    Q) What study guide should you buy?
    A) Admission Assessment Exam Review, 3e (It's perfect, what I used)
    Q) Can you take breaks, leave and go to the restroom?
    A) Yes, you can take breaks between test's. Between each test I went and got a cup of coffee. I took on average 20 minutes between tests. (don't know if this is true for all locations but for mine it was!)
    Q) What should I bring with me?
    A) Bring only photo identification and school ID. Testing supplies will be issued including paper, pencil and calculator. Do not bring personal items because they will take them.
    Q) What if I don't pass the first time?
    A) You will if you watch my study videos. If not email me at nursemursepatrick@gmail.com and I will be happy to over the internet give you advice and the skills you need.

    • @readyforthehesi
      @readyforthehesi 7 років тому +3

      The reading comprehension and the math section can take up the most time. The most important topics to remember for the reading comp is identifying the main idea, identifying the author's tone, making logical inferences, and meaning of a word within the story.

    Great video. I passed the HESI with an 88. I probably would've done a lot better if I didn't wait till the last minute and cram. Your video was very helpful. I find out if I get into nursing school in November. Until then I'm my last prerequisites and watch your videos to help me get prepared. I work full time during the day so it's an evening/weekend BSN. Kind of nervous but I'm up for the challenge.

    I took my test last Friday and got a 98%. I couldn’t believe it. Two of the math questions wouldn’t come out right. I wrote them down and took them home. One of them I realized what I did wrong the second one was incorrect. But I’LL GRADUATE IN 2.5 YEARS!!!! All my gen eds and electives are done. I can’t believe how real this is. I was hasty. I took an hour and a half. I swear I’m not this smart. Just impatient. I had: A&P, Vocab, Math (all adding and multiplying mixed numbers and ratios (cross multiply, come on people, how do you not get this?)), and Reading Comp.

      Tiffanie A Aww I actually recorded this video when I first started my channel. I just never got around to editing it. Oops lol. I bought way to many books too. All you need is the "Admission Assessment Exam Review, 3e". That one was perfect. I could of saved 50 bucks just getting that. They actually had it for free at my library lol.

    Well I got official acceptance letter to nursing school. Of course that is all contingent on me passing these last prerequisite classes that I'm taking right now. But I think I'm good with that. Now my main concern is will I be able to work full time while I'm in school. I hope so because my job is with the premier healthcare system in my area and I've been with the company for 14 years. It's a good thing to already have my foot in the door here.

    • @NurseMurse
      @NurseMurse  8 років тому +1

      +beebee king
      That is awesome Beebee!! :) CONGRATS!<3 It all starts now!!
      P.s. I thinking full time work is a bit ambitious. You should see if they will let you be PRN and try to work as many hrs as you can. But hey you know yourself and your situation best. You can definitely do it but it might take you by surprise how much time you have to study etc. But everything is possible! I personally think I would struggle. Just a heads up and something to consider.

  • @tabz2489
    @tabz2489 8 років тому +13

    I took it yesterday and It was okay. I got a 87% overall.
    For me the hardest part was the 4 hour time because I usually reread the questions 3times and double check my answer. (I take about an hour to finish the reading module)
    My advice is start doing a practice test with a mcgrawhill book and time urself. & Also start reading vocabulary words, medical terms, and memorize the conversions both metric and english system.

    • @NurseMurse

    • @zoenicolelopez

      +NurseMurse My HESI is scheduled for this Saturday! :( Thank you! One other question- is physics a section on the exam?

    • @NurseMurse
      @NurseMurse  8 років тому

      +zoenicolelopez So soon! It feels great once it's finally over and you get your application turned in! :) There might be! It just depends on the school and what sections they include. I doubt it as physics has nothing to do with nursing but you could look on your nursing schools website under their hesi information is where they might have a blurp about it. At least that's how my schools website is. Let me know how it goes! :)

    • @zoenicolelopez
      @zoenicolelopez 8 років тому

      I bet! I will be taking the exam twice. These are the requirements on my school's website:
      Math,
      Reading Comprehension,
      Vocabulary and General Knowledge,
      Grammar,
      Anatomy and Physiology, and
      Critical Thinking.
      Do you think this means that biology, chemistry, and physics are going to be dismissed? Just wanting to get your opinion.
      Sorry for all of the questions and thanks again for your help!

    • @NurseMurse
      @NurseMurse  8 років тому

      It's totally ok! I do not mind at all! :) So yes there will be no physics, bio or chem! YAY :) hahah. Kill it girl!

    I took all sections of the test today but physics and got a 93 overall from studying just the HAER guide. I scored an 84 in a&p so that brought me down a bit. There were several science questions that I had no idea on so my score could have been pure luck.

    I got an 89.6% overall :) I just bought the assessment book and googled some questions online. This was super easy! I heard it's comparable to the NCLEX exam so if you do well on this, you're set for becoming a nurse! The book helps a lot. I think most schools require an 80% and above on each composite score.

    • @breklein3338
      @breklein3338 7 років тому

      I definitely recommend studying conversions! I got an 88% on math because I didn't memorize any of them!

    • @NurseMurse
      @NurseMurse  7 років тому +1

      congrats! Its kind of similar to nclex just different material and harder questions but if your a good test taker naturally you will be fine!! (and if your not you will be fine as well, just have to study really, really hard)

    Awesome video!! I studied for 2 weeks and I took the the exam A2 earlier today. Scored a 90 cumulative. I used the hesi 3rd edition the McGraw Hill. The biology was much more broader than that in the Hesi book. Somehow, I scored 100 on the chemistry and that's subject I studied the least! My school only gave 4 hours to complete all sections :-((( You motivated me! Thank you!

    • @NurseMurse

Especially on Reading and Math (because you actually going through material in details/calculating on the digital pad and pen).

    Hey Nurse Murse! Thanks for all the great videos. Working on my nursing prerecs at FRCC. I bought the hesi review book that you recommended. I am trying to decided what to do about chemistry. Do you recommend taking the chemistry and biology classes to prep for hesi or if I put in the study time at home will I be O.k? I feel good about reviewing biology at home but I'm worried about the chemistry. Thanks in advance for any advise you might have! B.T.W... Happy Snow Day!!

    • @NurseMurse
      @NurseMurse  8 років тому +1

      +Stephanie Caudill I was in same boat. Worried about the chem and decent with bio, as I just took the bio 111 class. I found that what we did in bio 111, talking about electrons and stuff was enough for the chem section! Though I memorized the first 20 elements and their proton numbers. I would do that if I was you! I think I got lucky on the chem section but the review book tells you what you need to know. Good luck and happy snow day to you too! Very cool you go to FRCC :)

    • @callarenee9644
      @callarenee9644 5 років тому

      Usually the school you are applying to has certain sections that will be on the HESI. Some people have chemistry, others have anatomy, and others have physics. It depends on the school. Save all your notes for your major classes to review before the exam. You don't really need to start preparing until around 2 months before you take the exam, but you need to figure out which subjects are on it first, that way you can knock out those courses and have them already under your belt.
