Brookhaven Fall 2019

Just took my HESI and I got a 94.40 (19.40 pts towards admission!). If you're taking it for the first time, don't stress out. It's super easy. I went to get my immunizations signed off on and apparently I need another varicella vaccine, so I'm getting that done on Tuesday. Then I think I'll be ready to apply! How is everyone else doing with their application?

What was on your AP and math exam? Did you take it at Brookhaven? I also need to get my immunizations signed off. I called he health center and no one answered, should I just go walk in?

Yes, I took it at Brookhaven. My AP consisted of questions about the skeletal system (ossification, bone location), some muscle locations, the anatomical directions, and some stuff on the urinary system. The math section is stupid easy - mostly proportions, simple operations with fractions, a few word problems, military time, conversions-the first time I took it, half of my questions were metric conversions. This time it was a lot of "how many ounces..." "how many gallons is 576 ounces" etc.

As far as the immunizations - I had been emailing Mildred about scheduling a day that I could come in and get my final Hep B shot. After the shot, she signed off on most of my immunizations. I plan on going back sometime next week after I get my chickenpox shot (again)...

Her email is [email protected]

My HESI is scheduled for Saturday, so I will be cramming for the next 24 hours. Fingers crossed that I do well. Everything else is done on my end.

You got this!

I joined a Hesi study group on FB. Some people even found the exact questions and answers on the HESI. Word for word. People also upload many study materials in the group files.

Do we know what version of the Hesi Brookhaven offers for the Hesi?

Apparently, there is a Version 1 and 2, which is true because if you look at your hesi report on elsevier, it tells you which version you took. Some people know what version they are taking before hand.

I don't see any version listed...the test I took yesterday hasn't shown up on elsevier yet. I know the reading portion was exactly the same as my first exam, but the other four sections were a little different.

How is everyone doing on points? Threads from previous application cycles gave us a pretty good indication on how many points were needed to get an interview. It seemed like people with ~34 points or above were selected for interviews. Now that they took away that awful critical thinking exam and lowered the minimum points needed to apply, we don't have anything to compare our points to... I also saw in another thread that Brookhaven accepted around 84 students for the Fall 2018 semester - does anyone know if they're going to be taking around the same amount of students this fall?

I studied all night, and only received ~2 hours of sleep. Fortunately, I received an 88.8 on my HESI, which should give me just enough points to apply this semester. I lost 3 points when they removed the CT test, but at least I will have a shot. I'll still look into dual enrollment with TT over the summer to ensure acceptance by next semester.

To enroll in Dual enrollment, what is the first step? Fill out a college application with TT?

I've wondered this as well. Also what's the difference between the dual enrollment and the articulation agreements? I'm confused on that one.

If I read it all correctly, the dual enrollment with TT lets you take two BSN classes online through the Texas Tech El Paso nursing school while you're working on your RN...then you get automatic acceptance to finish your BSN. And the articulation agreements is where you fill out the application, have TT review your transcript, fill out a declaration of intent form, and if you satisfy the GPA requirement you get automatic acceptance into their RN-BSN program. I might be totally wrong and if someone knows otherwise, please correct me.
