Hesi

[bethy_3]

Hello.

Please tell me about this HESI thing. My program is so aweful and our teachers don't tell us anything!!! We just found out about HESI yesterday because I saw it online and asked about it. Come to find out we have it in one month. I just found out that it is tied to our clinicals and if we don't pass hesi with 85% we also fail clinicals and have to repeat the entire semeseter next fall. Can this be true? Does this happen in other programs? I have heard of needing remediation to help pass HESI but not failing clinicals. Sounds not right to me? Can anyone verify this and explain how they can not let us graduate?

Please help, I am so stressed out!

I am in my 4th semester of a 2 year program, we have midterm hesi in the 2nd semester that we must pass with an 850 or higher or we cannot continue to the 2nd year. then we have the exit hesi that we must pass with an 850 or higher to graduate and it doesn't matter if we are passing clinicals and theory we must pass the Hesi to graduate. The good thing is we get 3 chances to take the exit hesi (on the assigned day, before graduation, and after graduation) jsut incase you do pass it on the 1st try. Our shcool is cool because if you do not pass the first or second they will still let you participate in the pinning ceremony, but you must pass the on the third try to actually graduate. I did not find the Hesi that hard, but we have really tough test in theory, so the Hesi was a no brainer for me. You will do well.:wink2:

PS your school should have discuss this with the class instead of letting you guys find out on your own That sucks:uhoh3:

We also have to take the HESI. We took the HESI (just for practive, but the real test) at the end of Block1. I also thought it was pretty easy, and even after just first semester I passed (too bad I still have to take it again). There were some things on it I didn't know, but that were kind of common sense. I would say if you do well in your process exams then you should be fine for the HESI because, for us at least, they were very similar. The most difficult part for me was not being allowed to have a scratch peice of paper to do my math problems on.

Thanks for the response. I guess I am just frustrated and confused as to how the school can not let you graduate because of one bad test. It just seems that I have put so much work into everything and they have a lot of weight on one test. I am scared that this one test is my deciding factor that I will not graduate - then what's the point of the past years? I feel like everything has been a waste! I was just asking on this thread to see if other students were going through the same thing and were scared they weren't going to graduate too.
