PM me if you want material that me and my classmates wrote down after the tests about what we remember on the exams!
We all collaborated and typed up information from the review on Evolve website and wrote down what we remembered from each exam we took..... a good core of us passed on our FIFTH try, so you CAN do it!! Don't give up!
Another tip: Google and download NCLEX 3500 institutional version. Look at what 2-3 areas you're CONSISTENTLY weak in, and then just focus on doing questions from NCLEX 3500 and other sources on THOSE areas. Then every 3rd day or so, do questions from a little bit of everything!!
The HESI really pounds you on maternity and psych!! Unfortunately for me, as I found out, I was really weak in those areas. Also it can be tough in professional issues and delegation. Because I was in an ADN program, our who class was weak in management and professional issues, so we had to overcome this by teaching ourselves the materials for the HESI, but we did it! You can too!
Also, do 250 questions a day for a few days up until the exam! Split them up, dont do 250 in one sitting! Do 50, walk away for a bit, go watch a movie, watch your favorite show, then come back and do 50 more. You WILL retain more information!
Im just trying to help those who are unfortunate enough to have a school cover their butts by handing out an exit exam like this that claim they are trying to "help" the students by ensuring they are ready for the NCLEX. We all know this test can be a pain. I've experienced it first hand. I'm just giving information that helped ME pass, so hopefully this post will help someone else out too!
PM me! I will give anyone what our class and a couple of classes before us remembers about the HESI!
Have a great day, and dont be discouraged, because you CAN do it!!!!
