The HESI Comprehensive Exam is a standardized test that nursing students may be required to take before graduating. It is a comprehensive nurse exam that tests the student' overall knowledge in key areas of the nursing curriculum. In many ways, the HESI Comprehensive Exam is similar to the National Council of Licensing Examination for the Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN) and, therefore, performance on the HESI Comprehensive Exam is considered to be a good predictor of a student's readiness for the licensing exam.
