4 HESI-A2 TEST INFORMATION Health Educatin Systems, Inc. (HESI) is a cmpany that prduces tests which assist in evaluating whether nursing applicants have the knwledge and skills t be successful in nursing schl. The Alvin Cmmunity Cllege nursing prgrams require applicants t make a high enugh scre n the HESI Admissin Assessment Exam (HESI-A2 test) in rder t be cnsidered fr admissin. An acceptable HESI-A2 test scre is mandatry fr all nursing applicants regardless f educatinal backgrund, n exceptins. Yu may nt substitute any ther test scres fr HESI test scres.

HESI-A2 test dates at ACC - If yu dn't see a test date in the time range that yu want at the abve web page, either thse dates are already full, r dates in that time range have nt been pened yet. Yu will have t check back later t see if desired dates shw up n the screen, r call the Enrllment Services Center t find ut whether they will ffer the HESI n desired dates HESI-A2 at ther lcatins - there is n central web page that lists all HESI dates & lcatins. T take the HESI- A2 elsewhere, yu will have t find a testing lcatin yurself and ask them when their test dates are. Check with clleges that have nursing prgrams; sme f them will prbably ffer the HESI-A2. HESI-A2 DEADLINE If yu take the HESI-A2 at ACC, the deadline t take it is the nursing applicatin deadline. Any HESI scre reprts frm tests taken at ACC n r befre the nursing applicatin deadline will be accepted after the deadline if the scres meet minimum criteria in the "HESI-A2 TEST SCORE" sectin belw. If yu take the HESI-A2 elsewhere, the deadline t take it is far enugh ahead s the scre reprt reaches the nursing department by the nursing applicatin deadline. It culd take the HESI cmpany a week r lnger t send the reprt. Any HESI scre reprts frm tests taken at lcatins ther than ACC arriving after the nursing applicatin deadline will nt be accepted. HESI-A2 TEST SCORE CRITERIA Yu must take all f these five sectins f the HESI-A2 test: Math, Reading Cmprehensin, Vcabulary & General Knwledge, Grammar, Anatmy & Physilgy, and Critical Thinking. The ACC nursing department des nt cunt the scres f any ther sectins yu may have taken. Minimum required scres: (1) at least 70 n the Reading Cmprehensin sectin; and (2) at least 65 fr the Cumulative scre, which is the average f the abve sectins. (3) Critical Thinking scre is NOT used fr ranking purpses. We use this sectin fr infrmatinal purpses. Sectin scres may be cmbined frm tw r mre tests subject t the waiting perid fr any re-takes f individual sectins described under "Re-Taking the HESI-A2". Scres must be frm HESI-A2 tests taken n mre than 5 years ag as f the nursing applicatin deadline; therwise the scres are t ld and yu will have t re-take the abve sectins. RE-TAKING THE HESI-A2 Yu may re-take sectins yu want t imprve n; there is a 30-day waiting perid between re-takes. HESI sectins re-taken 30 r mre days apart: the highest scre f all re-takes f that sectin will be used when we calculate yur cumulative scre. HESI sectins re-taken less than 30 days apart: the earlier sectin scre will be used regardless f which scre is the highest. All re-takes must cmply with the "HESI-A2 deadline" and "HESI-A2 test scre" paragraphs Alvin Cmmunity Cllege Assciate Degree Nursing Vcatinal Nursing Prgram: June 2016 Admissin Page 3
5 COST OF THE HESI-A2 TEST It csts $74 (price subject t change withut ntice) t take the HESI-A2 at Alvin Cmmunity Cllege regardless f hw many sectins f the test yu take. The cst is set by each testing lcatin, s it may cst mre r less t take the HESI-A2 elsewhere. GETTING YOUR HESI SCORES TO THE ACC NURSING DEPARTMENT If yu take the HESI-A2 at Alvin Cmmunity Cllege, the nursing department autmatically gets yur scre reprt. If yu take the HESI A2 elsewhere, yu must pay a fee t have the fficial scre reprt ed t the nursing department at nursing@alvincllege.edu Fr instructins n hw t d this, g here: y%20f%20my%20hesi%20transcript It culd them take a week r lnger after yu pay t yur scre reprt t the nursing department, s be sure yu request the reprt far enugh ahead fr it t get t the nursing department by the nursing applicatin deadline. WE DO NOT ACCEPT HESI SCORE REPORTS FROM NURSING APPLICANTS. PREPARING FOR THE HESI-A2 TEST A gd way t prepare fr the HESI-A2 is t buy a study guide specifically fr this exam. One such guide is HESI Admissin Assessment Exam Review, 3 rd editin. Yu can buy this frm the ACC bk stre ( r nline at sites such as Amazn r Barnes & Nble by searching n "HESI-A2". The study guide will include samples f test questins as well as infrmatin regarding test questin frmats. It will highlight imprtant cncepts and prvide tips fr studying and test-taking. Anther useful study tl is t create r jin a study grup that meets regularly t review material n the exam. Alvin Cmmunity Cllege des nt currently ffer any HESI prep curses. Yu may be able t find prep curses by ggling n "HESI-A2 prep curse". OTHER HESI INFORMATION T find ut if there are additinal HESI-A2 test dates at ACC, r whether a particular test date is still in effect, r details abut HESI testing prcedures, r payment/cancellatin/refund prcedures, call the Enrllment Services Center If yu have a dcumented disability and may need accmmdatins fr testing, cntact Eileen Crss r ecrss@alvincllege.edu BEFORE registering fr r taking the HESI-A2. IF YOU INTEND TO USE YOUR HESI SCORES TO APPLY TO MORE THAN ONE NURSING SCHOOL, yu need t find ut whether the ther nursing schls require HESI t be taken n their campus (sme schls will nt accept HESI scres taken ff-campus). If they d require HESI t be taken at their campus, yu shuld take the HESI there and then pay t have an fficial scre reprt ed t ACC. This will enable yu t use yur HESI scres t apply t bth ACC and t the ther nursing schl. Nte - if the HESI yu take at the ther cllege des nt include sme f the sectins we require, yu will have t take thse sectins either at ACC r anther schl that ffers thse sectins.

This des NOT include utside study time, clinical preparatin time, r cmmute time. Students shuld budget at least 2 hurs f utside study time fr each hur spent in class. While sme students are emplyed during their enrllment, a full-time wrk schedule f 40 hurs/week is extremely difficult t maintain. Wrk schedules must be flexible and planned arund classrm and clinical requirements, since lecture and clinical hurs may change frm semester t semester.

The LVN is an imprtant member f the health care team, prviding basic patient care thrugh a directed scpe f practice that is supervised by Registered Nurses, Physicians, Physician's Assistants, Dentists, and Pdiatrists. LVNs prvide basic care such as taking vital signs, applying dressings, helping with persnal hygiene, administering medicatins, and bserving/reprting symptms, reactins t treatment/medicatin, and prgress. LVNs are n their feet mst f the time: walking, bending, stping, reaching, and lifting/mving patients are required. LVNs generally wrk a 40-hur week which may include nights, weekends, hlidays, and/r vertime. LVNs may wrk in acute care facilities, lng-term care facilities, hme health care, schls, clinics, physicians' ffices, and a number f ther health care settings. A career as an LVN can be very rewarding fr thse wh enjy being f service t thers. 22. What pay des an LVN make? LVNs are in demand!

What is the difference between an LVN and an RN? In general, RNs have a wider scpe f respnsibility, perfrm mre cmplex tasks, earn higher pay, and supervise LVNs. Texas law (Nursing Practice Act) and Texas Bard f Nursing guidelines (Differentiated Essential Cmpetencies) describe the scpe f LVN duties. Each facility that emplys nurses designates LVN tasks within Texas law and BON guidelines, and this varies frm facility t facility. 24. D I have t be an LVN first befre I can becme an RN?
