Registered Nurse (RN)-Former Nursing Student & Current Nurse Blog My Journey of Becoming & Working as a Registered Nurse

Hey Everyone,

So today was the most nerve wrecking day of the month….it was the day of my big exit HESI that I had to pass in order to graduate. I took it this morning from 8-12 and it had 160 questions on it.

I am very happy to announce that I passed it! WOOHOOOOOOOOO I am so freaking happy and I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off me. I’m one step closer to becoming a nurse. I suppose all of that studying I did paid off. Sheeeww….I’m so glad it’s over.

I just wanted to share my good news with every one. I’m off to go to subway (my treat for passing lol). Its $5 for a foot long lol!! Thank you every one for all of your support and good luck wishes. I also want to thank God (for giving me strength and will to get through it because I couldn’t have without Him) and Ben (for all his positive-ness, pep talks, and being here for me about it).

Have a great day and weekend everyone!!

Until next time,

Sarah

Hey Everyone,

It’s that time of year again where I am having to studying for my HESI exam. Last spring of 2008 I had to take my mid-curricular HESI exam which I was super stressed out about because at my school you have only 3 times to take it and if you fail it the third time you are put a semester behind and have to take extra classes…which I didn’t want to do. However, luckily I passed it the first try. I am going to study for my exit HESI the same way I did my mid-curricular HESI…practice study questions from my Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX-RN review book. It is an awesome book and contain thousands of question that comes on a CD. In addition to my Saunder books, I just recently purchased the review book that HESI makes. I got it off Amazon for about $53.00 shipping and everything (thank you mammaw & pappaw for my Christmas present   ). I read the reviews on it and people were saying “just took my exit HESI exam and passed it using this book”, “great book helped me pass my NCLEX”….so I am going to study with this one too. I haven’t got it yet…I ordered it on Monday and it is the holidays so I know how slammed the post office is right now.

To help me and hopefully help you student nurses out there that have to take these wonderful exams…I have made a study log that includes how many days I study, how many question I practice that day, my score, what book I used, and the score I received on the practice questions. Then when it is all said and done I will post what I made on the exam which will probably be in about April or May of 2009 because that is when I take the test (fun, fun).

So CLICK HERE FOR MY EXIT HESI & NCLEX-RN STUDY LOG to see what all I have done so far.  You can also access it on the right hand side of the page posted under the title box “Pages” at any time.

Right now I am off to practice me some study question….OB here I come. I hope every one has a great week!
