   rjsalimi replied to djNyla's topic in Texas

   Pharm is not a prereq. We had a handful of people take it the first semester while taking nursing classes. I took mine the semester before I was accepted into the program. Did you send your transcripts to Lone star for evaluation from HCC? This is ve...

   rjsalimi replied to djNyla's topic in Texas

   2 evenings and one all day clinical. I'm not sure that's considered full time. It's 3 different classes. Lecture (2nights), Lab(1 night after the lecture), Clinical (1 day for 10 hours). I work full-time also so if I'm not at work or in class, than ...

   If I remember correctly, they opened up the application period July 15 and it lasted 2 months. We recieved acceptance letters in mid-November. It seemed like an eternity. As far as a study guide for the reading, when I took my Hesi , there was a anot...

   rjsalimi replied to djNyla's topic in Texas

   I have an IPAQ pda with a nursing bundle program that was recommended by other nursing students. I bought it on nursingcentral.com. It cost about 150 when I bought it in January. It's great. I don't have to drag my books to clinical with me.

    rjsalimi replied to djNyla's topic in Texas

    I believe the point cutoff was 11.4 for the Spring 2009. From what I hear, it was a little lower the year before so it's getting a bit more competative each year. My group did our clinicals for the first semester at Health South Rehab. The hospitals...

    Yes, they had calculators there. Do what I did in regards to practicing the math and you'll be fine. The reading is what trips people up. I know your probably thinking, I know how to read and whats the big deal. I don't know that you can really stud...

    rjsalimi replied to djNyla's topic in Texas

    Kyla, I am just finishing my first semester in the ADN program at Kingwood. I was worried about the HESI also due to the fact I'd been out of school for 25+ years. What I did was copy the Hesi. The math and reading. There are several math problems in...

    Hi Pink, OMG, I can't believe all the homework. I have my first clinical on Saturday at Health South. I'm a little nervous though but I'm sure that's normal. And your right, we're all busy but need to drop a line in here every once in awhile.

    rjsalimi replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Everything I own is second hand except for the recliner that our kids and myself bought my husband for X-mas. With that said, I'd buy a new sofa (replacing the futon) and a matching love seat. Also would by a bedroom set to replace the set we picked ...
