Preparing for the HESI exam can be overwhelming, but we have organized everything you need to help you study efficiently.
You'll find all the study materials for the HESI exams through your Elsevier account. Elsevier is an online platform that gives students access to textbooks, case studies, practice exams and other resources. You'll take several HESI exams throughout your program, including Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Management, Medical-Surgical Nursing, and the Exit Exam.
