Need advice on Test Prep. Books...Please!!!

Published

Just wondering if anyone has advice on which Nursing School Entrance Exam Prep books are best. Right now, I'm trying to decide between two books: Kaplan's Nursing School Entrance Exams - Second Edition and National League for Nursing's Review Guide for LPN/LVN Pre-Entrance Exam - Second Edition. I am needing to prep for the HESI A2 Exam. I would appreciate any reviews/opinions of these books or suggestions of better books. Thank you!!!!

Go to http://www.hesitest.com and there is actually a specific book to study for Hesi 2. I am taking it in Aug and just got it in a month ago. It is written by the exact same people who write the test so you know its correct information. It costs aound $25 and takes about 7 days to get to you. I will tell you that the company has a strange billing procedure when you put it on your debit or credit card. They start by charging $1 right away. The next day the $1 charge is gone, but they have charged you the amount without tax. Then a few days later they charge you the amount with tax, and eventually put the amount without tax back a week or so later. It was very strange.

Thank you so much for the information. I will definitely check it out. Thank you again...and GOOD LUCK on your exam!!!!

your welcome...Good luck to you too

I looked on hesitest.com nd can't find the link for the study guide. Any ideas?

I agree, it was not easy to find.... It will save you some time if you just order it from Barnes & Noble (or pick one up at a store). The cost is the same (cheaper if you have a B&N Membership). Here is the web page http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780965667838&itm=1

It is a spiral format, not exactly what I expected... It does seem to be fairly informative. Good luck!!!

Do all nursing schools have an entrance exam? The counselor said nothing of this during my martriculation. Of course I have ages worth of pre-req's to do first. Also it is not listed on the nursing website for my school.

All the CC programs here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area do.
