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...(?)
Does anyone know if you need a SSN to go to nursing school?
I am not certain but I would think so because you have to pass a background check and FBI fingerprinting. Its harder to qualify to get into nursing than it is to buy a gun. lol. Do you not have one or just don't know what it is? I am not sure how they do it in whatever state you were born in but both Texas and Colorado automatically issue you an SSI and you just have to file to get it in the mail.

I don’t have one because I’m on a visa. But I have an ITIN number.

I believe you do. You have to get certified and you can not work without one ?
Some ITIN recipients have the right to obtain a SS for work purposes but if not, I think an ITIN is only used for legal tax purposes. Case by case thing i believe.
