Hillsborough Community College Fall 2012

Hello, there. I,m from spring 2013. What is that HESI about? Is it something new? I never heard from previous threads about it. Can you tell me what was on the test? And what was the point? Why can't they stop testing people all the time ...

It's an entrance level nursing exam called the HESI admissions assessment or HESI A2 for short. At the beginning of NP1 there will be the HESI A2 you will have to take just to give the instructor an idea of where the students are, it doesn't count towards a grade. But at the end of NP1 you will take another HESI (not A2 but I don't know what it's called or which one) and it will count for 10-15% of your grade. We will have to take it at the end of each NP semester. It's not new just previous threads kind of stopped talking to each other after orientation and what not and we are a pretty friendly knit group lol (I believe).

I believe it's related to the NCLEX

It covers math, biology, chemistry, reading comprehension, vocab, grammar, anatomy and physiology (30-55 questions each section) and it also includes a personality/what type of learner are you part that's 15 questions each

thank you, what kind of questions were there?

Wow, tons of info to review....how much time were you given to take the test?

They were kind of basic and simple. For instance "chose which word completes the sentence correctly"

"how many pints in 80 ounces"

"the buttocks are located in which surface of the body (dorsal)"

"what's the authors attitude"

"if a cell is put in a hypotonic solution where will the water travel"

A lot of fraction problems, an oxidation ?, DNA & RNA, meiosis/mitosis

A lot of stuff

We were given the entire 9-12 class period

Thank you so much, Calley. I appreciate your answers. Good luck. We are still waiting for the letters....two more weeks, we think.

Thank you and of course anything i can do to help! Aw exciting!!! Good luck, it's worth the wait enjoy your last bits of rest! Which campus are you hoping to get?

DM am. Thanks again.

Does anyone know the hours the lab is open at the dale mabry campus?

Has anyone started using the ebooks? I was thinking of getting an Ipad (instead of lugging around those awful heavy books), but I didn't know if they were issues with it not being compatible with the right flash reader.

Please let me know if you've been using the ebooks, and if you've had any problems or if they work fine. Thank you!!
