HESI Grammar Review and Tips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- I recently took the Hesi A2 and wanted to share some grammar practice test questions. Most of the grammar questions were simply "which sentence is grammatically correct?" or "Which word/phrase is used incorrectly in this sentence?"
Topics to be aware of for Hesi Grammar:
- Subject / Verb agreement
- Independent Clause / Dependent Clause (look for key words like, "before", "as soon as", "although" to indicate the dependent clause: "Although he didn't like hospital environments, Mark visited his sick grandmother in ICU". The dependent clause is "Although....environments", the independent clause is all of the words after that)
- Good vs well
- Among vs between
- When to capitalize North ("in the North") vs "drive north for 5 miles"
- Who vs whom (use whom if it follows prepositions "to whom" "for whom" "with whom are you going to the movies?")
- When to use "I" vs "me"
- Become / became (She had become popular after winning a gold medal; She became popular after winning a gold medal -either is okay, but not "she had became popular".)
Let me know if you have any additional grammar topics you want to review, or questions about the Hesi grammar section. Good luck on your Hesi exam!
I just took my HESI A2 exam and only failed the grammar part. But after seeing your video, I feel confident for I was tested on similar questions as well. Thank you!
Same! I failed the grammar. Which shocked me because I’m usually well with grammar.
I hear you! If I hadn't heard otherwise, I'd have thought I could take the grammar section without any studying! I'm pretty good at it, too. But this test seems to have some really quirky stuff. I don't even agree with half of it. But nursing school is the same way - I don't agree with half the answers, but I'm learning how to answer test questions in a way that satisfies the nursing Gods!! 🤗
Same thing happened to me, passed everything with flying colors but flopped on grammar🤣
@@dominicboudreaux1067 good luck on the next try!
wow thank you so much. Back in the 90's they didnt have all the resources like we do now. its soo much easier to find information on the web. I and everyone who see's your video will appreciate and be grateful you made it.
Thank you so much for explaining this!!!!
This video has helped me so much! All your videos are excellent, please continue making them.
Thanks! I'll try to get another vocab one out soon!
That was a great review. Thank you so much. I will be testing Feb 2023
Good luck! I'm halfway through my first nursing semester. It goes by fast!
I don't know if you still con receive notifications from this channel. I wish you made more videos! This video really helped me understand where I made all my mistakes in the grammar part. Thank you very much for sharing with us!
I'm so glad to hear that! I had planned on documenting my whole nursing school journey 🤣😂 but it just didn't happen. School kept me busy and I just graduated in December. I will definitely try to make a video regarding my nurse residency experience, though! I currently have covid 🤕 didn't even get it at the hospital. Got it visiting my parents when I had a few days off 🌴😖🤨 good luck with your nursing journey!
@@NursingConnection 🤣🤣 I know the feeling! Congratulations by the way! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾

how did it go?

This is just amazing, Thankyou. I would like to see ,if you have any suggestions for chemistry or anathomy or physiology
For me the chemistry had a healthy number of questions about protons and neutrons, the periodic table (atomic number is the number of protons in an atom; isotopes have the same atomic number but different number of neutrons; the number of P+N= element’s mass number). Half life - an isotope’s half-life is the period over which half of the material will decay. Understand Periodic table organization ; know the four types of bonds or interactions: covalent, ionic, hydrogen bonds, and van der Waals interactions; know what a catalyst is ; know the chemical formula for common items like ammonia NH3, baking soda, salt (NaCl) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and carbon dioxide. Know acid, base and neutral PH. Know which elements are transition metals. Know some basic facts about them like: it's easy for transition metals to lose electron, good conductors of heat and electricity and they are shiny. How to convert grams to moles. And know where the most popular elements are located in the table and what charge they have because they like to ask stuff like "where is carbon found? Or what is potassium's charge? Etc.
Hey thanks so much for this. On the last question I have something similar that I am confused about.
Which of the following is grammatically correct?
A. After receiving intravenous antibiotics, Jarod's health improved.
B. Growing up, Tom's father always read Tom a bedtime story.
C. Leaving the door open behind her, Meg stepped into the room.
D. Before travelling abroad, passports were obtained by the students.
The book says the answer is C. May you please explain why that is?
This is tricky and honestly, I feel like several really aren't terrible. Here's my best guess why the others are considered incorrect: A) a lot of books I used to prepare for Hesi said to avoid putting a small clause at the end of the sentence because it sounds disjointed, and you should try to avoid using commas with separated clauses if the sentence can be rewritten with no comma (this applies to D, also); so they would prefer this to be written "Jarod's health improved after receiving antibiotics". B) sentence is confusing to the reader because "growing up" should refer to the next person mentioned in the sentence. It makes it seem like we're about to hear a story about Tom's father growing up. Instead, we're hearing about Tom growing up. This would be better worded as "Growing up, Tom was always read a bedtime story by his father". (See how "growing up" is placed next to "Tom" in this example); D, this can be written with no comma as "The students obtained passports before traveling abroad". Leaving C as the remaining answer. Also, C can't be rewritten without the comma. If we changed it to "Meg stepped into the room, leaving the door open behind her " we still need a comma. (In other words, in A and D you could just put the stuff that came after the comma first in the sentence and avoid using a comma)
Taking my hesi exam tomorrow! Wish me luck!!!
How did u do? I take mine tomorrow
I hope it went well!
Thank you!
Is that all they ask
When do you use with vs to?
I'm so sorry I didn't catch the question - what is vs?
@@NursingConnection I am trying to say why is the question about the doctor's order with not to?
@@fatalconclusion5651 i understand now 😊 For me it's just something I commonly see in medical or health literature, "in accordance with established guidelines" etc. But I found an additional explanation via Google search that I like, so I will paste it here but note that i didn't think of it myself 😂"With" is used to describe two things that exist or act together. In this case, the prescription was filled in a manner that matched the doctor's order. But I would say that "to" is the next best choice!
Thank you
