Samuel Merritt University ABSN Spring 2021

Published

Hello!

I didn't see a thread for the SMU absn Spring 2021 cohort so I just wanted to start one!

I'm currently in the process of applying right now and working on my personal statements!

Hope you are all staying safe during this crazy time!

Hi everyone 

has anyone tried registering for the HESI but when you put the Dept ID it says none available in the drop box for exams?

No, sorry! Just the TEAS.

as for registration, I did initially register for HESI but then ended up cancelling it. I remember it was crazy confusing (hopping from site to site) but I don’t remember the specific instructions sorry.

Hi everyone, I took the HESI exam today. Overall, it was much easier than the practice tests I've been taking. I studied for about 90 minutes a day for three weeks and scored in the 90s for each section. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, so don't get discouraged!

Can someone clarify which science subjects will be on the HESI exam? I know there's Chemistry, biology, anatomy, and physiology, but for Samuel Merritt we only need anatomy and physiology?

Good job! Did you do remote proctoring? How was that?

I used the nursehub online premium practice tests, and the free tests online. I just googled "free HESI A2 practice tests" and used anything on the first page of results. I focused on the subjects I was weakest in and retook the tests until I got every answer right. It helped me to write out each answer with an explanation so it was really hammered into my brain. Each weekend I took a full length exam to assess my progress.

Thanks! Yes, I did the remote proctoring. It actually went pretty smoothly. They use a proctor over zoom that stays with you for the duration of the test. They can pause the test for you if you need a bathroom break, etc.

Yep, just A&P. They go over the required subjects in the FAQ:
