I definitely understand what you are going through (mom of 2 boys under 4 here í ½í¸‚) I think you made a great decision! The cost, time, and commute is ideal and we can always complete our bsn afterwards! I, like you, only had one attempt to do the HESI, and let me tell you, it was a relief getting it done! What you are doing to study is pretty much what I did- I used the pocket prep every day and also studied out of the HESI review book, nothing more. My scores were: 92- A&P 90- math 92- vocabulary 90-reading 88-grammar 830-critical thinking 90.4 overall My advice for each section: A&P- was random- study everything you can especially the glands, eye and ear. Also, know the bones and muscles. Math- fractions, percentages and ratios. Vocabulary- random- I feel it's best to do this section using the process of elimination. Grammar- surprisingly similar to vocabulary, so again, process of elimination was helpful. Reading- they ask you multiple questions on each passage, a mixture of vocabulary grammar and other questions about the passage- this section was the most time consuming. Critical thinking- was the most difficult because I am not familiar with triaging, but if I were, it would have been helpful here. This section mainly gave situations and different choices you could make in those situations. I wish you the best of luck!! With all of the studying you've already done I'm sure you will do great!
