Greetings!!

I know this is an LPN/LVN corner and I am posting here because this is the program I am looking to get into (hopefully in September). So, I had started out taking classes geared towards the ADN Program but decided that the LVN path was better (time wise and earning wise too). I have already taken English Comp 1, Comp 2, Psychology, Human Growth and Development, Biology, Speech and Elementary Algebra. Now, I just got a new job as a Tech working nights at a hospital nearby - 3 12hr shifts a week. I want to know if the school work load I am picking is too much? I plan on taking introductory Algebra in a short 3 week mini class from 16th Dec to January, then for the Spring Semester take A&P1, Nutrition, Intermediate Algebra and Medical Terminology and for the Summer Semester take A&P 2 and Microbiology.

Also, I am also required to sit for the HESI entrance exam in one of the schools I have applied to (the one I'm taking the above mentioned classes in) - any pointers to that would be appreciated. I took the TEAS V test last year in Boston but apparently didn't meet the pass rate for that school :( - bummer! Then I bumped into this other school when I moved to Texas and they actually said that I performed well enough and got 20 points already on that! Yay! :) Now this school works with points and they told me all other classes I take will give me points that will raise my chances of getting into the program. So I know for sure if I pass my "pre-req's" well, I will get into that school's LVN program. However, I still also want to apply to the other school but I am required to take the HESI test first..and can't take it till I have met their requirements (reason why I am taking the math classes). How is the HESI entrance exam? Is it super complicated? Sorry if I sound all over the place :)

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

If you go to the student section of this site there are forums for both the TEAS and HESI Entrance Exam that offer a lot of information. There is also a pre-nursing student forum and an LPN/LVN student forum that you may find the answers you seek

Good luck
