Fall 2019 Lonestar Hopefuls

[Nancyface23]

Hey everybody. I'm not sure if it's too early but I'm making this page for anybody who is applying to the nursing program at Lonestar College for the Fall of 2019. Looks like Montgomery, Cyfair, and North Harris have applications from Jan 7-April 12. Good luck to everyone!

Quantitative titers that need to be administered within the past 3 years:

-MMR

-Varicella

-Hep B (this should already be completed for application purposes)

***Those all need to be positive***

-Hep C titer (does not need to be quantitative, needs to be within the past 3 years and this one needs to be negative)

Then you'll need:

- 1-step TB skin test (results need to be negative)

-TDaP Vaccine (administered within the past 8 years)

**A flu shot (I'd hold off on this because this one was confusing because it said it needed to be after August 1st)

**Physical exam (has to be less than a year old when its turned in, also they give you a form to complete with it so maybe hold off on this one as well)

-CPR certification (I think these stay good for about a year and each year you have to renew)

In addition you'll have to print, fill out, then scan and submit about 7 forms on the website that everything gets turned into. The forms are very quick and easy to fill out and can be done within an hour max. You'll be required to do a background check and social security verification (super simple but these take the most time so once they give out website info id get on top of this task ASAP) but this has to be done through the website as well. Lastly you'll have to be able to provide proof of health insurance. If you don't have any they will tell you to get academic blue insurance for students. It's expensive and they require you to pay in full, no installment plans. So if you don't have insurance then id take a look at that and get prepared. If you need more info let me know!

For the insurance do you pay by semester or annually?

What if you already have insurance? Do you still have to get lonestar insurance?

So, you can choose to pay annually but pay attention to the start dates of the insurance coverage. Theres also options to pay by semester. I'll upload a screenshot. There aren't any monthly payment options though, which is really a bummer!

No, if you have health insurance already then you're all set!

I even tried looking for other insurance but all the open enrollment dates are closed until later in the year

What about the malpractice insurance? Do you have any info on that? That is crazy expensive, especially since most people cant work.? Maybe i'll do my CPR while I'm waiting. That will give me something to do.

I don't have any info on the malpractice insurance. I think that one might be optional because other nursing students I've talked to say they weren't required to have it but that it was recommended. They attend a different school though so it might be different for Lonestar.

Malpractice insurance for school is super cheap. It's normally around $10.00 but I could be wrong.

(I’m not 100% sure) but i believe i read on the website that’s it’s better to wait on cpr because it can not expire while in the program!

I just spoke to NH about moving the date to send acceptance letters, and it’s true. And yes, it’s for EVERY campus. ? this is really unfair to all of us. We are all loosing now 2 months from doing things in our personal lives too. This sitting and waiting and tapping in spot is not doing anything to anyone. I wish they sent us an email or somehow directly notified us about the change. ?
