What is HESI exam remediation?

How does HESI remediation work?

Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI) examinations are based on the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Testing Blueprint and are nationally standardized and/or custom examinations that are context-specific. BSN course outcomes and end-of-program outcomes are used to create customized examinations. Students’ clinical application and clinical judgment skills, which are critical aspects of BSN student preparation, are assessed through HESI’s online examinations. From admission to the capstone course, HESI tests are used throughout the BSN program’s curriculum.

HESI provides students with an individualized detailed remediation plan for their specific areas of weakness. Remediation is the process of identifying the need to take action to help remedy a situation that, if left unresolved, could have negative consequences. Whereas implementing intervention strategies may aid in successfully addressing the situation and improving outcomes.

Students are required to remediate based on their individual HESI test score following the administration of a HESI custom/specialty and/or exit examination. Lower HESI scores require more intense remediation, whereas higher HESI scores require less remediation. The student’s HESI score conversion is indicative of their success in the program and on the NCLEX exam for licensure.

Students who score below 900 on any custom or nationally normed standardized examination must complete a HESI Remediation Plan of Action (as outlined in the HESI Testing & Remediation Policy) (s) based on their individual HESI exam scores.

To progress to the next nursing course, the HESI Nursing Remediation Plan of Action must be developed, initiated, and completed successfully by the last official day of the semester. Students will also fill out a HESI Remediation Plan of Action Contract (a contract template will be provided to the student) that outlines their individual plan. Both the student and the course faculty will sign this document.

If a student receives a score of less than 900 on any HESI exam, they must complete the identified remediation activities and/or assignments as outlined in the HESI Testing & Remediation Policy and HESI Remediation Plan of Action in order to progress (see Academic Standards & Progression Policy). HESI Remediation Plans of Action are graded as Pass or Fail.

As a result, it is the student’s responsibility to provide evidence of successful completion of remediation and to schedule a meeting with the course faculty. If the student does not follow these instructions or complete the HESI Remediation Plan of Action as directed, they will receive an “E” in the course. This will affect the student’s ability to progress and, and may result in not only course failure but dismissal from the BSN program depending on the number of course failures the student has obtained.

Additional Information Concerning HESI Testing & Remediation

Students who have not successfully met the course guidelines for any HESI examination must be accountable for their remediation by accessing their own HESI remediation plan via the Evolve website by clicking here within two weeks of the exam results becoming available. Students must contact and schedule a remediation meeting with the course leader/designee of the course in which the HESI was housed within one week of the beginning of the following semester.

Prior to attending the remediation meeting, a proposed remediation plan of action based on the student’s individual identified deficiencies on the specific HESI exam should be completed. Failure to schedule a meeting or complete a remediation plan may have a negative impact on a student’s success in courses throughout the BSN curriculum and success on the NCLEX-RN (licensure exam). Students may be required to complete further remediation if the course faculty deems it essential.
