TEAS

Published

I've been reading a lot on the TEAS exam. Is that the same thing as the HESI exam? I'm confused.

The TEAS is similar to the HESI, yes. They are both nursing entrance exams. I am having to study for both because I am applying to more than one program, and from the pretests I have taken the HESI seems more detailed.

ooooh i see. So some programs require both or one of the other?

Some schools require the HESI while others require the TEAS. If I am applying to 3 schools where one requires HESI and the other 2 require the TEAS I would have to take both. Not because they are both required for all 3 schools but because the 3 schools require different entrance exams. I haven't seen a school yet who required the HESI and the TEAS.

They are indeed different nursing entrance exams. I've personally taken both. It's been my experience and the same experience of my peers, that the HESI entrance exam is a bit easier than the TEAS V, but both require studying and preparation. Good luck on your exam!
