Hi Dj, thanks so much for the great response. I went ahead and enrolled for the fall semester, so I'm hoping to be able to test out of math 0308 so that I can get into API in the fall. I am currently in math 0306 and I'm passing it with an A so I'm hoping it won't be a problem. I figured I will be able to get all the prereqs out of the way during the fall and spring semester since I'm taking 2 out of the 3 this semester. I enrolled for Kingwood for the fall so that's why I was curious whether or not they were included in the application process for the other schools because when I looked up the actual application dates Montgomery, Tomball, and North Harris all have the application period of Jan-March, and then Cypress has one in both Jan-March, then one from June-July, and then Kingwood is from July-Sept. So if you were to apply for the fall semester I'm assuming you'd have to choose from Montgomery, Tomball, North Harris or Cypress right? Then you'd have to apply for Kingwood seperately? At this rate I don't think I'll have the classes done in time for the application period for fall 2010 so that would push me back applying next summer for Kingwoods program. Do they offer shorter classes in the spring like the 8 wks courses that you could take to get those last couple prereq's done in order to apply for spring semester?

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks djNyla for all the info!! Actually I plan to do that same dance on graduation day!! I've gotten so used to checking the mail all day everyday, today I didn't know what to do with myself. I guess now I can focus on my CPR class and making sure all my shots are up to date.

Ophelia -

As far as offering shorter classes, I'm not sure about that one. You would have to check the college's class schedule. I do know that there is a "mini-semester" offered in Dec-Jan (a 4-week course) for some classes. I remember taking trigonometry that way a long time ago.

I don't know if you would have to apply to Kingwood separately. If Kingwood is in the LoneStar College System, I would think it would be the same application. When I applied I remember only being offered 4 choices, I cannot remember if Kingwood was one of them. Try looking at their website or calling the secretary of the ADN program.

Were you able to sign up for the Friday CPR class? One of the girls in my pharmacology course said her friend took this course and liked it...so that's a plus.

Actually, I wasn't able to sign up for the FRI class because I have no babysitter for my 4 yr old. I will try to get into the Sat class though, maybe this weekend. Please let me know how the Fri class went so I can know what to look forward to on Sat. Thanks!!

Luckymama - I have no idea! I hope they do accept other college's credit. I would hate to have to take it again, but then again, it might be helpful to have a refresher. I've heard 2 different things regarding that. One person on another forum posted they do not take the other course from another university, another person in the program said they might and it all depends. You could always email the question, they get back to you within a day. Here's the email address:

Cy-Fair.NursingDept@lonestar.edu

If and when you do email that question, do you mind posting the response here to the forum? Thanks!

IMMUNIZATIONS

Hey everyone!

I submitted a question last night to the CyFair program regarding what immunizations were needed to start the program since they only had Hepatitis B posted. Here's the response:

Dear Nyla,

Here is a list of the immunizations required. (The HepB series is listed because it takes a while to do.)


Hepatitis B
PPD
MMR
TDap
Varicella

I hope this helps.

If you are not sure if you are immune to these, call a clinic to get blood drawn for a titer and have them give you the needed shots right then. Some of them have a 30 day wait period from the first one to the second one if you are not immune.

For you guys wondering if you can transfer Pharm from another school to Cy-fair, the answer is no. Cy-fair will not take credit from another schools Pharm but will administer a Pharm test that is supposedly very hard if you decide to take Pharm anywhere other than their campus, even if it is within the Lone Star College System. If you pass, I believe you get a pass on Pharm. If you fail it, you have to take their Pharm anyway. Every school teaches Pharm differently so Cy-fair's way, may not be North Harris or HCC's way. Many Cy-fair students have said and decided to take Pharm with Cy-fair rather than trying to past their Pharm test... I'm not saying is not doable, you may have other results.

Thank you TeeRN2Be!

That's nice to know. So is this exam just a pass/fail kind or does it give you a letter grade if you're trying to test out of it because you've taken it at another college? I'm just curious. Have you already taken pharmacology? Is it case study focus, or knowing the implications, responsibilities, adverse effects, interactions, MOAs etc...?
