Lone Star Fall 2012 ADN Applicants

U.S.A. Texas

Published

I applied to Lone Star - ADN program Spring 2012. I was accepted as an alternate. I am hoping to get a call from the nursing department saying there is a spot for me. If not I will be reapplying for the next application period for entrance to the program in the Fall 2012. Good luck everyone!!!!

Lab kit is a little disappointing for $100. Has lots of gauze, an IV bag and line, foley cath, syringes, more gauze, bandages, sodium chloride I a bottle, forceps a pen light a colostomy bag... Few more things but that about sums it up

I was afraid of that. It sounds like what my LVN friend had to buy for her course.

We survived! It wasn't anything brutal. We

*went through our paperwork to make sure we had everything,

*went over info about 1172 and the fall,

*got a mini-tour,

*practiced hand washing

* had a 75 minute lunch,

*went over the online component to the course,

*and then worked on vital signs.

And I think that's it. We have online homework, a quiz every day, an article presentation, and then just basic CNA stuff to learn.

Don't we have to be in a class every day, too? Also, do we really have to do a presentation? Ugh. I would rather die than get up in front of anyone, lol.

Yeah, 9-5. And yes, it's just a 5 minute review of an article we pick. No biggie. But we have a big project/presentation every semester, too. :)

Oh my GOODNESS!!! I am seeing red. After all this financial aid stuff and I log on today to begin my nutrition class and find my summer loans are gone...vanished...disappeared from my account. I called the financial aid number and they had to escalate the request as they aren't sure where they went. I need that $$ to pay for my books, stethoscope, scrubs, etc. I barely scrapped up enough for the fundamental books but need this summer disbursement to pay for everything else. I've stressed myself into a migraine. Sorry had vent, trying to stay calm until I receive a call back with the resolution

I'm so sorry, tl. I feel for you, believe me. Not sure what is going on in the financial aid department, but the speech we got from them at orientation sounds sillier the further away I get from it.

Badge? Where do we get that?

I Got the Student Nurse ID badge from the library at NH. It is supposed to grant you access to clinical locations.

Oh no...that's terrible! :/ I really hope they get it fixed soon and all this "getting started" drama is just a bad memory. So now even when they fix it, you're screwed out of taking nutrition??

KnightGal, we don't need to get badges. We do it as a group in the fall.
