Welcome to Texas. I moved to Houston from SD in 1981. FYI- I don't miss the snow at all!:)

Rachel, Congrats and get ready for the ride of your life. I'm just finishing the second semester of an ADN program. The biggest and most important thing you can do NOW is start to get your home life organized. Do a major house cleaning and get rid of...

Congrats to all that were accepted into Kingwood. It's a great program. You'll attend the spring semester and have the summer off and start up again in the fall. Also, somebody asked about drug screens at Kingwood. At kingwood, they did the screenin...

Pharm is not a prereq. We had a handful of people take it the first semester while taking nursing classes. I took mine the semester before I was accepted into the program. Did you send your transcripts to Lone star for evaluation from HCC? This is ve...

2 evenings and one all day clinical. I'm not sure that's considered full time. It's 3 different classes. Lecture (2nights), Lab(1 night after the lecture), Clinical (1 day for 10 hours). I work full-time also so if I'm not at work or in class, than ...

Lecture is on Tuesday (5pm-7:00pm) and on Wednesday (5pm-8:00pm) We have one lab a week. Some have lab on Tues (7-9pm) and others had it on Wed (8-10pm). We chose which day we wanted our clinical. The choices were M/Th/FR/or Sat. Good luck and feel f...

If I remember correctly, they opened up the application period July 15 and it lasted 2 months. We recieved acceptance letters in mid-November. It seemed like an eternity. As far as a study guide for the reading, when I took my Hesi , there was a anot...

Correction - the nursing central program is what cost $150.....not the ipaq.

I have an IPAQ pda with a nursing bundle program that was recommended by other nursing students. I bought it on nursingcentral.com. It cost about 150 when I bought it in January. It's great. I don't have to drag my books to clinical with me.

I believe the point cutoff was 11.4 for the Spring 2009. From what I hear, it was a little lower the year before so it's getting a bit more competative each year. My group did our clinicals for the first semester at Health South Rehab. The hospitals...

Yes, they had calculators there. Do what I did in regards to practicing the math and you'll be fine. The reading is what trips people up. I know your probably thinking, I know how to read and whats the big deal. I don't know that you can really stud...

Kyla, I am just finishing my first semester in the ADN program at Kingwood. I was worried about the HESI also due to the fact I'd been out of school for 25+ years. What I did was copy the Hesi. The math and reading. There are several math problems in...

Pink, I understood that our lab quiz is on line - module 1 (I haven't been able to acces it yet, it's locked or somethin)and our next lecture test is the week of 2/8 and it'll be over assessment and pschyosocial or whatever is indicated on the calend...

Hi Pink, OMG, I can't believe all the homework. I have my first clinical on Saturday at Health South. I'm a little nervous though but I'm sure that's normal. And your right, we're all busy but need to drop a line in here every once in awhile.

Everything I own is second hand except for the recliner that our kids and myself bought my husband for X-mas. With that said, I'd buy a new sofa (replacing the futon) and a matching love seat. Also would by a bedroom set to replace the set we picked ...

Hi Tee. I'll be there tomorrow also , rain or shine. Are you taking a lunch with you? There's 3 books correct? Fundamentals and the workbook and also an on-line book. How many people do you think will be in the class. I figure not all 60 will have...

I thought the clinical orientation was all day on Jan 15. In fact I thought they said that it was the first or second Thursday of each semester? Maybe i'm wrong but I thought they said it was all day (8-5) on the 15th. I've asked for the day off fro...

Thank you very much for your words and congratulation to you also for your acceptance. Good luck and maybe some day our paths will cross.

I used it during the summer when I was taking 3 classes. It's like a little traveling desk. I love it. I don't have a laptop so there was plenty of room for all the books and notebooks etc. During pharm I just had the one class so I used a smaller ba...

Tee, I ordered this from Target earlier in the year and it's the perfect size. It's not too big or too small. Targus Rolling Notebook Bag - Black (TBR003US) $34.99

Thier probably the same books I bought. I had gotten a pharm made rediculously easy book (never looked at it. It was too confusing) and also purchased a test success book. I finished pharm with an 88.

Hi Tea, I'm scheduled Monday for my fingerprints. I found a good rolling bag on Target.com. It was about $35. It was called 'Targas or vargas' ...something like that. I still have to get my TB, tetanus, and physical done. Those are quick so I just ne...

1172 is the same as yours Tea. Yes, my clinical is on Saturday. So one day we only have class for an hour and 50 minutes? I was thinking both days during the week that it was 5-9:50. Shorter the better I guess.

I'm registered now. 1523 Lecture Tues 5-6:50 Lab Wed 5-7:50 1119 Lab Wed 8-9:50 1361 Clinical 6:30-5pm Were you all able to go to check out to pay? Mine keeps giving an error

Yes, my Hep B was turned in when I applied. No physical yet but that shouldn't matter should it? When did you notice that you were registered?
