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...(?)

Mine is low. 7.266 with a B in English.. English was a transfer from UH over 12 years ago.. I didn't do my research when I sign up for nursing school.. I could have retaken English over the summer to get an A. When I find out class has already started 1 week in. I was surprised to even gotten a letter considering my score. I just sign up for class this pass spring of 2019. Haven't been back in school for over 8 years.

Did you apply for both schools or just one? You can always retake the class to bump your score higher.

Hello everyone. I just came across this page. I was accepted into the KW program. A few of us are in a fb group. If you were accepted and would like to join... this is the link.

Also, an FYI. My friends git a call as alternates and got a spot offered. Their point was 7.44. Both of them. So it gives an idea for future applicants.

I was wondering if one of my sub score for English is 69 but my overall reading score is 82 and the rest of the subjects are 75+, my overall hesi score is 89...will I be able to accepted in the fall program? I read on the website it say minimum of 75 on each category .. I have a 4.0 also.. so after calculating the score it should be 7.552. But I’m just worried about that English sub section.. I don’t know if I should retake the hesi again

If you have a 75 in each category your score of 7.552 should get you in. I had a 7.505 and go into CF ADN for spring
