Lone Star College Nursing Program

[TarynRichard]

Hello!

I am currently enrolled at Angelina College. I am starting to feel a little discouraged about being accepted into a nursing program once I apply. I am not an A student. I know Lone Star requires you to take English 1301, Psychology 1301, and Anatomy and Physiology I in order to be able to apply. I have taken all three. I made a B in English and a C in the Psych and A&P. Not my finest...

I know with just completing those courses, there would be no way I would ever get accepted! However, I have taken other courses and plan to take more before applying. I have already taken Speech 1318 (made an A), Arts 1301 (made an A), Life Span (made an A), and I am currently enrolled in A&P II. I plan to register for Microbiology and Sociology in the summer. I am already CPR certified and I have already begun studying for the Hesi Test.

With that being said, should I be hopeful about getting accepted into a nursing program? I am not confident in retaking any course so that is no option for me. So, other than that, is there any other advice you can offer that may boost my chances?

Hello TarynRichards. Welcome to allnurses.com, the biggest and busiest social network for nurses on the Web. If our members can't advise you, no one can. We've got a lot of very good resources amongst our membership. I can't answer specifically to your exact issue, but it sounds to me like you've really done a lot to make yourself attractive to the admissions panel. I was in somewhat of a similar situation when I applied to nursing school back in the very early 1990s and had roadblocks thrown up in front of me every time, so I really never thought I'd get in, never mind be advising others 20+ years later. If it's meant to be, you've done a TON to make sure it is. Best wishes!
