Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

nsummer, BSN · Apr 12, 2013

I used the code from the NH nursing department 2013 admits on the lonestar website. At the fingerprinting place it showed up for nursing and going to the BON.

nsummer- Thank you! I looked over the forms you are talking about for North Harris, and now I have a better understanding about it. I got accepted to Cyfair and we haven't received that information yet, so that's why I was so confused. Thank you for clearing that up. I will just wait to get the email with further instructions and the code I need to get the fingerprinting done. :)

Hi, I am going to merge with you because I am doing the transition program starting in June. But I wanted to ask have you guys took the dosage calculation exam yet or do you take that in your second year? And I assume if you haven't took it yet then we will be taking it when we join. And also how many students did your class start off with and how many are there now? Just wondering since they take 30 transition students, that seems like that is enough students by itself.

We take a dosage calculation test every semester, so you'll have two more to take. In the fall the test will be at the very beginning of the semester.
We started with 40 students, lost two, gained 2 from Kingwood, and then lost one. Odds are we'll pick up another transfer student and be back to 40 when you start. 70 of us is definitely going to be a lot after having such a small number of us. But it'll be good to have new dynamics and enthusiasm, because we're all tired lol.

I was wondering if anyone knows when they will sign up our classes for Cyfair. Do we have to wait until orientation in July?

itsinthabag · Apr 14, 2013

I am not sure I understand, so what you are saying that we have two more dosage calculation test? In the Lvn program there was only one and you had to score 90%. So do both test count, cause I know after 3 tries you were out. Does the same rule apply are is it different? And I appreciate your responses.

Thanks

I am pretty sure we have to wait until all of our documents and such are in, which are due July 5. So i imagine we have to wait until after orientation.

Yep, you get three tries to pass both tests or you're out. 90% minimum.

Can't wait! It's going to go by so fast!
I'm exhausted and in the middle of end-of-semester hell, so I'm really just excited for summer lol.

for those of you that have taken pharmacology at north harris before, do we absolutely need a textbook for the class?

I NEED ADVICE WHILE I WAIT ON A RETURN PHONE CALL! I called the BON because I wanted to verify the address they were going to send my blue card to since on my receipt from L1 had the wrong address on it. The BON said they had no record of me! They said I should contact my school and asked t be added to the list. What is going on? The 2013 admit page says they already submitted our names to the BON, so why am I not in the system? They also said they wouldn't be able to receive my fingerprints without being added. How could I be overlooked like that? I already called the school, but I had to leave a message.
