Hesi finally done

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi, I am new to the community and happy to find others who are the same boat. I just took my HESI today...all pre-reqs done..just need to finish the CNA and I'm ready to apply to the program. I just wanted to say the HESI wasn't as horrible as I expected! I got a 91 :lol2: I used the study guide alone to prepare.

Our nursing school requires you to take all the portions.. english, reading vocab, biology, chemistry, a and p and math... it took 2 hours 20 minutes to finish all 7 tests.

Do you have the HESI study guide? The math comes straight from it, the grammar is basic to anyone who speaks english well, the a and p was very general. Know your planes, glands, bones, a little circulatory, blood content, reproductive.... study questions in the study guide were actually in my HESI test. Know math conversions in gallons, ounces, metric to english, roman numerals... the HESI study guide really covers everything if you really know it all well. I would be happy to mail my guide to anyone willing to pay postage.

Thank you.....I have the guide, but everyone has been saying that it goes so much deeper then the guide. It's been driving me crazy. There is just no way to memorize every little detail of all of A&P1 and 2 before this test.

Just be sure you know the study guide well... so like when it says know the glands...really know them. and what they secrete...etc.

i had only one gland question and it was easy. about the ovaries, which ones they secrete.

I had that question too! I was just using that as an example..... meaning if you know everything the study guide covers, u will do fine.

Can someone please give me a clue about the Chemistry and Biology parts? I'm taking the HESI this semester, probably in December. I'll be taking Chem starting in 2 weeks, so I'm not too worried about that section of the HESI. But biology I'll be reviewing on my own. It would be reassuring to have *some* idea of what the science sections are like! Fortunately, I don't have to take the A&P part.

Many thanks to anyone who can answer my questions!

I hadn't taken chemistry for three years so I got an 84 in that portion... I really think if you study the HESI study guide, you will do well. Do you have that? I had to take all the portions but the Chemistry and Biology portions don't apply to my admitance so I didn't study them all that well. I got the 84 in Chem, and I got a 94 in Biology. Biology is one of my favorite subjects. They asked a lot of questions on the organelles, a few on ATP and aerobic and anaerobic respiration. I believe they asked on the 5 classifications of life as well. The study guide covers it all. I highly recommend learning the study guide well. My offer still stands to mail it to anyone who would like a copy.

I didn't take chemistry in high school. Chemistry isn't a pre-requisite or one of the classes for the ADN nursing program at the school I plan to go to. Should I take a chemistry class or does the HESI study guide have enough help for chemistry?

Hey, thanks so much for that info! Yes, I do have the HESI guide. As for the Chemistry, do you remember any of the types of questions? Were they on matter, balancing equations, reactions, the periodic table?

I'm applying to 4 schools that use THREE DIFFERENT entrance exams. (groan!) I'm getting the NET out of the way next week (for 2 schools), if I can swing it time-wise. My local CC uses the HESI with Chem and Bio, and another nearby CC uses the NLN. Argh!
