Lonestar 2011 ADN Hopefuls

Published

I didn't see a thread on here for Fall 2011 applicants to the Lonestar nursing program, so I decided to start one.:) I will be applying to Montgomery as my first choice and am really nervous about taking the HESI test with all of the added components. I applied to Kingwood this past application period with an 11.5652 and got an alternate spot, competition was fierce. So, here I go again, hopefully I'll get in this time around. I'm really nervous about the A&P portion of the HESI. I feel like I've forgotten alot of what I learned. Any suggestions from anyone?

Good luck to all applying:)

Internet Buddies I need help understanding something, the class RNSG 1172 has to be taken before our actually classes for the nursing program starts and what kind of class is it I tried looking it up and I couldnt find it... Im still learning how to use Lone Star class search....If someone could please tell where I need to go to read about the class or if someone could explain it to me... Thanks

As far as I understand it from talking with the advisor about it, it is a CNA (Certified Nurses Aide) class but I think this particular class is just for us, as new Nursing admits. If you already have a CNA you are exempt form it. She said they would tell us all about it at orientation, so don't worry.:o

Still no letter over here in Conroe!! I hope that someone decides to go to another orientation besides the one on June 8th because by the time I finally get some kind of confirmation that one will probably be full :( On another note, Tri-County Services (Formerly MHMR) now offers their CPR, First Aid, and verbal/physical deescalation programs to the general public. They have two types of CPR so although I am certified through them for my work (I am a contractor at a day program for adults with disabilities) I have to take the one for the Healthcare Professioinals :( It's 2 hours for $25, and they usually have classes twice a month. I am taking it on May 6 from 2:30-4:30 (Friday) if anyone wants to join that's in the Conroe area! Now come on letter!! And thanks for all of the encouragement...I am really surprised every day that I go to the mailbox and it's not there. I got a letter from Austin today that was postmarked the 28th, and I heard the NH letters are postmarked the 25th so that's even more stressful aighhh! :confused:

Is this the MHMR on 336N? I am interested. If not I'll just pay to take it at the Conroe college. Also, you have to make sure it is ok with the AHA or I don't think it will suffice.

I could not find info at the MHMR one but I did find the course given at MCHD http://www.mchd-tx.org/public_education/public_education.cfm It's only $45! I will contact both places tomorrow to make sure they are AHA approved!

Well I thought I would just take it at Lonestar NH or Montg, but I just looked it up and it's $86. Geez, the $ amounts for the program are adding up fast starting with the acceptance letter and $45 for the fingerprint scan. I'll have to go back and read the thread from last year because someone posted the total amount they paid for their 1st semester :twocents:
