Y'all making me nervous about the dosage calculations course, I'm in the middle of taking it right now. I'm just strolling my way through it and taking notes like crazy. I will be starting A&P II, Nursing Patho, and Microbiology (ALL ONLINE) on Monday so this semester will be packed for me... plus I work a corp job full-time and have two children ages (10 & 3). Please pray for me. lol

Wow, that seems pretty high. I'm guessing you did well on your Hesi exam. I just started studying for the Hesi about 2 weeks ago, but with the fall semester classes that started it's hard to find enough time to study for it. I'll be taking the Hesi next week for the first time. Any advice?

Yes I scored a 90 on the Hesi. Here's some info you can study. Math is pretty easy lots and lots of ratios, fractions, percentages. Memorize conversion values like 1 KG= G. If you study the vocabulary in the Hesi books it's pretty helpful. Your given the vocabulary word in a sentence and you need to select the definition. The following is what you will see in the exam:if there are 89 people in school and 7:8 are women, how amny are in school?

Here are some sample questions I remember:

If a recipe asks for 3 eggs and the pan holds 18 eggs... how many batches can you make?

drink 4 ounces milk, orange and coffee, how much in ml? convert ounces to ml

if you run 3 laps...each lap is 500 meters....how many kilometers?

6 commitee people are baking cakes- each cake has 24 servings... 70 students and 3 staff...how many cakes will they need?

I am submitting my application tomorrow! I finished all my pre-reqs with the hesi score of 88.

I didn't try to retake the Hesi because I might get lower score on my English part!

good luck everyone!

Before the interview, there's an essay that needs to be written and you are given 10 minutes to hand write it. I was curious if anybody had heard about any topics from other semesters?

I took my dosage back in May and got a 94 the second try. It really wasn't that difficult, just basic math but with a lot of steps and conversions. Biggest thing is take your time because it's easy to make a little mistake that will mess up your results a few steps later in the calculation. It actually took me longer to finish my dosage exam than it did my HESI lol. Good luck!

Thank you! I just passed my HESI with a 96.4 and then freaked out when I noticed the critical thinking portion listed on the HESI info sheet.
