  1. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    Clinical orientation is always the first Thursday of every semester usually from 8-2 or so. Plan on taking that day off if you work. They should print the date in the class schedule so everyone can...

  2. still planning 3 months in texas

    Mody replied to cryptic12's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would stay away from the valley. Are these your only choices? I'm sure they are all nice cities to live in, but if you are only getting a 3 month taste of Texas go for Houston, Dallas, Austin or...

    Mody posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    First of all to anyone being layed off I'm sorry, that sucks! UTMB is such an important facility in the Houston area and a huge employer. However the main point of my post is that I'm wondering what...

  4. New grad programs in Houston and Dallas?

    Mody replied to greygooseuria's topic in Texas Nursing

    Most of the new grad intern programs start in June and January in Houston. Dallas may be different. They like to do new grad hires in groups because many hospitals have a structured training...

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

  7. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    No fingerprinting. The background check can be done online and they should e-mail a copy of the report to Kingwood. If they send it to you make sure you save a copy and forward one to the nursing...

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mody replied to texancanadian's topic in Texas Nursing

  11. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    Mody replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    Most of the ADN schools in the Houston area base the GPA on only a handful of courses like A&P I and II, English, and psych. so it is possible to have a 4.0 GPA in those courses. It is of course...

  12. Being an alternate for any of the Lonestar Colleges..

    Mody replied to EricaSAFJAF's topic in Texas Nursing

    The people that were accepted have to turn in their intent to enroll form by a specific date, and pass a background check. If they don't return the form or don't pass the background check that is...

  13. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    Scrubs are for clinicals at the clinical sites and for on-campus simulated clinicals. I don't lug all my books with me because I do better to listen in class than to try to follow along in a book....

  14. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is an actual name for the teal but I forget, something like ocean mist??? Any of the uniform stores in the area should know the required color because they are used to students coming in and...

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey guys, congrats to those who have gotten in or are an alternate. There are usually a few students who get accepted to other programs and decide not to attend Lonestar so some spots should open up...

  16. Are you forced to practice IV's and injections on each other in nursing school?

    Mody replied to kroegerk's topic in General Nursing

    In paramedic school (in Texas) we did SQ, IM, and IV on each other. 2 sticks a week max. I am soooo glad that my first stick wasn't on a pt.! Now that I am in nursing school other nursing students...

  17. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    Everyone that is in nursing school or is currently a nurse has been where you are, so you are not bothering me at all. I remember checking the mail everyday looking for my letter! I hated that there...

  18. Lone Star College- **~~Kingwood and Cyfair Spring 2009**~~

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as CPR check the CE catalogue for listings if you want to take it on campus, but you may be better off finding a fire department or hospital offering CPR for Healthcare Providers because they...

    I go evenings at Kingwood. The lectures this semester are in a small classroom, in the spring we will move to a teaching theater as the transition and regular track students combine. In lecture you...

    Mody replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    My acceptance letter for Kingwood was 2-3 pages in a regular size envelope. It had the cover letter and information about orientation. Good

  21. State Fair of Texas

    Mody replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was reading about the deep fried snow balls (those pink cupcake like things). Made me sick just reading about it. However, I can't picture going to a state fair and having a salad. Its the "when...

  24. Lonestar Cy-Fair or other LSC colleges- what pre-reqs?

    Mody replied to lilag02's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have found that Lonestar college advisors (both financial and academic) are only right about 50% of the time. The other half they give out random bits of mis-information. Obviously their training...

  25. trying to get into one of lonestar colleges

    Mody replied to missgoo's topic in Texas Nursing

    It is too late for september 08, but you can apply in January for september 09. An 11 is fairly borderline, some semesters the cut off is around 11.2 or so, so if you have a semester to kill I would...
