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 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
You need to retake the hesi. A score below 75 will prevent you from getting accepted. See below the requirements. I took that from the website.
Required HESI Scores: A. In order to apply for any LSC A.D.N. program, the student must attain a minimum score of 75 (750 for Critical Thinking) on EACH section of the HESI exam.
that means you need a minimum of 75 on each section of the hesi plus a minimum 750 on critical thinking
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
I saw on the online study group a girl went to the nursing info and they told her to retake it because she had a 67 even though her average English score was 84.

I had a great overall score 82 for reading though it was only that sub section

You should be fine. It’s 75 overall on the English portion
Thank you I hope so! I’ll have to go see an advisor to be sure . I have another question, do we need to get all of our shots before starting the program or during? I recently did my titer for hep B and I was positive but I haven’t started the other shots yet

It is not 75 overall for English. It is 75 for grammar, 75 for vocabulary, 75 for math, 75 for AP and 75 for reading. Do yourself a favor and visit an information session and make sure that you speak with the nursing advisor not the regular advisor. Also visit the website and read the information that is there.

What is a subsection? lol
And you have to have immunity to Hep B in order to apply for the program. Once you get accepted, they give you a deadline to get the rest of the results.

Like how the reading is divided into 3 sections ,
The implication section was 69 but the other two was 80 each so it averaged to be 82 overall for reading

I did visit the website and read the information but English is my second language so it was a little difficult for me to understand and thank you for ur advice

Based on what you responded to @canickell11 you do not need to retake the hesi. Because your score for reading is good.
you let it seem as if you got a 69 for a subject area.
