Lone Star Tomball, LVN 2012 Hopefuls

Published

Anyone out there applying to Lone Star Tomball LVN program? Any advice from past or present students?

I will be applying in late August/1st week of September and would love to chat with other hopefuls. :)

The program at Tomball meets either 8-12 or 12:30-4:30 M-Th for a total of 8 meetings either beginning July 23 or August 6. It is not all day during the summer semester. During the fall semester the schedule is hard to explain, but you can search the schedule in mylonestar, it is already posted under the class search.

On my acceptamce letter for North Harris it says to be available M-F 8-5 for the first three weeks of the program. THen we will follow our regular class schedule after that. I was wondering if Tomball had this same requirement since it did not mention anything about this in the letter I received from them.

I think the only way to be sure of the schedule is to attend the orientation at Tomball. When I submitted my letter of intent to Tomball I asked about the schedule because I am wanting to also enroll in a core class during that time. I was not told I couldn't enroll in either an afternoon or morning class, but that I would receive my schedule at orientation for either morning or afternoon.

How hard is it for an ADN graduate of Lonestar to find a job? I have been looking at job postings and most prefer or want BSNs and 1-2 yrs acute care experience. Just wondering if anyone is worried about finding work after graduation. If it's hard for BSN's to get a job then ADN's don't stand a chance. I really want to be an RN and have tried getting into three different BSN programs without any luck. Now that I have been accepted into Lonestar's ADN program all I think about is spending two years working hard in school and not getting a job.
