Lone Star College 2022 LVN-RN transition Program

Published

I am applying to the 2022 LVN-RN LSC transition program. I am debating if I should retake the HESI for a higher score or just cross my fingers with my 7.456. I was looking into Tomball as my #1. What is everyone else’s scores? Thanks in advance. 

Does Lonestar only accept sciences less than 5 years?  Blinn will allow you to take patho so I was bummed to hear I'd have to retake A&P for Lonestar.

Yes, they have to be within 5 years unfortunately..

I'm wanting to do the Kingwood program. It'll give me a little time to prepare for the school year since it starts in fall. I think math is going to be my downfall too. It's been years since I've done any type of math class. Did it take long to complete? 

The HESI took me about 2 1/2 hours to take.

@jhil84 yes. I took it in December. It wasn’t bad. Math was my downfall. I only studied for the A&P section. I applied for the transition program for Tomball, NH and Montgomery which the HESI due date was last week. If I don’t get into any of those programs I will retake the HESI and apply for the Kingwood program. Which program are you looking at?

Do you know anyone who has completed the transition program through LSC? I've been reading the reviews, and can't help but feel hesitant. Thoughts?

Hello,

I know everyone on this thread has probably moved forward in their journey. None of you probably check this thread anymore, but I'm hoping someone might check my message and may be able to answer my questions.

I have been accepted to the transition track at lone star north harris 2023. I read on the website, that classes are usually twice a week between 8am and 4pm. I was wondering if someone could share what their schedule was like during the program? Was it Monday and Wednesday? Or Tuesday and Thursday? Was it from 8am to 4pm? Was it like 2 hour classes in between those hours? 

Please can someone help me out. I'd like to be prepared for the type of schedule I will have and make accomodations.

Mondays and Tuesdays 930am to 1150am. If you do evening class it's 5 to 730 I believe. One clinical day Wednesday Thursday Friday or Saturday. You get to pick but may or may not get the day you want. Last semester of program is Summer or fall depending on your choice. If you choose Summer then it's evenings only. All this could change though. Not sure. But this is how it is for us. Also Summer has two clinical days included rather than one.

Okay, that's helpful! Thank you for responding to me! I am in the Summer start program, so does that mean when I start in June I will have 2 clinical days? 12hr days? And Monday Tuesday day classes?

Does anyone know where to get the lippincott textbooks for cheap?

Unfortunately not. When do you begin? I have all the books but you'd still need online access.

I start June 5th at North Harris. I was hoping to purchase the online access and then find something cheaper for the physical textbook, but they are more expensive.
