HESI A2 Entrance Exam

HESI A2 Entrance Exam
Preface:
I gathered this information from within an online study group in
which many people share questions and advice for test takers.
To my knowledge nothing in this document is taken illegally
from bought resources and used without permission of the
manufactures. PLEASE inform me if this document violates any
rules and I will remove it.
This is a combination of MANY files and posts within the
groups. I had to go through the questions and rewrite for
comprehension, reformat for this document, highlight, and
change answers from many incorrect ones. This took hours to
compile as a one stop document to entirely prepare you for the
HESI Exam. That being said: I would not charge for something
like this since it is a cumulation of many people's efforts.
However, if anyone wants to donate to me for my time and
effort as well as the sample study plan at the bottom of the
document, it would be very much appreciated!!! My cashapp is
$eliarnn.
