College of the Mainland ADN FALL 2019 program

Published

Hi, I’m applying for the fall at com and wanted to start a post for the upcoming applicants who are also applying. I been following all the other posts from semesters before which makes me pretty nervous about my chances of getting in. Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone remember exactly where the patches are supposed to be put? I thought I wrote it down at the orientation. THOUGHT ?

Right side and 2 1/2 inch down from the shoulder seam

So I’m having trouble with where exactly to have the patch sewn on at... I measured 2 1/2 inches down from the shoulder seam but that’s like SUPER high up. I measured a pair of my friends that already graduated and hers was like more than 6 inches down

Hello everyone, I got accepted into the ADN program for Spring 2020. I wanted to know what you all think about the program so far and the pro's and cons you may have about it. I was also curious to know if any of you were commuting back and forth for school and if so how far. lol

Thanks in advance everyone!

I’m in the program and the teaching is good, you learn a bunch from them but one thing I will say is starting with the Fall 2019 they changed the curriculum and so they’re kind of adjusting certain things as we go so there’s a lot of uncertainty but I feel like they’ll address all the kinks. And by new curriculum I mean they put like 3 classes into one and called it foundations (clinical, practice and pharmacology). I live in Alvin and I drive to COM and it’s like a 25-30 min drive but it’s not too bad. But we just started clinicals and they’re a lot of fun, definitely thought they were gonna be intimidating but the nurses are very helpful, you just have to want to learn and be there.

Mainland Hospital (I’m there), Clear lake regional, UTMB. Mainland is pretty good way better than what I thought. Tuesday’s or Saturday’s. 6:30am-2:30pm or 3:00pm-11:00pm (Saturday’s only)

Wow so those are the only days you go to clinicals? Tuesday and Saturday?

Well for us it is, each semester they ask hospitals if we can do clinical and they take what the hospitals give us. So it might be different schedules.

Hii! My hesi overall score was a 90 and my pre req gpa was a 3.67 and I believe the majority of everyone else for our group was around the same. I’d definitely recommend making As in the 3 sciences or atleast 2 As and a B. The good news is I’ve been told Fall semester generally has less applicants! Good luck to y'all both! ?
