   lene_snider replied to Kindhearted's topic in New Nurse

   Yes, I took the Hesi about a month ago and passed the NCLEX about 2 weeks ago. (the NCLEX is easier than the HESI). That Hurst review really was great for the HESI....I would recommend it. That is what I continued to study for the nclex as well.

8. Hesi Exit Exam Help!

   lene_snider replied to Kindhearted's topic in New Nurse

   I used the Hurst DVD review. It costs like 275 dollars but helped with my Hesi and Nclex exams. She brakes everything down really simple and some things she talks about are the very questions on the hesi. I listened to the dvd's until I could quot...
