Fly-High

Yes, I left after that week. I was severely broken and I feel that came with me in the testing center. I really appreciate the support and I agree about critical thinking skills of others. I bowed out gracefully, but I weeped for days afterwards.

I graduated from clinicals, jumped right into a management position in a nursing home. I was seriously eaten by a DON that I admired and one of my closest friends agreed with her unjust comment about my critical thinking skills. I had no training and I was only in the position for 1 week, in that time she could evaluate my critical thinking skills? On top of that a day later I failed boards receiving 265q. The DON told many coworkers that she told me so and my so called friend asked me what I got on the Hesi critical thinking part of the test, as if that could really give an accurate gauge of my knowledge base. Also, I took hesi to get in the nursing program, which I completed with a 3.00, so I failed to see the relevance in that question. I'm slighty depressed but I'm still reviewing and trying to keep my head up. Just needed to vent.

Hello everyone, I took the Hesi A2 test today and passed it on my first attempt. I used ReadyfortheHesi website(given to me from a current transition program student), Hesi A2 secrets from Mometrix test preparation, Hesi Admission Assessment Exam Review Ed.3, and pocket prep. Honestly you don't need all of these items, but each of them gave me a little more information than the next one did, and I needed that. ReadyfortheHesi website was very informative it broke A&P down completely. Mometrix was very detailed in Voc, Math, A&P(too informative with English), Elsevier's study guide was concise, and the pocketprep I used all day, whenever and where-ever! Even if you study it will be questions on the test you don't know the answer to, but at least you can get the ones you do know correct. I had a mixture of questions from each body system, no Roman numerals, hefty ratios and proportions, numerous fractions/decimal conversions, scant amt of metric conversions; English was a breeze, Reading was lengthy, but fair; vocabulary was easy(55 words, I didn't know maybe 4-5 of it); finally, Critical thinking felt like Lpn boards(lol) I didn't know if I was getting it right or wrong, but I got a score of 910/1000. Overall, I did good! Whew, that's over, now I am ready to tackle the transition program. Please if you have more questions, ask. I will respond asap. Good luck!!
