Can you fail Nclex ending on a sata?
OP, unfortunately until you know your results you'll probably be super nervous, anxious, freaked out, etc...so the best thing you can do for yourself and your sanity is to get your mind off the exam. I personally recommend Netflix . From what you've said, it looks like you were a smart student in nursing school, so don't doubt yourself or your knowledge base. In other-words, CHILLAXE!!!

Second Guessing Myself!!! Just Finished My NCLEX-RN...
The more posts you read and search regarding the types of questions you got, the more you're going to second guess your self! STOP IMMEDIATELY, for the sake of your sanity. I felt good after I took my NCLEX this past June (stopped at 75), came home and and began searching and reading forums, NCLEX sites, etc...pretty much I convinced myself for two days that I failed when I actually had passed! Go watch Netflix, hang out with friends, or do anything beside searching and reading about questions. Block websites if you have to! Wait the 48 hours and pay for quick results if your state participates. From what I've seen on the forum, the PVT has not been accurate. Keep your self busy and you won't be tempted to try it! For a little reassurance, approximately 90% of US educated students pass the NCLEX the first time

Best Way to Refresh on Pharm?
I agree, it is pretty much impossible to look over every med! I will tell you though that I did see medications I recognized on the NCLEX from doing the flashcards on the free app and practice questions. Did I always know what those meds did--NO! Haha but I knew I had seen them before

Best Way to Refresh on Pharm?
The NCSBN learning extension RX flashcard app was really helpful for brushing up on pharm, and its free! Also, if you have access to practice question programs like ExamMaster, Saunders, Davis Q&A, etc..you can select pharmacology as a topic and do practice questions just on pharm. I found doing practice questions and reading the rationales more helpful than simply reviewing, but it depends on your learning style. Hope this helps!

Are there measurement conversions on HESI?
I had a few kitchen type conversions--I used the big G method.... Memory Tricks: Remembering How Many Cups in a Gallon | The Kitchn then just know how many oz are in 1 cup and you can go from there using that big G. Also know that 1 oz=30ml. The King Henry Died Monday Drinking Chocolate Milk, came in handy for me as well when I took the math portion of the Hesi.

Just took HESI A2
I'm glad to help, however I cannot tell you specific questions that were asked on the test. I will tell you what I used to study and areas to look into. For the A&P part I suggest using quizlet (searching Hesi A2 and use the A&P flash cards on there). I did the self-test format and it helped a lot. The Hesi A2 study guide is a great tool for an outline of what you need to know for A&P. Start from the very top of the body and work your way down looking over the systems, organs, hormones, muscles, bones and their function. The A&P questions on the hesi tested you on information on all parts of the body. Make your own study sheet (write-it-out!) and have someone quiz you, that helped me out a lot. I also used this website ( https://sites.google.com/site/apinnerworkings/free-stuff/hesi-a2 ) there is a really good outline for A&P if you scroll to the bottom it is one of the downloads. I would also suggest looking through older posts on allnurses, you can find some valuable information that was provided from others on what to study for the A&P portion of the Hesi. The grammar section was not too bad, I found it easier than the practice tests. All the information you need about the grammar section is located in the Hesi A2 study guide (I used the 3rd edition). A lot of the questions could be answered by just plugging in words to the sentence and seeing what "sounded" right. I made an outline of the grammar section in the Hesi A2 study guide ( writing down things helps me remember better). For the vocab section I looked over the words in the hesi a2 study guide, also look over words you already know because sometimes you may not know the EXACT meaning of the words. I used the Hesi A2 secrets book for addition vocab words. I don't remember seeing specific medical terminology relating to disease or illness on my test. Have a good understanding of words that are used in a medical setting like words used to describe and/or talk to patients or co-workers. I have taken a medically terminology course, but knowing latin roots did not help. I work at a retirement community and a lot of the terms were familiar to me from experience. I studied about 3 weeks for the hesi a2 (during winter break). I would suggest taking your most challenging section FIRST. I was really worried about A&P and I focused mainly on that about 3 days before my test day. I was really nervous and worried about the test, especially the A&P part and after getting it out of the way first I was MUCH more relaxed for the other portions of the test. I took math second since I knew it would be the most time consuming, followed by reading, grammar and vocab. Remember to take your time--I spent 85minutes just on the math portion because I double checked every answer on the calculator and by hand. Here's how I did: Overall: 94.8 Math: 98 Reading: 96 Grammar: 92 Vocab: 92 A&P: 96 CT: 870 Hope this helps! Good luck, you'll do great :)

Just took HESI A2
Yes, that was the same exam I took! Also, on the actual exam page I noticed that at the top it said UTHSC-BSN program, so you can be double sure it's the right one!

Just took HESI A2
I took the admission assessment with critical thinking. I signed up through UT-Houston HSC ( https://nursing.uth.edu/dotAsset/2368423.pdf ) by using their school ID you know for sure you are taking the correct version of the Hesi that is required for them. Also, if the school you are applying to has a link like UT-Houston's I would highly recommend you sign up for the Hesi through that.

Just took HESI A2
Hi! I took the HESI A2 yesterday at a prometrics center. I was given 2 laminated papers (front and back) along with a fine pointed sharpie to use as "scratch paper". The only downside was that what ever markings I made on the laminated papers was permanent, but I was told to ask someone if I needed more paper. Two laminated papers front and back were enough for me, I really only used them for the math section of the test. There IS a calculator!!!! The calculator is located inside of the sections of the Hesi and it is in the obvious. You can't miss it, so no worries!! Also, there is a timer on the test that lets you know how much time you have left--I remember I could not find information on this and was trying to find a watch at home to take with me. There were 55 questions on the Math, Reading, Vocab and Grammar portions of my test. A&P and Critical thinking had 30 questions each.
