Lone Star Spring 2020 ADN

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

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 won’t be working even though I wish I was because I miss making my own money.

If you don’t have to work then don’t buy if it’s a necessity then by all means work.

Ive just always had a job and Ive never really been one to rely other people to pay for me so it just makes me nervous to not work. my job already told me I can work part time just saturday and sundays but not too sure if its manageable in the nursing program.

What is the difference between CF and Kingwood? Im confused on that lol

Kingwood is an integrated program which means that the concepts are built on each other from simple to complex

For a class you will be learning the concepts throughout the lifespan hence why it’s called integrated. You will utilize fundamentals text, peds text, etc for each class hence integrated that’s how a student explained it to me

hope that sort of helped

Once you get your schedule then you will make the best decision possible. I think it’s possible and if I had to work I would work.

I plan to continue to work full time while doing the program if I get in. I’ll see how it goes.

You can also buy the textbook used (I did that for under $8 on amazon) or rent it. I have reading ebooks

I emailed her today and haven’t often a reply but I already ordered the $400 one and it’s ready for pick up so hopefully I can use a cheaper one and just return that one and save me some money!
