lonestar nursing 2014 hopeful

Published

Hi, just wanted to start a post about my process of applying at lonestar. Hope to hear from other applicants! I have just taken my HESI and will be applying for the spring semester with a score of 11.54

Can I get some clarification on the comments about FA and Loans, please. I did the FAFSA online and they have all my info, what is the next step? Do I need to go to the school and do anything else for loans? Not sure what to do to be ready if they finally accept me. I'm an alternate and got a book list too. I dont know if I should wait or not to buy any books because I dont have a definite "yes you are accepted".

If every alternate didn't get a book list check with va. Maybe you have a spot now! I'm going to call the financial aid office and see if I can get some clarification.

I sent VA an email to check about the books. I will probably do the same and call the school FA office.

Do you mind letting me know what she says? I believe all schools use the same books. May I ask what your score was on your application?

I will post what she tells me if she does respond. It seems to take a while, I figure there are a bunch of us asking questions everyday. I cant remember exactly, but it was I think over 10.5, I think. Not very high. I chose not to retake classes I took in the 90's and I was afraid to redo my A&P stuff, I made B's in all my sciences and I was very happy to have made them. If I had ignored my kids and family I might have made A's, but I decided not to forsake my family so I was happy with a B. Ill post if I hear anything.

Does anyone know when we will see which classes we are registered for? The financial aid office said my loan amount that I will receive will not appear on my account until I am registered for at least 6 credit hours. Just want to make sure my loans will be ready for Spring!

I am so glad I found this thread! I am getting so excited/nervous waiting on our schedules...and THE BLUE CARD...has anyone received theirs yet???...I feel like it's taking forever. I did the FAST fingerprinting 2days after she sent it to our emails.

Also, we should set up a facebook group.

I know that not every school uses the same books. When I was an alternate for the woodlands their book list was different from ours at Kingwood.

Okay well that's good to know. I don't plan on buying anything but the stethoscope until I hear something.

I talk to FA this morning and since I am done with the FAFSA and it is already in the system, she told me to go to Studentloans.gov and I could do that and whenever I am finally accepted I can finish up the loan process. If you need the school ID she said it was 011145. This is for student loan information and I can not tell you about grants, apparently I dont qualify.

Hi Krystalis! I received my blue card I want to say the week before last. You may want to call the Bon and ask them about your card.
