UNLV NURSING Fall 2021 COHORT

Published

Hello everyone! I created this in order for us UNLV pre-nursing students who are applying for Fall 2021 admission to share HESI A2 exam scores and to ask questions. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys post your HESI scores.

Did anyone take the HESI from home? If so, do y'all happen to have any suggestions to make sure everything runs smoothly?

I'd really appreciate any tips. ?

I did! make sure that you have a good wifi connection. I did have issues during my exam, I got kicked out during my math section, just have the proctor u number ready, call them if you have any issues and they will fix it immediately

has anyone taken the exam online? can someone describe what the math section looked like, and the calculator. I wonder if we’re allowed to use our keyboards to type into the calculator.

You get a traditional calculator on screen and you’re only allowed to click the numbers. Also there’s a an on screen note provided as a scratch paper.

I’m at 94.14 points. I hope that’s enough to get in. It’s so unpredictable what the cut offs are. Especially with online learning. Hoping for the best for all of us!

The cut-off usually is around 94 and fall is the most competitive semester to get in. I hope we all get the good news by July!

Thank you! Are they really not letting us use any scratch paper for the math section? Like, even if we show that there is nothing written on the sheet of paper?

 I had this question too since I heard different things from people who took it, so I emailed health sciences and asked them what was allowed and they responded "I just spoke to our contact at the School of Nursing in regard to your question.  She said that Proctor U does not allow scratch paper, but does allow dry erase/whiteboards. ", so I used a whiteboard during my exam, hope that helps!

im assuming the whiteboard have to be placed right behind you/ or attached to the wall where the camera can see it? or can we just use it hand held? just making sure how it works thank you!

I just calculated my overall score in the Calculation Worksheet, and I got 96.79. Do you guys think this score is competitive enough?
