Lonestar Fall 2013 hopefuls

Published

Hi everyone!

I just submitted my application for the Fall 2013 Lonestar College basic track ADN program. LSC-Montgomery is my first choice, followed by LSC-North Harris, and LSC-Tomball.

I applied with an 11.81. Has anyone else out there applied, or are you preparing to apply?

Looking forward to starting a supportive and informative Lonestar thread, as applicants have the past few years

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I thought 2 hrs a night seemed on the low side, but then I looked at my schedule and it seems very reasonable. I guess I was under the impression that nursing school would involve hours and hours of lecture most days of the week. Thanks for all the tips because I am just trying to get all my ducks in a row and come up with a good survival plan to get me through. I will get a big calendar I have read some of the recommended book (test taking success for nursing students- I think it's called) and it suggest to keep a calendar and check it so that you aren't wasting time worrying about what you have to do and if you have forgotten a deadline. Thanks for the info about the math, I did not know about that, though it makes sense. :)

No, you will have lecture one day, lecture and lab another, and then, of course, your clinical day. You will also have a group project each semester, along with 4 sim labs during the year. Also, PowerPoints are the rule of the day, so make sure you stock up on ink and paper! ;)

Did you have to wear bathing suits for bed baths skill practice? Or did you use dummies/mannequin?

At NH they front load all the labs, so for the first 3 weeks you go from 8-4 or 8-5, or something like that. Then, after that they told us that we won't always have lab on what would be our scheduled lab days. I think I am just going to stay after class to do homework and study work instead of going home and getting sidetracked.:bookworm:

Huh. That's very interesting. I guess every campus does things their own way. Not that that surprises me! ;)

NH students where did you all get your BP cuff from? Did you go on campus? I have a stethoscope already, but I need the cuff.

You can wear regular scrubs or clinical scrubs, just don't appear in street clothes! ;)

I wore a tank top and shorts. You will be with 1 partner and you can close the curtain around the bed so no one can see you. It's not as bad as it sounds! I don't think anyone wore a swimsuit ;)
