Kingwood Lonestar QUEST Program 2015

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hey everyone,

It's almost time to start turning in applications for QUEST 2015 at Lonestar Kingwood ? I thought I would start a thread for the 2015?applicants since I haven't seen one yet. Anybody re-taking their HESI? I can't decide if I should or not- I have no idea how competitive the application scores are this year!

A bit about me: I have a BA from UofH (double major Psychology & German Language, Magna Cum Laude) and I just had my first child on 10/27. I like that QUEST is flexible as far as learning at home goes, but I look forward to the labs and clinicals too (if I get in!) good luck to everyone ?

FYI I just found out that Lonestar is not offering Quest this year (and possibly never). If you check the website, the application dates are no longer listed. I emailed Kingwood and they confirmed.

I found out on Monday when I went in to ask a question. I've prob never been more angry in my life- it still says that the app dates are Dec- Jan online where the program info is. It's way too late to apply for the spring.. I'm going to apply to UTHSC for next fall I guess

I know. Me too. I find it very unprofessional that they did not email or contact me directly as soon as the program was canceled, as I had a lengthy sit down meeting with one of the Kingwood advisors earlier this year specifically about the Quest program. During that meeting, I made it very clear that I was quitting my job to take prerequisites, etc. to prepare for the Quest program. It is going to have major financial consequences for my family - our first baby is due in early January. Not only will my nursing degree be delayed, but now we will require additional daycare, etc. I had an 11.9 score so felt good about getting into Quest, but due to prerequisites (and my grades in them) I do not think I will qualify for UTHSC or the various other second degree BSNs for quite some time. Tomorrow is another day.

I met some students in Quest now and they said it's actually horrible... so maybe it's a good thing that they cancelled it ;)

Congratulations on your baby! I just had my first baby about 7 weeks ago- you're going to love being a mom :) good luck!
