   HESI A2 exam conversion question

   The study guide I used was edition 4, and I haven't seen any newer editions than that! The questions will vary on each person's exam, of course, but I believe the study guide and the question app help cover most of the topics that will be on the test...

    alpinegirl replied to rose_quartz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Are you willing to move to other states? There are absolutely programs out there that have minimum GPAs of 2.5 or 2.75. Keep in mind, meeting the minimum isn't a guarantee, but if you have good grades in your pre-requisite courses and do well on the ...
