Lone Star Fall 2020

Published

It may be early but around this time, those applying to Fall 2020 are engulfed in an A&P course trying for the grades needed. Collaboration and early encouragement can only help. Fall seems to be the large cycle and a lot have had the same instructors. Some of us could even be sitting by each other in class and not know.

I know we cannot say who we are taking. I'm in A&P 1 at Tomball in a hybrid course. If I can be of any help I will do so. I have a study guide for A&P that's about 90 pages. In addition, I have a pdf of one of the books (I think it's Marieb).

Goodxluck in class everyone and hope to see you in nursing school in the Fall!

Totally agree. It’s amazing that almost none of us feel confident this time around. I have a 7.79 and know I will get in somewhere, but have zero confidence that I will get my first choice ? the stress is so real.... we should have a virtual happy hour after we find out ?

WOW!! You have such a wonderful score! You will definitely get in your first choice!

Btw I still haven't submit my application? There is something wrong with my account, and the adviser I have been communicating with can never open the documents I uploaded. So frustrating?

That’s how I put my schools in order as well. When I got my rejection letter last year the email said there was 600 applicants with only 260 seats. Truthfully, I don’t think we will be going to Montgomery. The highest they took last year was around a 7.65 and It’s just going up from there.. Montgomery has 40 seats which is why it’s so competitive. Tomball has a little more than that and NH has 120 seats. I’m thinking we will find out in late June/early July but who the heck knows. I’m praying you get in somewhere too! Good luck to you.

Update to my post: I read your score as a 7.44, I didn’t see that 7 in there. You definitely have a good shot at Montgomery!

I’m very (very) new to the nursing world so I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but what score are you referring to when you say you have a 7.7 score??

It's not a dumb question. Here's a sample score sheet, it shows how your grade for the prerequisite classes (Engl 1301 and A & P) and your HESI test scores add to a possible total of 8.

I know, this is very stressful! I definitely have a preference in what campus I would like to be at but I'm ready to move forward with my journey to becoming a nurse so I'll be excited to just get accepted. Happy hour after we find out is a good idea. ?

I'm hoping and praying that I do but I will be excited to get into any of them because I've been working up to this for so long and I'm ready to move forward on my journey to become a nurse. Good luck on your path!

We're almost to the finish line guys. How many of you are freaking out right now? I'm so nervous this application cycle! I definitely did not anticipate any of this happening. I'm just hoping that my score is high enough to make it in this round.

Did you contact IT & the director of nursing?

You know surprisingly I’m actually really chill about it? I think it will hit once the application closes but I know this is all in God’s hands.

Yes please contact the director of your first choice. I think the nursing director is the only one who can alter/fix applications.

Yes my anxiety is at a high... I've been waiting since it opened.... I agree it’s in gods hands ??

Yes same here. I believe we applied around the same time. We’ve been waiting for so long that it hasn’t hit that we’re almost there!

Almost but then there’s the waiting game ?
