I just took one of the hardest tests of my life. I took the HESI exam. For those who don't know what HESI is I will explain it real quick. Hesi stands for a company called Health educated systems incorporated which creates comprehensive exams for each individual school that pays them base on the school curriculum. The school gives the exam and HESI has set guidelines for scoring. Hesi recommends that you score a BARE minimum of 85 probability each individual school can decide whether they want to offer points for the test or not. I have heard that some schools don't offer points but some do. At my school we have an all or nothing rule. Either you get 85 and above and you get your 25 points or if you get anything below an 85 even an 84.9 you get 0 points. The test is set up to give an estimate of how well you will do on NCLEX.
In case you have not been able to tell by now I passed!!!!!!!!
So now it looks like I get to keep my B in the class afterall. I have the final left but I would have to do REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad on the final not to keep that B. This is such encouraging news especially after my last two classroom tests where I failed both of them. The first four tests I did really well on, however those last 2 tests kicked my butt but I did really well on the HESI test today on the sections that I did fail. However, my highest scoring section in the class which was pysch I did average on the HESI. That may sound weird but I did not focus a lot on psych I focused on the sections that I did bad on during the semester. I did not have a lot of time to focus on EVERYTHING.
Well, anyway I just have to share my news and this really brings me joy knowing that I do know more than what I think I know and that I am really capable of anything I set my mind to. I really believed in myself. I was very anxious and was pacing a lot but I believe in myself and you all have been great because you gave me motivation and encouragement with during the hard times.
ALL OF US can do it and we will make it. I know have one week left for this semester and then I will be moving right on into my LAST and FINAL semester!!!!!!!!!!!!:roll :roll :roll
