Lonestar nursing program hours

Published

Hi! I am in the process of applying to the LVN and RN nursing programs at Lonestar...(Cy-fair, North Harris, Kingwood) if anyone has been recently accepted or just know by any chance on average what are the hours and days for class? I am trying to set up babysitting arrangements due to me having a small baby and single parent. I know these days and hours may change throughout programs but if anyone knows roughly it would be a great help.

I am in my third semester at Cyfair. When we had our orientation the director assigned us am or pm classes we had no choice but could switch if you could find someone willing but only on that day. Most want am so it is very hard or should I say almost impossible to switch. The schedule changes from semeser to semester and some that started in the am are now in pm and the other way around. Clinicals start at 6:30 am and are until 3:30. If you are late to clinicals you will be sent home and given an 8 page care plan to do. If you miss more than one clinical you will be dropped for the semester.

These are the rules for Cyfair I dont know about the other schools but I have heard our school tougher than the other campuses. On the upside our campus has had 100% pass rate on NCLEX the last few years. So if you manage to make it thru you pretty much can count on becoming a RN at the end.

I guess to get to the point you are going to need flexible childcare that can watch your child from very early am to late pm. If you can have full time child care that will be the best situation because the work load is intense.

Hope this helps.

The program is 5 semesters you will go to school one summer and are off one summer. There is a point system that they use to score applicants. You can find it on the nursing website. I believe that the cutoff for our class was 11.65 out of a possible 12 points.

Thanks soooo much! Sorry I am late in replying. I will be applying to North Harris this month, with Montgomery and Cyfair as my 2nd and 3rd choices. I take The Hesi this month also and am a little worried about the A&P part and what to expect. Thanks again and Good Luck in your Nursing Career!!!!! : )

I am in my second semester at Lonestar N.Harris - we were instructed to plan to be in class from 8a - 5p. Last semester and this semester we have Lecture on Mon Tues and exams on Fri... But I must say that this can change. Your child care needs to be flexible because there are other labs, presentations etc that might be scheduled outside of the norm. The first two or three weeks of each semester you will have a different schedule everyday... And it might change with just 24 hours notice... It is very very hectic... So try hard to set up reliable child care... It will help ease some of the stress.

How do you get to pick the 3rd choice? On the application online, there are only 2 choice for me to pick.
