LoneStar CyFair College Fall 2009

Hello all. Congrats to all those who have been accepted in the porgram. It must feel Amazing!! I graduated from Cy-Fair college with my Associate Degree in Science this past May. I applied to the program last semester and was unable to get in. So now I am in the process of taking a few of my courses over so that my B's will become A's and also retaking the HESI to boost up those scores as well. The first time I took it I scored a 92% in the math and an 81% in the reading. I was curious to know (If you do not mind) your scores on the HESI and also on the 12 point scale. This is an extremely competitive and stressful process that I am hoping will pay off for me soon. Thank You for your time and GOOD LUCK to you all while in the program.

I believe it's a pass/fail type of thing where you have to get a certain score or above... try searching the Texas forums for Cy-fair Pharm test and some results will pop up. I think you have to score over a 800 or something, I can't really remember the exact score. I'm taking Pharm right now at Kingwood in addition to all of the other Nursing I classes. For me, our Pharm has not been hard, alot of writing for the most part, and knowing the adverse effects, drug-drug interactions, pharmacokinectics and that sort of thing was went over in alot of our assignments and test. I think I may come out of this class with an A, at least I hope I do. I think if you choose to take Pharm with Cy-fair also, you guys won't have it your first semester... I think I remember reading that some where on here. I believe it's either before your second semester or concurrent with it. I just think it's crazy that even if you take Pharm with another school in the Lone Star system, Cy-fair won't accept it... but they do from what I hear, produce great nurses so they are doing something right!

Good luck to all of you.

Hey Candy 82,

I saw your post and thought i would respond. I am in my first semester of nursing school at kingwood and my points were 11.789, the cut off was 11.4. The cut off for north harris was 11.1 this year. I believe the one for cyfair was right around the same as the one for kingwood. Hopefully you will get in soon, good luck to you! Hope this helps

does anyone know anything about the varicella vaccine? What if you had the chickenpox as a child. If now record, how do you prove you had them? Does Cy Fair require the vaccine to be administered? I know some colleges only need a letter from you stating that you had them.
thanks

Yeah, I enjoyed the CPR class as well. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Time went by pretty fast and met some nice people...

I have a question. Does anybody know what Cyfair's first semester schedule looks like? The curriculum shows the classes but I would like to know what classes are taken online and what times are the others scheduled. TIA.

thanks djNyla

I would love this schedule cuz I would be able to put the boys on the bus and head off to school instead of having to put them in before and after school programs... save some money! At least for the first semester. I keep reading this program is a four semester program but every curriculum I see there are at least five, so Im also curious to know if we will have the summer off. And if so, how does that work?
