Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

I just met with an advisor yesterday at The Woodlands location. She said the cut off score from last year that made it in was 11.49 - that's really high. I am just getting started with all this as well. I do have a BS in Psychology already, but I still have to take the developmental psych because the class I took at A&M did not cover the entire life span up to death. My plan is to take this psych class during the 3 week mini session in December and then take A&P II in the Spring. I still have to take the HESI, but will do that in the spring also I guess. I am working full time right now, so I think I will just take 1 class at a time so I'm not overwhelmed. It has a been a long time since I was in college. Good luck to all!!

I am also looking into applying to Lonestar Montg. for their nursing program. However, I am a little confused and the man that I spoke with on the phone was not helpful at all.

Was I correct to read:

Are these all the pre-req's? Because of the website, it only had Human A&P, English, & Psychology.

Human A&P I, English, Psychology, Human A&P II, Principles of Sociology, Lifespan Growth & Development, Speech, and Medical Microbiology?

The only pre-req's are those first three but the other classes bascially award you extra points - is that right? I am so confused. I already have my BS with concentrations in Sociology and Govt. I have take Human A&P, many English courses, a couple of psych classes, too many sociology classes to count as well as microbiology. My science classes are over five years old and I would probably have to take a refresher course. Does anyone know if these are available online?

Please help if you can! I know that I will get more answers when I attend the info session next month but I am trying to get everything lined up in order.

Thanks!

Thanks Stephanie! I just really need to speak with an advisor and then register for the refresher course(s). I really don't want to retake all of my science courses, but I may not have much of a choice. But if that means getting into program, then so be it! I'll do what it takes!!!

Hey I was going to apply in January and was trying to see if anybody knew when I should take my Hesi test?????

Hi on the lone star college cyfair college nursing department site it states that Biology 2404 is now an acceptable refresher course for both Biology 2401 & 2402.

Does anyone know if LoneStar (any campus) will accept HESI scores from another institution? I took my HESI in October and did really well so I was hoping to use those scores and save myself the added stress of having to retest again.

My DH and I are moving possibly to the Houston area and I will have to give up my seat at a nursing program that I will probably get accepted to for spring 2010. Fortunately, I have completed all the prereqs and all but one gen ed class for the LoneStar nursing program so I think I should be ok for their requirements.

Any information that you can provide regarding acceptance of the HESI exam from another school would be great.

It's been a long haul (8 years) and I am eager to get started - as I am sure all of you are too!

Good Luck to everyone!

Thanks.

whats the application deadline for the fall 2010 program at lonestar!!????????????

Can apply at the end of spring 2010?? thats when i would be done with all pre reqs!

I'm going to be applying to CyFair for fall 2010, and I can't wait to get it all in!!! After this semester is over, I'll have 8 points for my classes, so all that's left is the HESI. I'm nervous about it, but I took the practice test in the Evolve Reach book and got a 90, which would give me an overall total of 11.6. Now I'm just praying that the real deal isn't much more difficult.

On another note, is anyone else trying to hunt down their shot records? The only ones that I have are the ones that my mom kept and there's no doctor signature. It looks like I'm going to have to re-do some or have titers drawn (if I can get my insurance to cover them).

To answer a couple of Q's-

Spacecitygroover- The application deadline is 3/1/10. You would need to have all but four hours complete by the end of this semester to get the full four points. It's a pain and kind of leaves you hanging for a semester; believe me, I understand. All I have left to take in the spring is micro, but I still have to take another class to be eligible for my loan. I'm going to go ahead and take college algebra, since I'll eventually need it to get my BSN and it should be a pretty easy class for me. If you'll have more than one class to take in the spring, you could apply for spring 2011 entrance. That application period opens in the summer.

Siennah- At the info session that I attended in October, we were told that yes, they are now accepting HESI scores from other schools. I believe that you'll need to give them your score in person though vs. it updating automatically as it would if you were to take it at a LSC campus. Oh and, welcome to Houston!

Good luck, everyone!!!
