Confused but determined

Hello everyone , I am looking forward to being a RN ... Are there other schools apart from chamberlain that offers it for a duration of 3 years .. And do all HESI exams involve chemistry which is not my strong subject ... I live in Houston ... Please any advice for me as I look forward to starting in 2017

I'm not quite sure what you are asking in your question. Are there other programs which are 3 years of schooling? Yes. Most ASN programs are 1 year of pre-req classes + 2 years of nursing classes. You can find ASN degree programs at many Community Colleges and Technical/Vocational schools. I'm not familiar with the programs in Texas, but I'm sure there are many ASN programs available - try checking out the Texas forum for information specific to your state.

The HESI exam includes a science section which requires knowledge of basic biology, chemistry, and anatomy and physiology. It is possible to find free practice exams online to give you a sense of the difficulty of the questions. If you need to brush up your chemistry skills, I'd suggest going through an old text book for review, using a site like Khan Academy to learn information, or searching for other resources online.

Thank U very much .... U have given me a great insight I really do appreciate it ... Although I have been watching some videos on YouTube and there was someone who said on the HesiA2 exam there were on tested on Maths, anatomy and physiology , biology , and English ... Was wondering if Chamberlain has its own exam with chemistry compulsory and other school leave it out ...

You'll probably have to contact Chamberlain directly to find out if the HESI exam they expect students to take it is modified HESI, and if so, which portions have been removed. Every school does things a little differently and I am not familiar with Chamberlain.

There is also a HESI Exam forum on this website which may have more information on what sections are frequently required and how to best prepare for them.

My own advice would be to prep the best you can for the exam - including chemistry - and not base which schools you apply to solely on fear of chemistry. Who knows, with a bit of review and study you may surprise yourself and do just fine on the chemistry section!
