Anyone take the HESI?

Published

what was your score?

I took the HESI twice- The first time at the end of our first year and then right before graduation. The first time I got an 84.73. If we weren't in the 85th percentile we had to do review questions every week. Our grades didn't get rounded up so I spent a lot of time on the computer doing questions. The 2nd one I took before graduation I got a 91. If we didn't get in the 85th percentile we had to show proof that we were signed up for a review course. They say that if you score at least an 85 you have a 99% chance of passing boards but I don't think the HESI was anything like boards. the HESI was more like the NCLEX review books.

Did you think the HESI was harder???

Has anyone purchased the Mo-media.com software? I was wondering if it worked for anyone in regards to passing Hesi and or Nclex.

Let me know

Since we were unsuccessful we were told we could not attend our graduation pinning ceremony. Alot of us have families flying in from out of state and this has been devastating, alongside with the job opportunities we had.

I don't feel it is appropriate to take the Hesi exam based on the idea that if you don't pass it you cannot attend your graduation and cannot take the Ncelx exam nor even be hired as licensed pending RN. We sacrificied and worked extremely hard, and basically neglected our famillies for three years and we graduated. We should be able to take the state board now. It feels like we have to take two state boards with this Hesi exam. The Hesi exam is nothing like the NCLEX exam. I do over 200 nclex questions a day more on some days. The Hesi exam questions completely different from Nclex.and there software does not contain enough questions for you to practice on and I have already outdone the questions that it won't let me do anymore questions.

So if there is anyone who can help us with this please let me know.

I took my hesi this week and made over a 1000. I'm pretty sure you'll do fine...having done lots of questions and read their book. I finished all the questions on saunders CD. The hesi CD was very depressing for me so I just abandoned it. I read the hints in their book. I was told the CD was meant to stimulate you to study. I found out that the actual exam was a lot easier. More importantly, be very calm during the exam and read the questions and the answer choices carefully b/4 choosing. They are worded weird and very tricky. Make sure you get all the math questions. They would make a big different to your score. Know your math conversions. They are easy but also easy to miss. They gave us four hours. So, you'll have time.

Let us know how you did....All the best!

My beef with taking the Hesi exam is that their questions are absolutely out from the left field. No even close to the Nclex exam. Most of all my colleagues if they do not pass the Hesi exam at 87% after the second time they will need to repeat second year over again --- yes the entire second year. Can you believe the nightmare, if that doesn't get you I don't know what will. Our class did not even have the appropriate nursing instructors teach us, I mean one quit after three weeks of beginning semester the other one couldn't answer 80% of our questions and gave exams without lectures telling us we are adult learners and we should be self taught. Our school is a joke!! No wonder only 10% of our students pass.

I just took hesi it was horrible. I failed I got an 841 but the next exam is comming up so here I am studying again. The book and the cd did not help me at all, and the review which I took twice also was nothing like the test. When taking the test dont think that the cd answers are the right answers. With the drugs think bigger picture, and know about when to give muslims oral meds

forget repeating the whold year over, try getting to the end of your sr. year, and required to get a 900 and failing 3 times, and you are not able to obtain your degree. You could start from scratch or be a LPN, so 4 years out the window. Crazy, right?
