Lone Star Spring 2020 ADN

[TwinDaddy]

From reading everyone that got into Lone Star nursing programs I hypothesized one very important point. Correct me if I'm wrong but if you get anything less than A's in English and A&P there is NO chance of admission.

The only instance I calculated a chance is a "B" in English, an "A" in A&P and a perfect 100% on the HESI. Other than that, A's in your classes with a minimum 88% on the exam is my observed formula for entrance.

I see why so many (myself included) get so worked up about the HESI. Anyone else taking the test next week at a Lone Star?

If anyone has taken A&P at a Lone Star over a summer session, how did you find attaining an A over the six-week period? Also, if anyone wants to part with a lab book...(?)

I went to the Cy Fair information session and the woman running it strongly warned against taking it before the program. So I’m not going to.

Oh I you can and I would recommend taking it before the program started. At Cy Fair, trust me, you DO NOT want to have to take extra classes. The nursing classes are more than enough. If you chose to take pharm in the program take it your first semester.

I was enrolled in it but the nursing department of kingwood . They advised us to take it before .

I already completed all of my sciences and general courses . The only one that I would need to take while in the nursing program would pharm.

I would take pharm before the program. It's not terribly hard but there's a lot of content to learn and it takes a good amount of time.

All of them are in person right?

I took a hybrid where you only had to show up in person for the test review and tests.

Will you send the professor info that you took? TIA @kvg74

Well, if I’m accepted I will try to sign up for a pharm class for fall but if not then I won’t take it. Since HBU will be plan B and do not accept college pharm. For me, it depends if I get accepted. If accepted you can do this class in summer for what I have read. I emailed Valerie and said letters will be sent 2-4 was after deadline.

I attempted to enroll this morning but was told that all sections at Kingwood are full and was placed on a waiting list. I hope that a spot becomes available soon. I am not sure how the waiting list thing goes.

That's not the right pharmacology. You need RNSG1300.

I received an email from the nursing department and was registered in one of online courses. Now I'm just trying to get the book that is required, the bookstore has it for almost $400 but hoping I can find it cheaper. I would like to start studying now so I'll have something to keep my mind occupied while I am waiting to hear if I was accepted.
