I'm starting my prerequisites this semester to be able to apply for the LVN program at San Jac South campus.
Has anyone done this already?
I've been out of school for about a year and a half, but I've decided that I need to go back and pursue my degree in Nursing.
I chose to go the LVN route, so that I can begin work after getting licensed as well as gain the experience to go back and enter the mobility/transition program to move up to RN.
My questions are:
- Since I've been out for so long, will it be extremely difficult to get accepted into the program? This semester I'm taking my 2 courses (3 hours each) that are required for application. But that's about as far as I've gotten... I'm more than willing to do the work, I just need to know if what I'm trying to do is impossible
- How difficult is it to pass the HESI exam to get accepted into the program?
- What other testing will the require me to do? I heard something about Accuplacer and Compass? I don't think I even know what those are... Usually my TAKS and SAT scores get me out of most of those things.
- Any other advice for a hopeful like me? Anything a nervous newlywed gunning for a career in nursing can get... is helpful.
So I was wondering if you took regular ap1 and 2 or if you took the ap for allied health? If so did you dissect anything in the ap for allied health???? Just curious. Thanks! :)
