Hello to all! I wanted to start this thread specifically for those who were planning on applying to the various Lone Star College transition programs starting in 2019. I have seen and posted in the thread for the traditional ADN applicants, but I think the LVN-RN warrants it's own thread.
So, my plans are to apply to both North Harris and Kingwood campuses. I wanted to apply to Montgomery as well, but won't be able to attend there due to their 5-day a week, heavily loaded Summer semester. Just won't work with my work schedule.
Also, I think it's worth mentioning that I have sort of a unique perspective as I was previously enrolled in Kingwood's transition program in 2016, but was forced to leave after the first semester due to an unexpected family emergency. So feel free to ask any questions!
I took the HESI on August 30th and my application score will be 7.71. When I was accepted to Kingwood's program, my app score was 7.74, for any who are wondering.
@walka123 I have heard from June 5-July 25 it is full time Monday-Friday
This is accurate. It's a condensed Summer session. It's M-F, 8-4, but it's only for 6 weeks. Then you get the rest of the summer session off before resuming in the fall. That's the only reason I didn't go there.
Do you guys know what the summer session looks like a north harris and when it starts and how long it last?
"Transition schedule for summer Monday clinical 630-430 Wednesday and Thursday Lecture 900-1230."
That is copy/pasted from a current student. Subject to change, of course. Clinical days are usually going to be flexible and you can choose from different days of the week, including a Saturday clinical.
Do you know if it goes for 6 weeks like Montgomery?
It does not. Because it is only 3 days a week, it runs the entire Summer. Montgomery is 5 days a week because the semester is shorter. You get the same amount of class and clinical hours between the two, it's mandated by the BoN, it's just done differently.
Same goes for kingwood. Kingwood's summer session is at the end of the program rather than the beginning and is 4 days a week rather than 3 or 5.
