Hesi rn exit please help!!

Published

Our school just changed the rules 5 weeks before we graduate that we MUST pass the RN exit with 850 or higher. It was 650. I am looking for any study guides or tips that anyone has for the HESI. We are given V1 for our first try. I have not reached that high on any of the exams so far, we are all freaking out !!

Schools make that rule because if you make at least an 850 you are more than likely to pass the boards the first try! Do you have the HESI comprehensive study guide? It's great! It goes over every area of nursing and comes with access to online questions. Also do questions on NCLEX 4000. Between those I scored a 900 on HESI 1 and have scored in the 1000s on the others.

850 is totally attainable. I scored an 1150 with no studying at all. You know this material!!! You just spent years studying it in school!!

Not necessarily. Every school in my area has this rule. It's very common.

We are upset because they chnaged it 5 weeks before graduation , but we can still go to pinning even if we don't pass. We get 3 tries and the third is after pinning. I got the Hesi RN book I think it's the green one

not talking about the test in general... moreso the abrupt change. especially, 5 weeks prior to ending the term... i know why schools implement these types of test. loving how they sell it as an indicator of how successful you will be when you sit for boards. people who scored well above the recommended minimum still failed the NCLEX.

catmom713... use evolve if you have that resource. use that book you bought also... those helped me most when i was in nursing school.

I wish we only had to get an 850, but we have to score a 900. I think that Hurst may be helpful along with practice questions.

Good Luck!!

900 here too. My friend bombed it the first time and got the Saunders Test Strategies book and made a 99% the second time lol.

You can do it!!
