My program as well, an exit exam after each semester. This semester a little different one Maternity and one Pediatric Hesi exam to pass before the end of the semester. Fortunately they are assigning us practice EAQ questions for exposure weekly. I do extra questions and remediate in questions or sections I’m deficient in according to category assigned by the teacher that week. So far have passed every Hesi Exam. First two same score, my latest had an increase of 115. I’d say if your school provides EAQs for free don’t buy extra stuff. I did acquire a PDF version of Saunders to look over but honestly the EAQs are awesome exposure. And these videos! I listen to them on my hour commute. :) I’m reviewing pediatrics this month for this upcoming exam! Good luck all :)

I recently took my exit hesi and i did not pass. i am very angry with myself because after i left the exam i knew the answer to the questions i got wrong. This type of exam it is very hard to describe the type of questions they give on it. There really isnt an exact resource for you to get the twisted approach these questions are presented to you in. i retake it Aug 5th. i have learned to slow down and re-read my questions like 5 times before i even answer. i will keep doing what i am doing only because i practiced a million questions and reviewed a lot of stuff. But after taking it i need to focus on peds and maturnity because my professor said its not really on the exam. um they were soooooo wrong thats probably what my exit hesi was really about.

Now that I am almost finished with my prerequisites, and working as a nurse assistant, I see how becoming a registered nurse is very special and very hard. I am taking dosage calculations and the professor goes too fast and too much for the lecture. So I ask her questions but is too much. I cry a lot. She admitted she loses patience. I think dosage calculations is not that hard, but to be honest it is a little bit hard. I need to study right now. But I really wish I could stay in dorms or my own space when I am in nursing school. I am such an introvert and cannot study in noisy places. Now that I am a nurse assistant, I really see becoming a registered nurse is very nice. I work with geriatrics in a nursing home and some of the patients are funny and wise. I would love this Health care profession as a registered nurse very much.

Hang in there the HESI exit is tough. Did your school give you a print out of the areas you scored the worst on? If so, I would use a NCLEX study book (Saunders is great) and the exit HESI book and study strictly those areas. The major thing you should also do is practice 100s of questions a day until the test day, especially in those areas you are rusty on. Keep a positive attitude and try to do your best....some of the best nurses I've worked with had trouble with this exam. I wish you the best :)

It is tried and true that practice really does make perfect. Do you know if there is an app for Saunders?

@RegisteredNurseRN8 жыл бұрын
Hi Selena :) It sounds like you are using the right resources to study. However, it sounds like you may have a problem knowing how to answer those tricky NCLEX style questions correctly. Many students know the material (front and back) but the way the questions are set-up confuses them, and they are left with two possible answers. To help with this I recommend you crank-up how many NCLEX style questions you are practicing on a daily basis. When I was studying for my exit HESI I tried to practice 100s of them daily, and I tried to use different sources (so I could get a variety of questions). I have two videos where I cover how to eliminate answers and figure out what the question is "really asking". You may find them useful: "How to Answer NCLEX SATA": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ibpombeE0cqldYE.html "Tips on Answering NCLEX Questions with Examples": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9Shh6mK1Jqmd40.html I hope that helps!

I am planning for my HESI schedule from today, the exam day is on Sep. My confusion is if I review each subject first, such as fundamental, OB and then go to the practices, or just go ahead to do an ocean of practices but go back to review books when you are stuck. How to distribute the time of reading and practices? I am asking this because I am lacking the skills on skimming books, so reading occupies too much time...That is not good. Can you give me some suggestions about that? I have visited your website and it is so great and I will keep following it.
@RegisteredNurseRN7 жыл бұрын
Hello :) Thank you for watching my videos and for using the website :) I don't know if you have seen my study log I kept to study for the exit HESI and NCLEX, but it may help give you an idea how to prep. Here it is: www.registerednursern.com/my-hesi-nclex-rn-study-log-hours-the-books-i-use-to-study/ What I did to specifically prep for the exit HESI was that I purchased the HESI exit study guide (I highly recommend this), and I read it from front to back. Since you are taking your exam in September you have plenty of time to do this. What I would do is this: I would read a couple of sections in the HESI book every day. For example, let say you are going to read over fundamentals (ex: infection control etc), after reading I would practice the end of the section question in the book. Then I would read the same material in the Saunders Comprehensive study guide and compare what each study book said, and then to finish up my studying for that day I would practice NCLEX style questions solely on fundamentals (infection control) from the Saunders software (the software lets you pick what areas you want to target). Plus, I would try to find other resources online that has free NCLEX style practice questions for you to practice. So, my tips are to read the book from front to back slowly over time (pay attention to HESI hint boxes), practice NCLEX style questions over the topics you are reading about everyday (about 100 a day). Try to spend at least 20-45 minutes a day studying....and if you are super busy on a day...try just 15 minutes. It really helps. I ended up scoring 1002 on the exam and I think my study methods really helped me. Best wishes :)
