2018 Lone Star ADN Hopefuls - Spring

U.S.A. Texas

Published

Hey there!

I wanted to start this page for anyone who is applying for the Spring 2018 Lone Star ADN or LVN program! I've seen previous posts, from previous years, and everyone was really helpful and encouraging to one another.

I am taking A&P 1 over the summer (starts 7/13) and then I will be submitting my application!! Im so nervous. I already took the HESI and got a score on 90.8%, which gives me and 3.6 on the point scale. I have an A in Eng 1301 and hope to get an A in A&P this summer.

In the fall I am taking A&P2 along with Micro (ugh). So if anyone else is in the same boat, let me know!!!

Anyway, I look forward to hearing from everyone 2MzmrmldDUluFszY4BeNRUhFw8YnK8nLzkBNSYABAA==

Just retook the Hesi and scored lower than I did the last time I took the exam. Now, I can't even apply for this application cycle. I'm devastated because I've retaken classes and attempted this entrance exam five times just to keep getting set back. I've been trying to get into nursing school for two years now. I give up; I can't keep doing this to myself! I'm convinced that God does not want me to be a nurse no matter how bad I want to be one.

That's not true, I took it 6 times before i was satisfied with my score

No, no, no! Baby girl you've come wayyyyy entirely too far, I've been reading your posts. When you battle becomes unbearable is when you need to fight the hardest. This just means you're closer to your breakthrough. Keep pushing. Wait until next year, apply at North Harris. Or better yet, the deadline for San Jac North has been extended to the 22nd. You can use your last 2 Hesi tests to apply and the A&P portion of the hesi isn't factored into the score. Don't put all your eggs into one basket. You can do this.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words! This has been a long journey and I would hate to give up on it. I'm just emotionally, mentally, and physically drained from trying to pursue my dreams. Someone else just that I try San Jac as well. I will give it a try; fingers crossed that I get in!

Yes! And I just now said a prayer for you! I've asked God to show you another way. You've got this.

-Gather all of your college transcripts (including HS)

-A&P 1&2 (there are no pre-reqs but these will give you extra points)

-Nurition (if you've taken it will give you extra points)

-2 Hesi tests (they take the higher of each section from both exams)

-Make sure your general shots are up to date & that you have them all (titers as well)

Don't give up! We're all in this together just trying to get in and achieve our goals. If all fails, maybe look into EMS school then bridge over to Nursing! Keep trying and God will help you! :)

Let me know how everything goes love. Be sure you check the San Jacinto North Website to make sure nothing is missing before you go just to be on the safe side. You'll be able to speak with an advisor as well while you're there. They only accept paper applications so print it out from the site. Did you make at least at 70 on all sections (excluding A&P)? Do you have a CPR card?

Ok because I think they require that as well so make a copy of it. As long as you made at least a 70 on the reading, math, vocabulary, and grammar you're good.

Thank you so much for encouraging me! I'm going to give this nursing thing one more try before I completely throw in the towel. Your score is awesome; you should have no problem getting in!
