My son is almost 5 months. I've taken a few years off of school already but he's the biggest motivation in my life right now to return to school and get accepted into a nursing program. I know it won't happen over night and it won't be easy, but in the end It will be well worth it. :)

Oh wow..that's nuts. I really wish they would have the pre-reqs at other campuses, and not just the one downtown. Eh. Well, fall registration is already open..I'm still going to the info session next week, hopefully I can get the ball rolling on it soon

I'm debating on whether I should just take the allied health AP or go ahead and do 1&2.. I already have Intro the AP from Cy-fair with a B.. I don't think that'd count, though. Please keep me updated on your application process! I'm going to be attending an information session later this month so hopefully they'll give me all the information I need. I'd like to start the vnsg classes this fall if possible so I can apply into the next fall start.

Hello all. :) I was wondering if there were any people on the forums that have attended or are going to be attending the vocational nursing program at Houston Community College? There isn't much information online about the program..All I really know is you need the vsng nutrition & anatomy class, take the pre-entrance exam, but what else do I need to do? Would it be better to just take ap 1 & 2 instead of the vocational class for the program (would it look better on the application?) Anyone know how many applicants they accept each fall & spring semester? Also - what math do you need? Thanks!

Could someone in this thread give me a little more information on the application process for the lvn program at HCC? I'd like to attend it in the spring or fall of '11.. I have math 0308, intro ap (made a b - was taken at cy-fair) & nutrition at cy-fair, but i heard that doesn't transfer? I don't even know where to begin. >. Does anyone know how many applicants they get? How many are accepted? If anyone could give me the route they took to get into the program that'd be great. Feel free to reply here or message me!!

You're allowed to take both ap1&2 at the same time at HCC? Just curious because I'm thinking of applying for the LVN program sometime next year..

Well, I don't think I'm going to be attending the program anymore. 12k is just waaaay too much to pay and they want 5k upfront, and that's just absurd. Plus, they don't qualify yet for any government financial aid, so all of it would have to be paid in cash, which i just can't do! Back to lonestar I go to work on my gpa (gonna have to retake a few classes) and hopefully apply next spring into the lvn or rn program. Wish me luck!

I'm going to bump this thread cause I'm curious as to what everyone who is admitted to the fall 2010 program had on their score that got them in.. I plan on applying to the program next spring (it's too late for me this time around) Any info would be great..

I'll be taking the HESI pre-entrance exam.. eh..I really do hope we have access to a calculator! I found the pdf study guide by searching through google "hesi a2 pdf" there are various links.... some work, some don't..if you still don't find it, just message me on here and I'll find it for you. I'll be sure to update through this thread once I've taken the exam

While it's totally doable, I would definitely suggest taking it prior to the program. I took ap1 last fall and it's a tough class! You have to dedicate quite a bit of time to it..I took it with nutrition & math, and my math suffered a bit because I had to devote so much time to memorizing everything! It's quite a fun and interesting class, but definitely not easy if you're taking 5 other classes along with it. Plus, I think it'd be easier on someone if they have already had anatomy so they go into the program with knowledge of it already.. It'd make it a heck of a lot easier !

I'll be attending (hopefully - just gotta get the 12000 tuition figured out!) American Medical Institute in Houston for the 12 month lvn program. Soooooooooo excited! And a bit nervous hoping I'll be able to find work when I graduate. :)

I'm taking the test on the 7th of May..I'm a bit nervous about the math section, but I found online a study guide of sorts..so I'm just going to go through it over & over & over until I get it. I'm not so much worried about reading comprehension, but a tad bit on the science (although it should help I had anatamy 1&2 last fall and have a couple years of college under my belt) About how long does it take usually to complete the test? Are calculators allowed? It's on the computer, correct?

I attended the session this morning.. It was packed! The school is on the small size, but they only accept a limited number of students (she said something like less than 20) so, I can understand not needing an insane amount of space as the classes aren't that big. The 50$ application fee..eh..I hope I do get an email back saying to come in for testing! It's 12,000. Plus cost of books/immunizations. Classes M-F either 7-3 or 8-4 depending on where you are in the program. I really hope I get in. ^.^

cherriekenya - thanks! were you able to attend the session today?

Time. (I would imagine it mainly takes that - I'm not a nurse yet, so I don't know )
