Hello @CynthiaJ26! All my classes are technically done, however, I'm retaking some to get better grades (CHEM 1405 and BIOL 2401). Dallas County Adult Immunizations office is a good place to go to if your doctor or your job doesn't do them. There's a form you fill out stating you don't have insurance and you pay like $10 for each vaccination; they'll make a record of them for you. I got some of mine from there and then some of mine are done annually from my job (like my TB shot-which reminds me, I have one due for May starting tomorrow lol).
Since you're applying Fall 2020, you have some time to finish these classes. I've crammed classes into one semester before (I took 5 classes in one spring semester, which was nuts! I was looking for a challenge so that's why I did it but never again). I would say look at what you can handle. Can you only handle one class at a time or do you think you can add a class or two to your load? Your core classes you don't have to be complete before the nursing program (except those specifically stated in the forms for BHC and MVC) but keep in mind-You need at least 20 points to be considered and from the last group for Fall 2019, for those who got in, that range started at 21 or 22 points (or something close to that). The advisor is pushing you to finish those classes as much as possible so you don't have to struggle with these classes while you're in the program or on the back end after you finish your ADN. However, you know what works best for you so work it from there. Sorry this is soooooo long but I just wanted to put out the best information for you. ?

Nooooo, it's not long at all, I love this information!!!! I appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.

For 10 dollars, that's not bad. I am definitely going to check them out. Was Chem. 1405 really that hard? I am taking it this fall along with Patho and I am so nervous. Wow, 5 classes in 1 semester doesn't sound fun. :D. But hey you did what you had to do, I might have to do the same. Usually, I take 2 classes a semester, along with some flex. I may be able to add in another if it's not so demanding.

For the points, I noticed that the hesi gives you the most. I am taking it this Friday actually as a practice one ( I am not too confident at the moment). Then after Septembers application period I am going to take it again. Hopefully, it does not count as me taking it twice an application period, since I am taking one before September then another one after.

I was also reading what you guys put regarding the dual program at TT. I am going to look into that too. Honestly, thank you soooo much for freely sharing. :D

You're welcome and yes, I passed 4 out of 5 classes so I guess I didn't do too bad lol. I'm in Chem 1405 now and let me tell you-it is not easy. But that's because I don't like chemistry and the way my professor has the class set up, there's something due like every 3 to 4 days so there's not much leeway to miss assignments. Other chemistry classes probably aren't set up that way so don't worry. I am enrolled in TT's program and I'll take the first class this summer (if finances allow I'll take both classes this summer, if not, i'll take one in the summer, the other in the fall). Best place to get help with the HESI is this FB group----> Online HESI A2 Study Group. EVERYTHING AND I DO MEAN EVERYTHING you need to know to pass the HESI is there!!! Go look at it and study the files as much as you can then take your HESI. You will do well. I studied the files and on this last go around I got a 92.4.

That’s is awesome you’ll definitely get in with a 92.4. ? im going to retake mines. I’m in a Facebook group for the Hesi. Are the questions similar to the ones on the test and how much did your a your score improve from the last time you took it. I’m starting to study not little by little so I can thanks it in August or September. This nursing still is so stressful

This is great! I'm glad I will get points for taking these Texas Tech classes. But that also means range of points it takes to get in may go up as well because that's an extra 6 points for those make A's in both classes on top of the other classes that's listed there so this will be interesting...

@queeno and @Jaye Seals If you know what version (there's only 2) you'll be taking then you can take a mental note and remember which questions you took, look at the files from the group, retake it again then pass it. That's how I did it. I took it in mid January and scored an 86 overall but I needed an 80 on my math in order to apply to el centro so i had to retake it again. The other parts of the test I didn't have issues with because those are my strongest subjects-it was the math i needed help with. I looked at the files, refreshed myself on how to calculate math measurements and conversions etc (youtube was great for this!)...and I came back two weeks later and passed with a 92.4 overall (up from a 70 to an 86 on the math). So you can do it!

Okay I posted photos of where you should look. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll see if I can take files from there and send them to you.
