Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

Hi Stephanie, I'm just now looking into Lonestar for Fall 2010, though I'm not sure if I'll have enough prereqs done in time for the deadline to have a good application score. I already have a Bachelor's degree from UH, but it was for fine arts, so I'm working on the nursing prereqs right now. I'm taking Biol 2401 A&P1 this semester at HCC, and I already have the English and Intro Psych classes. I'm planning to take Biol 2402 A&P2 and Human Growth Development in the Spring.

Does anyone know the application deadline for Fall 2010 entry at Lonestar? I want to do the part-time online/evening program. I'm planning to go to an info session in November, but don't know much about the Lonestar program right now. Trying to figure it all out. Good luck to everyone!

March 20-27 i guess.

Can I ask you lovely women a question?

Okay, I was on the website today. 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?

I know you all will get in! Hopefully, I can apply for the Nursing program for 2010 Fall semester if I play my cards right.

Yeah, .. I think I'll just go to Lee College in Baytown.

Do you have to take any test to get in? Like the H.E.S.I? I can
it find it on the website.

Thanks for your reply Stephanie. After looking over all the requirements for the last couple of days, I think my new plan of action will be as follows:

Spring 2010 - take A&PII and Lifespan
Summer 2010 - take Micro and Sociology

I would have all prereqs except for the Speech class completed by the end of Summer 2010, so I could apply for Spring 2011 entry to the program. I want to do the evening program and keep my full-time job while in school.

As for the ranking criteria, I have a 3.4 GPA in the three classes - API, Pscyh 2301, and Engl 1301, so that would put me around 7.4 point before taking HESI. So even if I get a perfect score on the HESI, that would still only put me at about 11.4 points, which is a risky score. I may take Intro Psych again to get an A and raise the GPA. I took that class over 10 years ago at UH, and I don't even remember going to it if that tells you how much I payed attention.

Anyway, I'm just going to keep taking it all one step at a time and try not to get too discouraged.
