I didn't buy or use a HESI book, I used my NCLEX books. I also reviewed my notes from previous semesters, and I did all the chapter questions in my med-surg and pharmacology textbooks.
Good luck!

:heartbeati suggest buying the prentice halls reviews and rationales series of books on the subjects you have gone over so far. they sell fundamentals, med surg, maternal child(ob) and so on. they helped me pass.:heartbeat
I didnt do very well on my lecture exams this semester, But I Aced Clinical,lab,and math. Is the hesi hard or easier than the lecture exams. Any opinion is welcome.

Supermom, do I know you?? :0) Where do you go to school. I have my Mid cirricular HESI this Monday. I just took the OB HESI and aced it, I used the HESI book. I found it to be VERY helpful. Good luck- Vanessa
I go to north harris! I have hesi tomorrow! Im pulling my hair out! How was the hesi test was it easy? what areas should I focus? Thank you so much for replying,
I guess I don't know you then. I have to say honestly I think the HESI OB was way easy. This is my second HESI test. Fundamentals last semester I got an 1155. I got 1187 on the OB HESI. Which was surprising because I am very inconsistant in taking tests. We are required to get a 900 or remediate! My regular unit exams (we have 7 per semester :0( ) I score anywhere form an 80 to 94. BUT I am scared about the Midcirricular HESI. I don't know if it's the same for different schools, but ours will cover Psych, Med/Surg, and more OB. It's just a lot of info to study. I would suggest going over the major disease i.e CHF, ESRD, fluid and lytes, and some of the major meds for each disease. Good luck- I think were both gonna need it.
I hate fluid and electrolytes! I failed that exam this semester really bad. But I thank you so much appreciate your input, I wish you the best of luck! Im sure one day well look back on this and breathe on room air! LOL

I feel so stupid asking this but I've seen HESI and what does it stand for? I'm finishing 3rd semester and I've never heard of it before......
