Nursing Students HESI

Published

I scored a 92% on my HESI test yesterday! :w00t:

I used three books to study from: http://www.amazon.com/McGraw-Hills-Nursing-School-Entrance-Exams/dp/0071599371/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1333228895&sr=8-10 and http://www.amazon.com/Barrons-Nursing-School-Entrance-Exams/dp/B005OHWQW4/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1333228995&sr=8-25 as well as the one that our school bookstore carried.

They each covered the same concepts but different examples, etc., so I found them helpful.

You go Girl! Congrats to you and I hope to do as well as you when I take mine. I know it feels so refreshing. =)

Also, can you share your experience overall with the exam, specically the A&P section. How was it?

Thanks!! Actually our school doesn't require the A&P section, to my surprise. It was only math, reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, critical thinking and learning styles. I am in A&P II and microbiology right now, but have worked in the medical field for 18 years and thought I would do ok on the A&P part. I am just thrilled it is done. Being an "older" student I think helped a lot. There were quite a few in my class that did not pass the HESI.

When are you scheduled to take yours? Some of the vocab was real tough and I thought my vocab skills were pretty darn good. The devil is in the details ya know. Do you notice when someone uses the wrong "their, there, they're" etc? I do and those types of questions are on the test. I also think it is testing our ability to make an educated guess about things using the process of elimination and logic, which of course is hard to study for.

It took me about 2 1/2 hours total and was actually easier than I anticipated. The anticipation is worse than the test...if you know what I mean! Good luck. :)

Wow, your story sounds like mine! I am also taking AP II and Micro at the same time and its no joke. I managed a 94 on my HESI so im super excited. Congratulations and good luck to you!

Congrats on your HESI score..that is great! What school are you going to? A&P II and micro keep one busy wouldn't you say? We get our "unknowns" next Tuesday...blech...I am not looking forward to that. We rushed through learning all those lab tests...now I hope I can do them when the time comes. Luckily, I got a 96 and 100 on our tests so that gave me some wiggle room for the unknowns. :specs:
