On my first hesi halfway through my program I got a 597. I just took the Hesi Exit this afternoon. On ALL my practice test, quizzes etc I did HORRIBLE! But somehow got a Hesiscore of 855 with the conversion score of 79.32% Let me just tell you I did not come anywhere near a 79% on any of the evolve practice hesi stuff. I don't know the conversion, but I (now) believe that we really do know a lot more than we think we do. Give yourself credit, have a little faith and realize you can't bs your way through the program. You'd be surprised at how much you really do know. GOOD LUCK

i have a case study due and i'm stumped! question: "pre operatively what are three priority nursing diagnosis for this patient" the patient, a 5 year old girl with turners syndrome and coarctation of the aorta, is scheduled for an end to end anastomosis. should my nursing diagnosis reflect the pre-op period itself (example nursing dx include): deficient knowledge related to preoperative and postoperative events anxiety related to change in health status risk for infection and injury related to exposure to nosocomial infection and use of preoperative medication or should it reflect the signs and symptoms requiring surgery in the first place? (which i have all the aeb and supporting s/s for) decreased cardiac output related to obstruction of system blood outflow excess fluid volume related to heart failure and pulmonary vasculature overload risk for infection related to pulmonary vascular congestion and chronic illness i can't figure this out. any help or insight would be greatly greatly appreciated!
