LoneStar CyFair College Fall 2009

OpheliasWings · May 10, 2009

As far as the A & P classes go I saw on the website that they'll take the higher grade from either A&P I or II. So you may want to talk to an advisor. I know that I'm debating on whether to test out of my Math 0308 class in order to get both A&P classes in so that I have the 4 points for the average of the pre req courses. I was thinking about taking it during the summer, but the short class ends during the application period and I didn't know if it would count towards that application period or not, anyone know?

Thanks,

Sonseria

I was in a similar situation with the points and barely made the cut for the pre-reqs when I applied. My speech course would not be complete until the day of the last day for application, and my PE courses did not transfer. They said the only way the points count are if the grades have already been submitted officially by your professor. It has to be reported before you bring a print out of your score card, otherwise your points will not be equal to the amount you really have. In other words, you have to have all classes on your transcript with the grade on it already before you submit your application. When I submitted mine I was shy 2 courses (speech and PE) even though my speech class was already completed-my teacher had not yet released my final grade. As far as the A & P course, yes they take the best of the 2 grades. It the course ends during application period, but before the application is actually due explain it to your teacher and they might submit your grade faster for you...but if it's a transfer credit from outside the lonestar college system, it can take up to 2 weeks for the counsiler to enter it in. (some of my transfer credits took 3 weeks). You can also go to the office and talk to a person in there and explain your situation, and ask their advice.

Hi there, thanks so much for the advice about the classes. It's tough trying to sqeeze them all in there in such a short amount of time. I got my math grade and it ended up staying an A so that was great. I am still waiting for my english professor to release my grade, so I'm hoping that I will keep my A average in that class as well once he factors in the final grade. So..so far I'm doing great with my averages, but still have a lot of classes to get done before the deadlines. I sent an email into the school regarding the classes and the application period so I'm hoping that they'll get back to me fairly quickly. Thanks again for the advice.

Take Care,

Hi There,

I am also planning on attending Kingwoods Evening ADN program for Spring 2010. Can you brief me on the hours of classes of and clinicals? I work Mon-Fri. 9AM to 6PM, and wondering If I will need to make some adjustments. Look forward to hearing from you! thanks.

Lecture is on Tuesday (5pm-7:00pm) and on Wednesday (5pm-8:00pm)

We have one lab a week. Some have lab on Tues (7-9pm) and others had it on Wed (8-10pm).

We chose which day we wanted our clinical. The choices were M/Th/FR/or Sat.

Good luck and feel free to ask me any questions.

DMHG1812 · Jun 21, 2009

Thanks for the info. rjsalimi! I will keep you posted on my admission status!

This is full time correct? As I don't believe ADN programs are taught on a part time basis..

rjsalimi · Jun 21, 2009

2 evenings and one all day clinical. I'm not sure that's considered full time. It's 3 different classes. Lecture (2nights), Lab(1 night after the lecture), Clinical (1 day for 10 hours). I work full-time also so if I'm not at work or in class, than I'm studying. They own us for the whole 4 semesters that's for sure but they told us that from the get go. They weren't kidding, it's true.

Hi all,

Thanks for all the info on Lonestar :) I did all my pre-req's with HCC but am starting to get the feeling HCC disorganized and am still waiting for them to offer HESI in the summer in order to take Pharm!

So I will be out of district for cy-fair, does that count against you when you apply for the program? I know alvin cc puts in district students ahead of out of district for the nursing program.

Also - I know we have to take the HESI test, but do we also have to take the Nurse Entrance test?? I read somewhere on the website that it is a requirement, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong as I really don't want to have to take the NET as well!

Is Pharm a pre-req?? Say for example I took Pharm at Cy-fair in the fall, could I still put in an application for the Spring start date??

Thanks :)

Pharm is not a prereq. We had a handful of people take it the first semester while taking nursing classes. I took mine the semester before I was accepted into the program. Did you send your transcripts to Lone star for evaluation from HCC? This is very important! LOnestar goes strictly by points as far as who's accepted. About half of my classes were taken many years ago out of state. Unless they've changed something in the past year, all that is requiered at Lonestar is the Hesi (math & reading only). Hope this helps

hello everyone! i hope your summer is going well. i'm just here to post what i know because i sent some questions to ms. monteiro, who works in the office for the adn department at cyfair. here's what she had to say...

"yes, the department continues to register you throughout the whole program. if you have morning classes right now, you will continue to have morning classes. if you are currently registered for afternoon class, you will continue the program with afternoon classes."

i asked about the summer classes because previously the summer courses were lumped together in one semester, the spring semester. to sum it up, we will have to go at least 1 summer semester. below is what was taken word-for-word from my email about that question.

"as for the curriculum, summer courses are indeed in the summer. as for your question about spring semester 1st year, those courses are full semester courses not just 8wks. previously, rnsg 1341 (med surg i) and rnsg 1343 (med surg ii) had been done in the same semester but has since been changed to 16 weeks for each course, to aid in student success in the program."

I have been looking on the cy fair my records section to check for my registration. I have not yet been registered and getting concerned. Does anyone know if the majority has been registered? Am I looking in the wrong area for the schedule? If someone already received their schedule can you tell me where on the website I should be looking.

Thanks Luckymama

LuckyMama21,

I am registered and I know CreoleFromTheBoot is registered. I had the same problem with not being registered as of the weekend. I noticed a block on registration was placed on my account because CyFair had not received my transcripts for the Spring semester at HCC. I emailed Ms. Monteiro about it and she assured me that I still had my spot and the morning classes I wanted. To my knowledge everyone should be registered now. You should email Ms. Monteiro...I'll PM you her email address. As soon as my block was lifted my classes were there. If you do have a block on your account don't let the registration office tell you it will take a few weeks or a couple of days. Tell them the department has been trying to register you since last Thursday and it needs to be removed immediately.

Keep Ms. Monteiro in the loop though. She needs to know who is registered and not registered. CreoleFromTheBoot was registered on Thursday. I'm not sure about anyone else. My block was lifted on Monday and the classes appeared right away.

If you are registered you can find your classes under "My Records" and click on "My Shopping Cart". Your courses should appear in there.

By the way, are you supposed to be registered for the morning classes or afternoon classes? CreoleFromTheBoot and I are in the morning. I would love to get to know other students! To those who were at orientation, yes, we went on stage.
