HESI Forgiveness Policy:
Should a student fail one component of a course, the
student may remain in the course until either the student
fails another component and is withdrawn or has passed
all other components and meets HESI Forgiveness Policy
requirements. To utilize the Grade Forgiveness Policy, the
student must attain a minimum HESI score of 850. The
conversion score will replace the lowest test grade in the
failing component and must bring the combined
component average to a minimum of 70%. The student
will then be eligible to progress to the next block. If the
component grade average is less than 70% the student
fails the course and is withdrawn.
This forgiveness policy is only applicable for Medical
Surgical Nursing in PRN0092 and Obstetrical OR Pediatric
Nursing in PRN0096. There is no forgiveness policy for
Basic Health Care Worker (HSC003), Nurse Aide Orderly

There is no HESI exam for Pharmacology/Mental
Health/Graduate Transition
Criteria for program progression.
All students are required to take Content Area Achievement Tests (HESI) during each block and
attain a minimum score of 850. HESI assessments are an indicator of how well the students will
perform on State Board NCLEX exam at the end of Practical Nursing Program. These exams provide students
with feedback on their strengths and weaknesses in content specific areas where remediation may be
necessary.
