Lonestar 2014 Fall Hopefuls!

[SparklesMedic]

Ok I know it's very early starting this but I am so excited I couldn't help it! Application period doesn't even start until January! My journey has been a long one and I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel so I am sharing a little of that experience here and I would love to hear from others as well.

I just received my clearance letter from the BON so I am clear to apply in January for North Harris and Montgomery ADN programs, unfortunately I missed Kingwood. At this point I have an 11.1 and I'm about to retake the HESI so we shall see what is in store for me. I'm done with all my pre-reqs for my BSN and I'm so ready to start the next phase of my education and get on with more taking care of people! It's been 25 years since I decided I wanted to be a nurse. Twenty years of raising my kids, taking care of soldiers' families and single soldiers and eight years of riding in an ambulance later, I'm ready to follow my dream! Watch me go!

You will be fine. They will send your blue card once you are cleared. You will let the school make a copy of it.

I hope they don't take long

I hope they don't take long

2-3 weeks is how long it took for me to receive mine.

I was also told the same thing. To wait 15 days and then complete the rest of the requirements. Im still waiting for my court documents to arrive, they are giving me a hard time with this.

[Amberly27]

I'm sorry they are taking so long let's hope for a speedy all clear from the BON once it is all said and done!

[ayala3]

Thanks Amberly! Did you submit your DO?

[Amberly27]

Yes I sent my on Monday and haven't heard anything. Did she tell you where to check for our name to be in the system?

[ayala3]

Thats good. And no she didnt. How do I do that?

[ayala3]

Also, did you fax your application or mailed it?

[Amberly27]

I just keep going to the BON site and checking the verification for licensing. I faxed mine over, I really hope they received it. I am going to try to call again on Monday to see.

[ayala3]

Oh ok. Can you explain what that is about our name being in the system? I feel so lost in this process. And I didnt know we can fax our application, thats even great.I hope you get a response as well. I will also try and call the BON for some questions.
