If you think about it though it's harder to get in for Spring semester because theres less spots open and same amount of applicants. We have a better chance for the fall. NH accepts 120 CF accepts 50 and then Montgomery,KW and Tomball accept about 40 each. So if you're not accepted right away you'll at least get on the waiting list. And some of those accepted are waiting to hear back from a BSN program.

Yeah that’s true. Fall is the best option as far as acceptance.. just makes me nervous as that total is about 250 and there’s 400 applicants that’s what gets me. ? Fingers crosses we all get in! ??

I am first semester ADN at CF. Hesi was a 95 and score was 7.8. I think the lowest score in my cohort was a 7.4.

Hey I had a question about your first semester at CF! I'm interested in going to CF since it's close to me but the completion rate is extremely low compared to other campuses. Would you say it's that rigorous?

Has anyone taken microbiology? If so is it manageable to take it as hybrid or would you recommend a regular in person class?

Definitely a regular in-person class, preferably with only one other class at the same time, maximum. Microbiology is on par with A&P I & II, in my opinion (and my classmates last semester). It is a wonderful, fast-paced class that is full of information that will help prepare you for nursing school and tie together so many things you have already learned, but definitely deserves and demands your full attention and absorption.

I was blessed to have one of the best Lone Star professors for micro. at the North Harris campus, Carol Crowder. She was an absolute delight and made the class as smooth as possible, but it was no walk in the park. At the beginning of the semester, I was working part-time as a writing consultant in the Center for reading and writing on the North Harris campus, but within 8 weeks- that became completely unmanageable and I had to resign my position or risk not performing to the standards I set for myself. I was able to finish out the class with an A, but that was due to near constant studying. I was only taking one class concurrently with micro, and it stretched me thin and gave me a good idea of the rigor up ahead in the nursing program. If you're anything like me, you will want to take a full, in-person class. Good luck, everyone!

Has anyone gotten an email if they messed something up on their application and was told to fix it? My biggest fear is I messed something up and not being told ?

Hey all! This anticipation is killing me! Lol

I have a question,

are we supposed to be signing up for financial aid now or later? I’m freaking out because I feel like I should be working on that.

Thanks everyone!

I was told to send a most recent transcript and resubmit. I think you’re okay!

I’ve contacted my first choose to see if they will look over my documents and was told if anything was missing or incorrect they will notify me before the deadline but i haven’t received anything so I’m taking that as a good sign!
