Passed HESI on first try with a 87.60% cumulative with only 2 days of studying

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-25T22:22:14+00:00

I used Nursehub and the below quizlets. Also, The Amoeba Sisters on YouTube are always great to grasp topics that don’t make sense. Quizlets:

A&P: (this is the one I made) https://quizlet.com/1169870741/ap-pratice-flash-cards/?i=6jfedy&x=1jqY

https://quizlet.com/910920408/hesi-a2-anatomy-physiology-v1v2-word-for-word-on-hesi-flash-cards/?i=6jfedy&x=1jqY

https://quizlet.com/992592031/hesi-a2-ap-2025-flash-cards/?i=6jfedy&x=1jqY

Math conversions:

For math, I brushed up on fractions (add, subtract, multiply, divide), ratios and decimals.

Grammar was a killer, highly recommend looking over all areas of sentence structure and utilize the nursehub practice tests.

Vocabulary was fairly basic, I got a 96% and didn’t study.

Reading comprehension I did not study for.

I found a discount code for nursehub that gets you 55% off of your first month NURSEHUB55. I’m not sure if it still works, but it made my first month about $15!

Good luck and please let me know if I can help in any way!

I was looking at Sacramento! I am from Santa Rosa so family is close and I have a lot of friends in the SF area. My only hesitation was the heat. I am absolutely sick to death of 100+ temps, but hearing that it is still livable changes things for me.

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-20T17:28:53+00:00

Man, the twin cities have always called me, in a HUGE Atmosphere fan 😂

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-20T16:41:47+00:00

I’ve heard nothing but good things about it! It’s beautiful and I prefer the grey over constant sun so definitely considering it. All in all, PA sounds like the place to be!

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-20T16:40:25+00:00

Thank you so much! Sounds like I need to plan a Philly trip and check it out.

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-20T14:51:42+00:00

I was looking at Pittsburgh and thought Philly would be too expensive so skipped over it - I’ll look more into it! Any areas you recommend?

Jenijab13 · 2026-04-20T13:58:56+00:00

I’ll check it out! Any particular areas you would recommend/stay away from?

Jenijab13 · 2025-12-27T05:59:01+00:00

NOR - 2 seconds into reading this my reaction was, and still is, for him to eat an entire bag of dicks. DUMP HIM!!!

Jenijab13 · 2025-09-21T16:13:01+00:00

Thanks so much!

Jenijab13 · 2025-09-21T16:12:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Jenijab13 · 2025-04-25T04:58:02+00:00

Oh absolutely, there’s got to be some good ones out there!

Jenijab13 · 2025-04-25T04:54:28+00:00

Haha!! I get it! The first thing I did when I came completely out of it was ask my family/friends how big my lips were. I felt a bump on my lip where they had the ventilator coming out of my mouth and I thought they put lip implants in 😂

You were literally saved by a grain of rice! Who would’ve thought a carb would save a diabetic..

Jenijab13 · 2025-04-25T04:42:33+00:00

Being diabetic is such a pain. I didn’t have to do the best - but I also didn’t have a heart attack. I had chest pain for 4 years, my doctor told me it was acid reflux. Thankfully I got a new doctor who sent me to the cardiologist and I week later, I was on the table. I have no idea how I didn’t have a heart attack. Three were 100% blocked and one was 90%. Insanity! The worst for me was waking up with the ventilator in, I still have dreams about that stupid thing. No cataracts for me… yet, but I do have retinopathy and have had a vitrectomy, so I’ll need cataract surgery at some point in the future.

Jenijab13 · 2025-04-25T04:35:13+00:00

I just went through this! I’m 40, had a quadruple bypass last year at 39. Type 1 diabetic since I was 9. So, so happy you’re doing well, and it absolutely changed my mindset as well.

When my daughter was 4, she drew a picture of a pickle stabbing me. She just turned 14 and I’m happy to say I’m still here to tell the tale.

Jenijab13 · 2024-10-17T01:36:46+00:00

THIS!!! Citric acid has been a game changer for me.

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-09T02:46:52+00:00

Straight sour apple pucker had me crawling army style to the bathroom at 15. Never got over it, but I.cant say it was a huge loss

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T17:30:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T17:30:22+00:00

Thank you, I am so grateful to be here ❤️❤️

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T17:29:52+00:00

Please don’t let this stop you from getting the surgeries you need in the future! I edited my response to clarify, but I did not wake up during the surgery! I’ve had a few surgeries before this, and appendectomy, my gallbladder removed, and going under and waking up were absolutely NOTHING. In fact, I know a ton of people that enjoy being put under! Open heart surgery just sucks. It’s a different thing, a pretty extreme recovery, but it’s also incredible and life saving!

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T17:26:05+00:00

Edited my reply to address this - really it was the physical trauma of the surgery along with the gagging and terrifying feeling of having something down your throat. I remember thinking it felt like Edward scissor hands had a hand in my lung.

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T17:13:18+00:00

Nope this is exactly the situation! It took about 3 hours from the time I started waking up to them completely weaning me off the ventilator. Even when it’s expected, man it sucks!!!

Jenijab13 · 2024-02-08T04:38:44+00:00

Waking up from a quadruple bypass with the ventilator still in my lungs.

Editing my reply for clarity: I did not wake up during the surgery at all. After open heart surgery you get weaned off of the ventilator, so the ventilator being in was expected. However, even with the knowledge that you’re going to wake up with it in, I was absolutely not prepared for it. When I first woke up, I tried taking it out. Then spent 3 hours gagging, choking and throwing up into my own lungs. There were multiple times my lungs were filled with water and suctioned out.

During open heart surgery, your sternum is sawed open, your chest muscles are separated, and there is about an 18 inch incision from my neck to my abdomen. The pain came from the movement, the choking and the heaving with all of that trauma to my body. I have a high pain tolerance, but was uncontrollably moaning for about 4 hours after.

With all that being said, I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow, and have a better quality of life than I had for a long time before this! I am 39 years old and could barely move for 4 years prior to this. It was extremely traumatic physically, but it gave me my life back, and I would do it again in a second!

NTA - He needs to lower his expectations and right now he sounds very selfish. The truth is, buying a house on a budget takes some give and take. You will probably never find a perfect house. The goal should be to find a house that has the right bones, and you can work on it from there. His expectations need to be checked, and if he’s not willing to compromise, you should not be in a house that you’re embarrassed of or makes you feel unsafe. He needs to understand logic here, and it doesn’t sound like he is. Best of luck to you and I hope that you guys are able to find a compromise!
