I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing.

Taking the HESI at a new school without attending the program will be difficult. However, some general ED and pre-requisite credits should be transferable, especially if your school is accredited.

While there are no guarantees, some schools are more flexible than others. Your success will depend on contacting these schools directly to discuss your situation and see if they can accommodate your needs.

Here is a list of a few flexible schools you can explore. This is not an endorsement of any of these colleges.

Chamberlain University

Chamberlain offers a variety of nursing programs online, including an RN to BSN completion option. They may be flexible in working with students who have prior credits and need to complete their degree.

Western Governors University (WGU)

WGU offers a competency-based online nursing program, which might be more accommodating for students in unique situations. Their programs allow for flexibility in pacing, which could be beneficial.

Capella University

Capella offers a BSN program with FlexPath options, allowing students to learn at their own pace. They may offer the flexibility needed to complete your degree.

Excelsior College

Known for its online nursing programs, Excelsior may allow you to transfer credits and complete your degree. They have options that cater to non-traditional students.

University of Phoenix

They offer an RN to BSN program online with flexibility for students who need to finish their degree. They may accept transfer credits from other institutions.

Best wishes,
