Ikenna ikenna I knot right? My school holding me up cause I can’t pass this damn test smh

I’ve successfully passed all my quizzes and exams. But I have to repeat my Med surge class all because I didn’t pass the HESI Exam. I really think the test is unfair.

I agree...I had to take the ATI for exit and I timed out so I didn't even finish, which they say we had 3 hrs but I beg to differ...I was 32 questions from finishing and 30 out the 150 wasn't even graded so I was screwed anyway..we had to make a 70 I made a 51.3 out of whatever questions they graded...

They need to remove this exam the look NCLEX is the real exam.

Jersey College makes you get a 925 or you can not sit for NCLEX.

Exactly. We had to have a 800 to pass. I passed 1st time with a 945

@@brandibooth5617 yup I'm there now. I have 4 weeks left of med surg 2 then start studying for the exit in senior seminar 😖

I have friends that never passed a Hesi and they passed their NCLEX with 75 questions the 1st time. You did amazing congratulations 🎉🎈

this gives me hope lol

Please any advice. Thank you and have a blessed day

Wow. Congratulations.

Hello Lesliann :) CONGRATS to you! Wow, you slayed the exit with 1,011...woot woot! You should have no problem with NCLEX. I'm glad the tips in this video helped you. Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment.

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 :)

Oh that stinks :( I hope your test went well :) I wish you the best!

Test went fine, passed above the cut off. Videos helped a lot, next time I'll try not to cram >_

Anuson Wijay YAY! Very happy for you :) Glad the videos helped and thanks for watching them!

+Emily R Congrats on passing the HESI entrance :) I know that has to feel good! Thank you so much for subscribing and for taking time to leave me a comment. I appreciate a lot! That is awesome my videos have helped you in your anatomy class :) I wish you the best in nursing school and I'm excited to go on the journey with you :) Thanks again for your kind words!

+Kayla V Thanks for your comment, Kayla. Wow, that is a lot of times you have to take HESI. It is a good way to look at that you will be prepared for HESI exit and NCLEX. Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome that you've got CNA experience and that you've almost finished your prerequisites. You're doing a great job, Cari. I know nursing school can be really tough. I cried myself a few times from the stress and work of it. Hang in there!

+Nurse CW Thanks so much. Yes, I'll add this to the list. I'm backed up right now, but hopefully I can get to it soon!

+Nurse CW Hey Nurse CW :) I was looking over your video request and wanted to make sure you knew about the video I made recently on "How to Juggle Classes in Nursing School"...I talk about juggling work, kids, study time etc with everything else involved and how to set-up a planner to keep everything balanced. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZyEac-DybO4iqs.html Let me know if that helps and if not, tell me specifically what you would like to know about balancing and I'd be happy to make the video for you :) -Sarah

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 :)

+Nurse CW Thanks for your comment, CW :) There is a Saunders Q and A review (book) that you can download to your phone and there are many free apps out there that are just NCLEX review questions. I did a search on Google play and found these along with the Saunders Q and A: play.google.com/store/search?q=saunders%20nclex%20review%20questions%20rn&hl=en I always appreciate your comments and thanks for always watching my videos...means a lot :)

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! Hang in there :)

Thank you for such a quick response! I watched the other videos and I think the strategies will really help me. I will let you know when I pass my EXIT :) Thank you for the help!

You're very welcome :) I was happy to help because I remember taking that lovely exit exam lol. Yes, definitely let me know how it goes. I wish you the best on it. You can do it!!

You shouldn’t have to take the HESI Exit each semester. You should take 1-3 specific HESI exams each semester, though.

Comprehensive exams that the school gives you....

Hello Jamara :) For the exit, I read the book from cover to cover and skimmed the charts to get an idea about what they were saying. I highly suggest paying close attention to those "hesi hints" in the book and the end of the review questions. After I would read a chapter, I would practice lots of NCLEX style questions on the topics covered in the chapter. So, I would go back and forth from reading the hesi book to practicing questions. I hope that helps. Best wishes on it!

Jamara Starks please which book is good for The Hesi. I will be taking my Hesi next year. I want to start preparing, though i am still going for my third semester

Hello :) Thank you for watching the video. Yes, practice 100s of questions daily from all the resources you can find. Be sure to read rationales and review the material you got wrong in the HESI study guide. I took the exit HESI and I highly recommend reading through the book and paying very close attention to those "HESI Hints" and tables. Every day I would set a goal of how many chapters I would read and then I would wrap up my reading my practicing review questions over those topics. I hope that helps! Best wishes on it :)

How did you do on the Hesi exam I have mines coming up and I’m confused on where to study

Thank you so much for the super kind comment. I really appreciate it! I wish you the best in your studies!

+alberto gonzalez Thanks for your comment, Alberto. What specifically are you looking for about US hospitals? How a typical 12 hours shift is for a nurse in the US?

Yes, you could use it....however, I found it doesn't contain everything you learn in class though (it is more condensed). It is more focused on the material that is strictly on the HESI exit exam. Personally, I used the Saunders Comprehensive study guide for my classes and NCLEX and it helped a lot with exams.

Hello :) I'm so sorry to hear about your struggle. HESI is a rough exam! I know others on here can relate with you with about HESI. I hope you don't give up on your dream of becoming a nurse though! Thank you for sharing your experience!

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 :)

RegisteredNurseRN Thank you for the clear explanation .

Thank you for sharing this, Crystal! I wish you the best on it :)

sydhazlett would have been SOO PISSED 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Wow

Hi Drew :) No, not all require HESI.....some require ATI and some require nothing. I hope that helps!
