lonestar nursing 2014 hopeful

[dreksterrr]

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

When anyone from CyFair gets their schedule will yall post it?

CyFair schedules will probably be a tad behind; don't hold you breath waiting.

You apply what you've learned in Nursing Skills labs. Clinical rotations are when you get hands on with live human beings, not simulation mannequins on campus. You will shadow nurses on the floor, learn to get report, learn the ins and outs of documentation, lab values, vital signs, etc.

Breaks? You're kidding right?

So 6:30am till 5pm non stop than it is

I will be buying the books not the ebooks. I ordered my pen light, blood pressure thing, forceps and bandage scissors, but on back order. Still have to get the scrubs, jacket, and shoes. Thank God I already purchased and received my stethoscope. And goodness that's a lot of money. I pray everything goes smooth for you.

Where did you purchase the stethoscope and stuff...You got it all at one place. That would be awesome I would like to know where so I can do the same please.

Thank you so much nurseprince...I hope nursing school will not be so bad for the both of us.

Hi jenn is your pharmacology class online ?

[nurseprince2b]

I wish we had the same schedule. That sucks. I got it at allheart.com and they do price match. I think I will be ordering my scrubs from there too. Not sure where to get this navy blue lab jacket though.

Hi jenn is your pharmacology class online ?

Yes, it is...That is the thing I guess I got mixed up on something....I thought pharmacology would be for the first 5 Wednesdays but I not it looks like that is something else...I tell you what I never had more than 7 credit hours per semester. My schedule looks intimidating right now...lol....it's all good though.

[jennjenn0205]

I was planning on going to "Scrubs Etc." for the jacket and scrubs....They offer 20% off there too...Here I go again with the 20% off...Geeez lol

After some research I found this in a previous post. It definitely gives us an idea what to expect.

Dec 11, '12 by Alexandria8263 This post is for the cy-fair students-

Here's the homework we got in the fall (it's probably going to be the same for spring tho) :

RNSG 1209 (Intro to Nursing) -

Read Chitty book, chapters 1-3, 5-7 and 14-16

also download and read Texas Board of Nursing (Nurse Practice Act)

RNSG 1115 (Health Assessment) -

Read Weber and Kelley Book, chapters 1-6 and 9-12

Read Taylor et al., Chapter- Nurse as a communicator

RNSG 1105 (Nursing Skills I) -

Read Taylor, chapters 21, 26, 27 (all except sterile technique) and 33

Read Lynn chapter 4 (4-1, 4-2, 4-7)

Self study and Review Pickar chapter 1 (fractions and decimals)

Class schedule we had:

Monday- 9-11:30 or 12:30-3 (Health Assessment 8/27-12/16)

Tuesday- 9-11:30 or 12:30-3 (Nursing Skills I 8/27-10/21 & Nursing Skills II 10/22-12/16)

Online- Legal and Ethical Issues for Nurses (10/22-12/16)

Also about the book cds.... I'm almost done with my first semester finals and I have not used the cds once this semester. I have however used the online access codes that come with the book (the little scratch off code that's written on the inside cover) but it's not mandatory, I just used it for practice questions just in case.

[jennjenn0205]

I know right now I can have my last few weeks of sanity before school starts and to top it off it's Christmas....I can not think of a more better time to have this happening and such a wonderful Christmas gift too.
