You can order a study guide from Hesi, just look up hesi exams on google and you can order on there web site. There is not much info. it's about a 20 pg binder, not sure it is worth the 18-20 dollars I spent. I've been reviewing my A&P text and using study books from Barnes and Noble. Good luck, if you hear anything, I'd appreciate a Heads Up.

Has anyone taken the Hesi entrance for HCC, the Hesi. Is the study guide any good for the A&P part, are question taken from that. I had a bad A&P I teacher, just taught for his test and I haven't taken A&Pll yet, trying to teach myself as I need to go ahead and try to get in for spring. Any info helpful. Studying away in Katy

Have you seen/or know any travel nurses 50 and on up? Your spouses can tag along?

I appreciate the responses. Sounds like there's alot of heavy competition out there and alot of great nurses coming up the ranks. kudos on the grades and good luck to you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why am I getting my ADN. I will eventually get my Bachelors in nursing, but I would need to take quite a few more courses right now and I want to get my foot in the door with the ADN. I my major was in Social Welfare, which I used for a year immediately after graduation as a child protective case worker. Back then I was really naive and had been raised pretty sheltered. I wanted to help people, but found I was considered a intrusion to peoples life. My life was threatened, I was chased after by family members who wanted me out of their life. I was too young and naive at that time to handle it and went into the insurance industry. I was totally burned out after 18years, trying to please the insurance agent, the company(holding claim amounts down) and people who thought insurance companies just screw people. I've sent many resumes out in the social services arena, but not much luck since I don't have a masters and have been out of that industry for so long. The money isn't great either. I want to help people, enjoy my time I get to work with people, and work with people who in a positive manner and not a negative one. I left a career at $54,000.00 to enter a profession at $32,000+. It may sound crazy, but money isn't everything. My daughter is a nurse and thinks it's the best thing she ever did. Call me Crazy...

Being burned out after years as an insurance claims adjuster, I hope to start a new career in nursing. Since I'm not a youngster (even though I feel like one), I'm wanting to get out as quickly as possible. I have a BA from years ago, with B's in English and Psychology. I'm going to take Psych over inorder to get an A. I just finnished A&PI and Growth & Dev with A's, but I'm worried about the Hesi. I plan to apply to several colleges as I hear nursing is highly competive. I will be taking the Hesi for Cyfair in a week or so and now find out that Houston CC is just starting the Hesi requirment for the Aug. application deadline. I know Cyfair test only on Math and English. HCC is testing on not only Math and English, but also Grammer and A&P. How long are the passages that are being tested on? The sample in the Hesi quide is not very long, but passages in the Net, GRE, and othe critical reading study guides are quite long. Any info. greatly appreciated-getting nots in my stomach. Also, does anyone know how the Hesi will enter in to the points scoring system they use to qualify applicants. Helppp---------Mccordd
