charity's & Delgado's websites with no luck, I even asked at the testing center when I scheduled my test date and the girl working there didn't have a clue. I've ordered 3 different study guides, but if I'm only going to be tested on 3 subjects, I'd rather not study for 6.

And so I ask you, my predecessors in the program, if any of you might know where I can find what subjects I'll be tested on or if you remember what the HESI covered (I know many of you took the TEAS, which had geology???) Any other advise or wisdom you may have wouldn't be turned down!

Thank you in advance

I would finish all of your prereqs first. That's what the school recommends. I finished all of them, and I called the school to see what else would help me, and they recommended Med Term, Adv Med Term, and Human Diseases so taking the last 2 this semester. Applying next month for Fall 2012. I took the HESI in August, and scored an 85. The website will not let us give any info about specifics of the test; however, the book from the Delgado bookstore is awesome to help prepare you. I did all of the practice questions for all of the sections. I also bought "Anatomy for Dummies" from B&N because the a&p section in the HESI book does not go into detail and it had been awhile since I took those classes. For the Grammar section, you either know or you don't....it's not something that you can learn over night. Also, you'll get extra pts on the profile sheet if you finish all of your prereqs (15 pts).

Thank u very much for the info. I was thinking about purchasing the anatomy for dummies. I have taken med term already. I just need micro, my other math a&p 2 , and english 102. My main problem i think will be math like fractions and conversions its been so long..., but im hoping for at least an 85 on the hesi! Congrats on your grade and on getting in. I may still apply in december and hope for the best. I just hate to wait until may to apply when there may be a chance i can start in august of 2012. I can always re apply.

i would apply it doesnt hurt plus even if you apply you have to wait 2 semesters before start of nursing. So many people wait until they finish everything and then you sit around with no classes to take. I applied in Dec 2011, we will be notified in April for a start date of Aug 2012. That means 2 semesters of waiting.
