HESI Pharmacology

[NICUmiiki, DNP, NP]

WHOOP! Just passed it! Benchmark was 850; I got a 932. It was worth a bonus 1% of my grade...

Even though I didn't know most of the drugs I came across, I did really well to say I've only taken Pharmacology in the first semester and I have yet to write a care plan or care for a patient. Having a good knowledge of A&P, Pharmacology, and Pathophysiology is what got me through it.

HESI Fundamentals is at the end of the semester and is worth 3% of my grade (not bonus). I'm not sure which HESIs we'll take throughout the program, but I do know that we'll have to pass the comprehensive HESI in order to graduate. I'm glad that they are getting us used to it early in a low risk way.

Anyone else taking the HESI exams??

That is awesome! I just took the pharmacology one, and it was worth 5% of our grade. I made an 1189, I was happy with that.

We have to take a Fundamentals HESI, one at the end of each specialty rotation (Peds, maternity, and mental health) and one for Med-Surg II. Then we need to pass the comprehensive before they let us graduate. I like that my program uses the HESI exams, it's good practice.

We take HESIs for almost every class. Pharm? You get a HESI! Clinical course? HESI! I have one end of this quarter it's worth roughly 15%, but they are very good practice for NCLEX.
