This post is for the cy-fair students-

Here's the homework we got in the fall (it's probably going to be the same for spring tho) :

RNSG 1209 (Intro to Nursing) -

Read Chitty book, chapters 1-3, 5-7 and 14-16

also download and read Texas Board of Nursing (Nurse Practice Act)

RNSG 1115 (Health Assessment) -

Read Weber and Kelley Book, chapters 1-6 and 9-12

Read Taylor et al., Chapter- Nurse as a communicator

RNSG 1105 (Nursing Skills I) -

Read Taylor, chapters 21, 26, 27 (all except sterile technique) and 33

Read Lynn chapter 4 (4-1, 4-2, 4-7)

Self study and Review Pickar chapter 1 (fractions and decimals)

Class schedule we had:

Monday- 9-11:30 or 12:30-3 (Health Assessment 8/27-12/16)

Tuesday- 9-11:30 or 12:30-3 (Nursing Skills I 8/27-10/21 & Nursing Skills II 10/22-12/16)

Wednesday- 9-11:30 or 12:30-3 (Nursing Skills I 8/27-10/21 & Nursing Skills II 10/22-12/16)

Friday - 8-12 or 12-4 (Intro to Nursing 8/27-10/21)

Online- Legal and Ethical Issues for Nurses (10/22-12/16)

Also about the book cds.... I'm almost done with my first semester finals and I have not used the cds once this semester. I have however used the online access codes that come with the book (the little scratch off code that's written on the inside cover) but it's not mandatory, I just used it for practice questions just in case.

If you have any other questions about cy-fair's first semester let me know, hope some of this helps :)

As a previous poster mentioned, at a glance, when you log into my lonestar it appears as if I am not registered. It even says "not currently registered" under "upcoming semester"; however, when i click on "my schedule and textbook info" and then select spring 2013 semester then my class info shows up. Also, if I login to Angel I can see my classes there for next semester. I hope that helps.

I am confused too about what we need for next week. I am doing the evening class - it's in HSB 108, but I don't have any info on a book. I didn't see one on the list or on the bookstore's website. Maybe I need to go in person.

I just sent an email to see what we need to bring for next. Hopefully I will hear something back. I didn't see a book on the list for that class, but I just want to make sure.

Did anyone know that U of H Victoria has an RN-BSN program through LoneStar's Univeristy Center? I'm really interested in doing this when I get my RN from Kingwood!

I did not know they had an RN-BSN program. Is there a link you could post sapadgett?

Also, I have not been registered as far as I can see. I've checked: Schedule textbooks & syllabus (including the green highlighted schedule and textbooks link), class schedule / fee statement, and account balance. All links say that I am not registered for the 2103 spring term and don't owe any money.

hlc123 - please let me know if you hear back. I will be calling thursday if I don't have a schedule by that time.

Yeah UH Victoria is a good school, I'm excited they're starting to do it through Lonestar :) I think it's one day a week face to face and lasts about a year. Another great option that many RNs like are the 100% online degrees. Some of the best I think in Texas are UT Arlington and Texas Tech. Both are pretty affordable compared to most rn-bsn programs and it's easy to work while being in school because you do the program at your own pace. I'm thinking about doing Tx Tech's online rn-bsn degree after I graduate bc it's affordable and it's possible to complete your degree in just two semesters!! side note: I think tx techs program and lonestars program are around $7,000

Also, they returned my email about what we'll need next week (Kingwood). We need the Taylor Nursing Skills book and a stethoscope. That book is part of the book kit.

What I'm confused about is WHAT exactly to have to have done in order to apply for their BSN program. I have only taken the classes for LSC's ADN so I know there are a lot more I need to take. I just don't know if all the core classes (2 histories, governments, etc.) have to be taken before you apply for admission or if you take those after you've been accepted into their program??

Does that make sense? Lol

I need to just make an appt. to go speak with an advisor so maybe I can figure out if and what classes I need to take next summer on break for NS!

I have a question for Quest students (we should really make our own page because I'm getting confused around here! Ha). When you went to get your books and told them you were a Quest nursing program student, did you compare all the books to the list when you got home? My box of books has a maternity newborn and women's health nursing book by Ricci, not by Orshan like it says on our paper list we got on orientation day. I'mwondering and worried that maybe the bookstore gave me the basic track programs' books and not Quest (if they're even different?!?!) All the other books match up. I wanted to check with y'all first because I'm not getting any response via email or phone call from lonestar. Sigh.

ness27,

I am in the Basic Track and my book kit included the same Maternity book by Ricci and my list showed one by Orshan. I saw that yesterday too! I bet they probably just changed books though.
