HESI vs. NCLEX

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

To those of you who have recently taken NCLEX, how does it compare to HESI? Did you think HESI OR NCLEX was harder? How did you prepare? Does anyone know of any good practice test to take online that are similar to NCLEX?

The Kaplan review is a good source however, the HURST review is AWESOME!!!!! Marlene Hurst breaks down all topics of NCLEX into words and pics that you will NEVER forget!!! She is HILARIOUS which makes the review not so "DREADED"!!! I highly recommend it! If you passed HESI, you should have no problem with NCLEX as I found HESI much more difficult!! If you haven't taken HESI, I would suggest only using HESI resources to study! Those are available through Evolve as well as your school. They actually have a code for students to log on that will allow you to utilize HESI study material.......kind of like a review for NCLEX! The question is....Did your university purchase the program? If not, you would NOT be allowed to use it!!! Good luck to you!

Yes I did the HESI online reviews and passed my schools final HESI. I am just waiting on my ATT # from the state. How much was the Hurst review?

I think both are hard but Hesi is more into detail than NCLEX.
