LSUHSC HESI HELP!

[mdupri1]

Has anyone taken the HESI for LSU yet? I need advice on studying, what to concentrate on and what to leave out. I have been studying the HESI textbook from the bookstore but there is not many practice questions available. If you have taken this test for LSU please give me any advise you have. Thanks in advance!!

We actually took it at the end of our nursing school career (last May) and it wasn't hard. I heard they were going to make it mandatory to pass, but I'm not sure if that's the case now. It is general, kinda like NCLEX. If you study your NCLEX books, you will do fine. Just use your "nursing judgment". It isn't bad and definitely nothing to stress about!

I didn't take it for LSU but I had to take it at Charity/Delgado. The test that I got had a lot of priority questions on it... stuff like which patient would you assess first, a lot of delegation questions (both to LPN and CNA), but the majority was just basic knowledge information. Always remember to choose the intervention that is the least invasive first, know your lab values, and I'd brush up on your Maternal/Peds stuff bc there were more questions on those subjects than I had thought there would be. It really wasn't bad at all. I blew through it the first time I took it because they scheduled it the week before our final and still got an 847 but when I took the second time and actually concentrated on it, I got a 1027 no problem. You'll do fine! Good luck!!
