Exit hesi review course

[CRW2010]

Hi to everyone on allnurses.com! I need help! So this is my story...I live in houston, TX and completed the ADN program May 2010. However, I have not passed hesi yet. Which seems to be a very common discussion in this forum. I've taken it 4 times and I have one more chance to retake it in april 2011. This is my last and final chance. If I don't pass this time, I'm out of the program. All my hard work and yrs devoted to becoming a nurse will be tossed out the window. I'm starting this thread because I want to know if any other students out there know of any schools that offer the the hesi review course at their school and are willing to let students outside the campus to attend? I've called the evolve company and they told me that they have seen this happened before. Unfortunately my school did not offer it to us, which is unfair. I think if any school decides to utilize this test, they should offer the hesi review to the students. Since we're paying for it anyways. I've done hurst review, but not kaplan yet. If I can't find a school to let me sit in for their hesi review, then I will try kaplan. My score range has been 750-800, I can't seem to get out of that range. We need a 850 to pass. I even quit my job just to focus. My poor husband has been working alot of overtime just to make ends meet. I feel like a bad mother for neglecting my son just to study too. I'm just a mess right now. This test just makes me not want to become a nurse anymore even though I know I would nbe a great one. PLEASE HELP!

I'm sorry, I don't have any advice for you but I wanted to tell you that I am rooting for you. This sounds like a very frustrating situation and I hope that you will find the kind of review you need to pass. You CAN do this! Good luck and don't give up!

(PS. One of the schools I'm applying to has HESI exams throughout but passing is not necessary to proceed in the program. However, there is mandatory remedial if a passing grade is not achieved. I know you are talking about the exit exam but did your school use HESI material throughout? If so, do they offer remedial during the program?)

OBplease thanks so much for your support! It's great to have any positive feedback =) . My school did not use hesi exams throughout the program. There was only one mid-term hesi (not graded) and the exit hesi required for graduation. As far as remediation, it consist of reviewing specific failed exams and just some studying advice from the instructors. I know some schools use hesi exams every two weeks. Our exams we're not hesi based.
