HESI RN Exit Exam I V1 Premier NCLEX-RN Readiness Assessment for Nursing Program Completion 2025 Edition

The HESI RN Exit Exam I (commonly Version 1 or V1), from Elsevier's Health Education Systems Incorporated (HESI), is the initial iteration of the capstone evaluation for Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) students, serving as a precise NCLEX-RN success forecaster with 96–98% reliability. This 150-question, 4-hour adaptive test features multiple-choice, multiple-response, and hot-spot items spanning nine key areas: Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Medical-Surgical Nursing, Maternal/Infant, Pediatrics, Psychiatric, Community Health, Research, and Leadership/Management—prioritizing clinical reasoning and safe practice. Example content includes managing DKA with insulin drips, assessing compartment syndrome (e.g., 6 P's: pain, pallor, pulselessness), and delegation ethics. Scored on a 0–1,500 scale (850+ indicates strong NCLEX odds), it delivers performance breakdowns for remediation. Delivered through HESI Compass, it's a graduation staple; prep via HESI Review for the NCLEX, Quizlet sets (800+ V1-specific questions), and BoostPrep yields 950+ scores in 4–8 weeks. Vital for transitioning to professional RN roles across healthcare spectra.
