UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hey! I have recently applied to WKU's LPN-ASN program and was wondering if anyone on here has been accepted in past cohorts and could tell me their HESI scores? I'm wanting to see if I have a shot. Thank you!

So did I!! Congrats!! I’m so excited!

I recently look the HESI and made an 84. Do y’all think I have a chance?? I studied like crazy and expected to do better so now I’m just stressing. I have all the other requirements.

I think you definitely have a chance! The woman in charge of nursing admissions told me that every new semester is different as far as competition goes. For example-One semester you apply for might have a bunch of 80% scores so 84% could be great.  It’s hard to know! Good luck and let us know if you get accepted!!

I know this post is old but I wanted to comment for those looking. I got accepted into Spring of 2025. I had a 85% on HESI after being told to get a minimum of 88%. I do have a 4.0 so I know that plays a factor but I just wanted to let it be known they do accept lower scores. I was accepted less than a week.

Thanks for letting me know. Was the HESI hard? What books did you use to study the HESI?

I did not truly study for it. But there is a quizlet for the A&P portion on reddit if you search for it. It was very similar. I looked over it once. I got a 96% in that section.

The classes you will have the option to CLEP are Mental Health, OB, and Pediatric nursing. I have found it so much easier to only have to focus on one class as opposed to two. You just pay the money (I believe it's $75) and you will take the exam through HESI as well. The instructor will provide you with study material like PowerPoints and lectures to help prepare for it. You must make a 77 or higher to successfully CLEP the course. Hope this helps! 

Hi! Did you only use the study material provided or did you purchase anything additional? I know this is an older post.
