I am in the program there. I graduate in May.

What semester is your friend going into at CF?

Yes, the professors are pretty tough when it comes to exams. I think a couple of them just want us to be prepared for the NCLEX so they make their own questions and sometimes they can be contraindicative of what we learned from the book. Most of the time they will give us points back if a good amount of us miss one or a good portion of us chose a different answer. I will say if I have the change to go back I would’ve drove to Kingwood. I have a friend at kingwood and she said she’s only lost 4 in her cohort and they were due to absences or life issues. Since January at CF my cohort went from 47 (because 3 people didn’t come to orientation) down to about 17 (I think) and they’re due to failing. I would say you made a good choice driving to Montgomery. I haven’t heard much about Tomball but my suggestion is Montgomery or kingwood

Can those of you who just graduated tell me what the workload is like for the adaptations course online?

Welcome to cf nursing program. Get use to it because everything they do is last minute. We start second semester in a week and they just gave us our schedules a few days ago and we still don’t have our book list for one of the classes. I think they do the schedules last minute to see who passes the final exams and who will move on to the following semester.

The program doesn’t look at your cumulative GPA, they only take the average GPA of A&P and ENGL 1301. So if you got an A in English and a B in A&P you would have a 3.5 as an average GPA. Also, you have to make a 74.5+ to pass in the program so if you make below that in a core class then you would have to retake it.

You also have to take into consideration the damage that Hurricane Harvey did. I spoke to the director about CF and Kingwoods completion rates over the last two years and they said that most was because half lost their cars and homes and dropped the program. This was especially true for people around CF and Kingwood.

You are right, sir. Here ya go. Not sure why I remembered it being a 98. I think because in my head I remember missing one and I calculated the grade in my head comparing it to the 50 question exams I have been taking all semester.

You guys, stop wasting money on HESI study guides. They’re all BS. Just go to quizlet and type in HESI Anatomy and Physiology review. Look for the one with 299 terms (I couldn’t copy and paste the link from my phone). This is all I studied and made a 98 on the A&P portion. They have one for math on quizlet too. I got a 100 on that section. Take advantage of your free resources...especially quizlet.

18 months. You don’t get a summer break. You only get 3 weeks in the spring and 3 weeks in the fall.

I’ve been at CF since January and haven’t been tested yet. They only drug test you right before clinicals. CF doesn’t start clinicals until second semester.

CF average graduating class is 35. I wouldn’t really say it’s “extremely low” compared to other campuses. I feel like it just seems that way because our starting class is so small. However, yes, it is extremely rigorous. I chose CF for a couple of reasons. 1) it was close to me, 2) it is an 18 month program that runs through the summer, and 3) I liked the idea of the “block curriculum.” Block just means that each class covers a specific subject. For example, pediatrics is one class, ob is one class, etc. At all the other campuses it is integrated, meaning they pretty much integrate all the subjects into levels. CF is doable if you are serious about the program and determined to graduate. I have two boys, they’re 5 and 7, in the process of buying a home (which is super stressful) and I have been mainining Bs. Also, I study about 5-6 hours a day sometimes more which is pretty average for nursing school. However, if i could go back I think Kingwood would’ve been worth the hour drive for me. Although I love CF, I would only suggest going here if you have absolutely nothing else going on in your life, if you are trying to graduate earlier, and if you study better in blocks. An advantage of attending the other integrated campuses is that you have the option to transfer between campuses throughout the program. You can’t do that while attending CF because of the difference in curriculum. Hope this helps. But if you have any other questions I’ll be happy to answer:)

Is this score from fall or spring? Because I was talking about my spring cohort. Fall you have a really good chance since there’s so many campuses open.

Well the lowest that I knew of was a 7.4 and only because it was a friend of mine. She was an alternate and got in only a couple days before orientation. Sadly 3 people didn’t show and CF doesn’t accept any alternates after orientation. We started at 50 and after orientation up until now we are at 45.

I am first semester ADN at CF. Hesi was a 95 and score was 7.8. I think the lowest score in my cohort was a 7.4.
