LoneStar CyFair College Fall 2009

U.S.A. Texas

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to start a new thread for all of us who will be starting the CyFair program this Fall 2009. Congratulations to all of you!

:yeah:

To those who are on the wait list, don't give up! From what I've read in the previous threads Lonestar does try to get you into their programs! Good luck to everyone!

Hello again! Sorry it took so long responding...our summer semester was a beast!!!

Congratulations to those that are starting next week. I know it may seem so overwhelming and stressful but just relax, breathe and soak up everything you hear! The first semester was the easiest but the most stressful because of the practicums. You will have to perform different skills in front of an instructor and will be marked off as pass or fail. For us, we had three chances then you were out. Im not sure if they changed that. FYI, we didn't lose anybody in our class due to failing practicums. It probably took them three tries but they passed when it counted. :) Be very careful with Legal and Ethical. It's an online course so it's easy to become lackadaisical. If you are late on the assignments you risk getting dropped from the program. We lost only one classmate from this class but there were a few on the verge of failing so stay focused!

Yes, you'll be wearing black scrubs for your clinicals. Its kinda bitter-sweet because black is slimming but it fades so quickly so make sure to purchase two pair at a time.

Pharm will be a hybrid course starting the fall semester. If you're starting in the fall, you will take pharm during spring semester with MS1, if you starting in the spring, you will take pharm during the fall semester with MS2.

Plz take heed to this bit of advice... Do NOT complain to your instructors about trivial matters!! There are some things that are not going to change like the schedule, the dates/times of exams, what hospital you are assigned to, etc... If you do, then your legitimate concerns will not be heard.

Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask...
