HESI is the name of a testing company that offers nursing entrance exams, nursing exit exams, and specialty assessment exams. So 9 times out of 10 when someone refers to the HESI on this message board, they are talking about the exit exam. In this situation though, it sounds like the HESI entrance exam (which measures skills in math, vocabulary, reading comprehension, etc - as opposed to applied nursing knowledge) is actually what the school requires for admission.
