Lonestar nursing admission steps

[Annehle]

Hello! as i am still figuring out things on my own here, I still have a lot of questions. I have done most of my associate basics such as STAT, Psychology, intro to chem, etc. Do I keep taking the rest of the basics even after I get into the nursing program? I know they only require API and ENGL 1 before applying so 1. what happens to the rest of the classes. do I continue finishing my basics and get the associates of science? Sorry I know this is a stupid question I really have no one to ask.

2. All I need to take in API this summer and my HESI. Then I plan on applying for the basic track program for spring 2019. Does a B in English matter? should I retake it this summer as well?

3. Do they look at volunteer hours? as of right now I don't have any that is credential.

Hi there!

Just concentrate on completing the prerequisites that you need for the institution of your choice. No need to go beyond that. If you end up going for a BSN at a later time, you might find that you are missing a class or two. They should be easy to get through. Grades of "A" or "B" are good for nursing school...beware of "C" grades (many institutions do not like them). Lower grades will definitely need to be re-taken.

The most important thing for you is to get admitted into nursing school, graduate, and get your license. The rest is "frosting on the cake".
