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 t...
I was wondering if anyone could give me any infromation on the American Medical Institute in Houston. I know a little about the school (roughly 12,000$, it's accredited, ..) - Their website is down, but you can still access some of the pages (from 20...
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 kno...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...

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, jus...

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'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 comprehen...
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 a...
Oh! I doubt the credits will transfer (as is the case with most private nursing schools), but after a few years of working as a lvn, I do plan on taking classes here and there through HCC or Lonestar to work towards getting my RN. I definitely don't ...
They are accredited by the texas bon. Yeah, I know it's a bit more than community college (i attended both lonestar & hcc, up until last fall - but I was going for a different degree, so it'd be another couple years before I could even start to ...
My tuition is going to cost around 12,000 for 1 year, full-time. It includes the cost of books & scrubs, and I'm not sure what else. I don't think my school is going to accept much financial aid (I probably wouldn't qualify anyways), so most of t...
I definitely think I'm going to do Med/Surg my first few years I'd possible..I've heard so many good things about doing that first then going into specialty. But, after that? My first choice would be neuro. 2nd urology/dialysis. (people make fun me...
Hello all. :) I'm thinking of trying to get into the LVN program @ Cy-fair (or any of the other ones!) in spring '11. I've got an A in Intro Anatamy..Does anyone know when I could take the HESI pre-entrance exam? Also - I'm looking for any informatio...
