Lone Star ADN as backup to BSN

Published

I am currently taking my pre req's towards BSN, and I am doing well. I have all A's with the exception of A&P and College Algebra. Intro to Chem and Statistics is all I have left after this summer. I am somewhat confident that I have a good chance of getting accepted to my desired BSN program. However, just incase the applicant pool is totally amazing and blows me out of the water, what are your thoughts on applying to Lone Star Montgomery's ADN program as backup? What would my chances be to land a job after graduation? (In the woodlands/tomball/cypress areas) I would most definitely enroll in an RN-BSN program as soon as I could (UT early acceptance would be my pick). I just don't want to be stuck without a job after school since I know some hospitals in the area are only hiring BSN's. Thanks in advance!

I know this is an old post but hope this still helps. Most of the hospitals that require BSN are the ones in the Medical Center. During your clinicals you will have the opportunity to impress potential employers and might even secure a job before graduating. (most students do, just look up the school's previous class stats). Also saw you post about the HESI in another form, well you seem to have the right tools I would just try not to stress/over study and use "crash courses" on youtube for in-depth understanding of A&P. Best of Luck.

It is an old post, but I am just now applying to tge program. Life blessed us with another beautiful babay girl, so things were on hold for a bit! I would love a shot at Methodist Willowbrooks new grad program after passing nclex, and they do require BSN. Im just ready to start, so if it takes me going rn-bsn route and having to gain experience before getting into the hospital i prefer, im ok with it! The hesi... i am kind of stressing... who wouldnt right?! The Montgomery Lone Star campus is doing a 1 time hesi review for a&p, i will be there! My main stressors are math, and grammer... i can write a dang good paper, and grammer used to be my favorite subject, but somewhere along my journey i have managed to forget what things are... except a noun lol! Hopefully the tools i am using will help refresh my memory in time!

Thanks for your time, and tips!!!
