Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

Published

Today is the deadline and as of 12:00PM there are no apps being accepted, so they say :chuckle

Okay for all of us that are waiting, this is our official I'm waiting :no:, checking the mail daily :imbar, going crazy :banghead:, biting my nails :D, at the edge of my seat :coollook:, can hardly concentrate on anything else :typing, Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009 awaiting thread:yeah:We still have a while to go before letters are going to be sent out but let's keep each other encouraged and cross our fingers for everyone that applies! :up:

So who's with me? What are your points and where did you apply- Kingwood or Cyfair? :bow:

Good luck future nurses :nurse:

update for future nurses that applied to cy-fair (too bad i didn't)

from cy-fair's website--

[color=#339966]***adn news - january 2009 class***

[color=#339966]letters of acceptance/non-acceptance for the spring 2009 admission will be mailed out no later than october 31, 2008. good luck!!!

:yeah::yeah:

[color=#339966]*** and the anticipation grows,i hope kingwood updates their website also!***

eeek! my question is, even thought this was only posted on cy-fair's website, doesn't it apply to kingwood as well? perhaps they just haven't updated their site just yet. the reason i say this is because i was told that the applicants are pooled together throughtout the colleges..

like for instance, i applied to cyfair as first choice, then kingwood...but if everybody at cyfair had higher scores than myself, yet i placed in kingwood then i would get in..so i would assume letters from both the colleges will be sent out no later than the 31st? right lol?

i dunno, the suspense is killing me! i've gotten my hopes up so high, that i will be crushed if i don't get in lol..but i'm just going to hope for the best! also, on cy-fairs website is just says letters will be sent out by at least the 31st, and it's addressed to the adn class of 2009 so that would be cyfair and kingwood i think lol

Update for Kingwood applyers-

I talked to the secretary from Kingwood and she said that their letters are not going out until next week or the week after. Here I thought I only had one week left to do this... :jester:anyhoo, back to the regular scheduled program. :typingStill crossing my fingers for all of us! :yeah:

i just thought of another question as i sit here dying of anticipation lol...cyfair was my first choice, then kingwood...say my score is not high enough for cy-fair so they place me as an alternate, when perhaps i could've gotten straight into kingwood...would they do that, or would i just get accepted into kingwood then? i really hope so lol

from what i've been reading, im scared of cy-fairs nursing program and kinda want to get into kingwoods ha!

anyways, thanks everyone for their information!!!

I'm holding out hope that Kingwood will send letters early and we'll all be pleasantly surprised. I just don't like being in limbo, it's frustating.

I've put all my eggs in one basket and just applied at kingwood for strictly the evening program. Still gotta keep the day job don't cha know. Are any of you in the same 'basket ' as I am? Are most of us older or younger? This will be a career change for me , what about everyone else? Do any of you have families (spouses,kids)? How do they feel about all this. From what it sounds like, we'll be studying so much that our families may feel abondoned. I guess organization may be the key. Ok, I'm done talking. Gotta go check the mail.:icon_roll

I just checked my mail knowing that it was too early in the day:chuckle I am not older but I am older than most that start straight out of high school, I'm 27 with four kids and a hubby. I too put all my eggs in one basket also for Kingwood's evening program so that I can try to keep my full time job... I got too many bills to pay to just stop working completely. My hubby has been very supportive and my kids know that this is for them, their ages are 10, 8, 4 and 7 months. Organization will be key, it's already key :chuckle

Hopefully we'll meet when we get accepted! What part of town are you in. I live off of 290/Jones Road. I'm 48 which will probably make me one of the oldest people in their class. Dementia hasn't set in yet so I should be ok. I have 3 kids and a hubby. 20/20/22. The twins are just starting college and the 22 just finished at Sam. I don't think they have a problem with me taking classes but I can tell that my husband is feeling abondoned. He'll just have to adapt. What kind of work do you do now? I work at LabCorp.

I live in Missouri City, wayyy across time I'm at MD Anderson now as an Administrative Assistant. I used to work for the Memorial Hermann System as a PCA III/Unit Secretary/Phlebotomist/Monitor Technician. The money was better at MD Anderson so I left patient care for five years now. I miss it though. I know my hubby is going to feel overwhelmed but I'm hoping we can hold it together as a family to get me through the program if I'm accepted.

here's a little about me since were all trying to get to know each other...

I'm probably going to be one of the baby's in the class... i am nineteen years old. The commute will not be bad for me at all..I live in Kingwood..about 5 minutes from the college. I also put all my eggs in one basket hoping to get into Kingwood ;). I am hoping after I complete Kingwood's nursing program to go on and get my BSN. I have no kids or husband. However, I do have a great boyfriend who I have been with for over a year that will probably feel abandoned as well. But it's worth it to get to where we all want to be...FUTURE nurses.
