Hey guys! Well I just got back from taking the HESI.. and it went surprisingly well.. it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. The book did help, the anatomy questions weren't as intensive as I thought they would be. For the math section, the questions were pretty simple, at the place I took it, we got to use scratch paper, and there was a built in very simple calculator.. which was helpful. There were a lot of ratio-proportion questions so I would study that. The chemistry wasn't very bad.. just brush up on your general chemistry.. The anatomy was alright.. it wasn't too bad.. if you go with the book you should be fine.. Let me know how you do blessed.. good luck to you. :) :nurse:

I take mine for UMC next sat! I already took for another school and there were english to metric problems on there about four. I think they were about millimeters and ounces. Also, there were a few questions on Military Time!

Does anyone know if there is a list or anything of schools that require the Hesi A2? I currently live in Missouri but will be applying to nursing schools in Georgia which require the Hesi and trying to find somewhere in MO to take it by the end of the year. :banghead: Any help would be very much appreciated.

I think many schools require you to take the HESI at their school. I know the two schools I applied to did. GOOD LUCK!

I've been speaking with one of the advisors in their nursing department and she thought the school would be able to coordinate it where I could take before getting to school there but when I called the testing center as she suggested they said I could take it and have my results sent to them but didn't have any idea of where exactly I would be able to take it and suggested checking schools in my area. Unfortunately it looks like most of the schools in KC are using the TEAS.

The TEAS is completely different than the HESI or NET. It's a college readiness test (Test of Essestial Academic Skills). Many community colleges use it for their Health Care Programs (obviously, health care programs are rigorous and they want to make sure you have what it takes to be a 'college student with a health care major').

If you have a prior Bachelor's Degree, for instance, you do not have to take the TEAS (at least where I am going to nursing school).

There are different types of the HESI, from what I understand. My school uses the HESI Entrance Exam (instead of the NET). I have the study guide and it doesn't look bad at all (I say that now!). After reading this thread, I am going to find out if my school uses the HESI at intervals (as sort of a 'weeding out' process). I hope this helps! There's so much to consider.

the HESI preadmission test was easy.... but i'm sure a very big deal of people do good on that test
