HESI Deadline for spring enrollment

[hargar]

Hey guys this is probably a silly question. I plan on applying to UTH and lone stars nursing programs next week. I recall reading somewhere that the hesi needs to be taken either a week before the application deadline or a week after I believe. Just curious if I take it on the 31st will if not show up in my app?

this whole nursing start was kind of a last minute thing for me and I completely overlooked the hesi while taking my prerequisites over the summer. 🙃

Im having mini heart attacks all over again since a lot of the testing centers near me are full. Also if I take the hesi at lone star can those same scores be used for uth? Lone stars website said they only accept scores from their test. I probably misread that too since I tend to do majority of my non classroom things late at night 😔

All your input is greatly appreciated.

Your best bet would be asking UTh if they accept other scores. I am pretty sure they do. It's a national exam that all nursing school accept, the only thing that is different some schools require you take all subjects and some schools only require some of the subjects.

Think of it like taking the SATs, whether you take the SAT at a testing center in Houston or a testing center in Austin, it's still the SAT. Now some schools may want you to take just SAT Math and Reading while others require you to take all the SAT subjects like Math, Reading, Grammar, etc.

I would check with your school directly. My school only accepts scores from their testing center. No Exceptions. Good Luck!

Thanks so much! I ended up speaking with UT and found myself in another pickle. They do allow transfer scores, I just have to put their code in when taking the test
