I'm currently in my last semester at Alvin for my LVN-RN. It's honestly the best decision I've ever made. You get 4 try's for dosage. They truly care about their students & want us to succeed. They even round at the end of the semester San Jac would never do that LOL & the program is only 3 semesters. That alone sold me. All the other programs have 4 semesters.

Alvin sent out acceptance letters. I didn’t get in but I am #1 on the alternate list ??

That’s awesome. Congratulations on getting accepted!!

It seems like the transition programs aren’t as popular as the ADN & VN programs. I guess that’s good & bad because not many seats are available. I agree, having a great professor that wants to see their students succeed is a blessing. San jac was an overall okay program my last semester was the toughest they started implementing a lot of ATI assignments into the curriculum. We had 22 exams in a 8 week semester. Thankfully I made it through. Im hoping we both get accepted 2022 is our year ??

Oh wow I’ve noticed almost every transition program only accepts 7-15 students ? that’s a lot of pressure. I’ll be going to Alvins meeting on the 22nd. Did they say what the average HESI score was for the last cohort? Every time I tell someone I’m applying to COM’s nursing program they always say don’t do it. Honestly, I believe everyone has their own experience nursing programs aren’t easy no matter where you go.

Hey, I’m applying to both as well. Your stats are great. Kinda nervous about COM. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about that school. I got my LVN from San Jac. I would apply but I haven’t taken English II yet ? Good luck ? GPA: 3.6 HESI: 87(Overall) Reading: 90

I applied to 5 LVN(Hcc, lonestar, San Jac, college of mainland, & Alvin) programs got accepted into all of them. My advice apply to every school that you possibly can. HESI; 90 A & B in anatomy 1 and 2. I don’t remember exactly what my GPA was. Just keep trying and don’t give up.

Everyone of us has taken a dosage course. They give it in level 1(MedAdmin) Unfortunately, a dosage exam is still required before every clinical. They have to know we are competent enough to pass medications!

The main cause for people failing was the dosage(Math) exams you take one before every clinical.

My cohort started with 44 by the end of graduation we were down to ONLY 10 that alone let’s you know how hard it is. Level 3 was the most difficult for me due to the scheduling but it’s attainable.

Good luck you all! I graduated last month from south campus ?? I wish every one of you the absolute best. I know exactly what its like.

What is your confusion? You receive titers to determine if you have immunity or not and if you don’t you’ll need the vaccinations.

I understand not wanting to GET the vaccine but not wanting to GIVE the vaccine is a total different ball game. It’s absurd. Many of us have gotten vaccines when we were infants polio/varicella/MMR. Vaccines aren’t anything new. What’s also sad is that covid has been used for political gain which has been a huge factor in vaccine hesitancy. Leave your personal beliefs at home.

It came to my personal email. They gave us until February 8th to respond I guess once everyone either accepts or declines their spot they’ll send more out

Jan. 31st Sunday @ 10 am. I hope for the best. Good luck to everyone!
