Lone Star Fall 2019 LVN

Anyone out there applying to Lone Star LVN program? Any advice from past or present students?

I just applied today with a score of 7.47 and would love to chat with other hopefuls. ?

I applied! That's a great score, did you also apply to the RN program?

Hi! Yes I applied for the RN program. I made a B in English, which brought my score down. I’m retaking English now just in case if I want to reapply for the RN program that starts in spring. What was your score for the LVN?

Hello I also applied with a 7.2 I hope that’s high enough to get in . Does anyone know when we should here form the schools on about acceptance

[ven14]

Im hoping the first week of June we will know something, but it took theRN progrom a month to find out. So im hoping we can get our acceptance sooner then that. I think you will have a good chance on getting accepted since it's two schools.

I applied to the ADN for the fall start l, but I didn't make it :( LVN I was going to use for a back up. I had a much better score when I applied ( 7.55)

I got an alternate spot for Kingwood today. I had a score of 7.408. Anyone know what the likelihood of getting an actual spot will be? Since we have to spend money on all the tests, I would hate to lose all that money I spend for them if I don’t get a spot.

I think you have a very high chance of getting in. So I think it’s worth spending the money. Congratulations!

Congratulations!! I too got an alternate email on Monday. I'm waiting until orientation on the 27th before I go have any labs done :)

Hello all and congratulations on those who got in. I’m currently an LVN in Dallas and have been looking for a program for awhile that I can work around my daytime work schedule. I read that the program at Kingwood was partial online and skills/clinical weekly with an instructor, however, everything I’ve read on here as far as the schedule seems to indicate that that information is wrong or is a different program than y’all are talking about. Is there anyone who can elaborate on this?

I have never heard of online classes with just skills/clinicals weekly. You would have to call the school nursing department and ask.

Is everyone ready for the Orientation on the 27th? I am so ready to get this started. I have my fingerprinting appointment tomorrow (Friday) for the background check, and then that will be the last of the CastleBranch items. I hope they contact us alternates for spots next week.
