    lilag02 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thangbom- I've been wondering the same thing about Tomball, and actually, I was considering putting it as my first choice for GPA reasons down the road. I asked my mom-in-law, who works at Tomball...

  3. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    lilag02 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    You were lucky to have one!!!! I really wanted to breast feed, but I received NO support from my nurses. Both of my sons were Coombs positive and very jaundiced. With the first, the nurses used...

    lilag02 replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You wouldn't happen to be at Cyfair, would you? I saw that you're from Houston on another thread, and I have heard that Cyfair is doing that now. The first day of A&P I, our instructor...

    lilag02 replied to djNyla's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know this thread is old, but since I haven't gotten an answer on the new one, thought I'd try here. Does anyone remember how long it took for the HESI scores to be input? I took it on Thursday and...

    lilag02 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Does anyone have any idea how long it usually takes for them to get the HESI scores input for the score sheet? I took it on Thursday and was told that they should be updated that day, but they still...

    lilag02 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey RN2B- Your story sounds like a lot of others, as far a not realizing how competitive it is. Unfortunately, it seems that it still is that competive. There were at least three people in my...

  12. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    lilag02 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi Elco Girl! Since there are probably other people looking too, I'll see if I can explain the ranking system based on what I've heard at the info sessions and from past applicants. Obviously, since...

    lilag02 replied to kayleeray's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm going for the ADN program, but they covered some info for the LVN program at the info session, so I'll see if I can help you out a bit. At CyFair, the HESI is only available during the...

  15. Fall 2010 Lonestar ADN Hopefuls

    lilag02 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    Forgot to add- Mz. Eboni- I don't know about the other campuses, but CyFair opens the HESI only during application periods, so January 20 is the next time. I think I saw someone say that one of the...

    lilag02 replied to rpmccoy1986's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but "standard English"? That one literally made me LOL! I was born and raised in Houston, so I suppose I've been learning Texas English (our accent isn't really the typical southern...

  20. Nursing School roadblock?

    lilag02 replied to Doug85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ditto what everyone else said. Also, not sure if finances are any sort of issue for you, but what about just working as much as possible and saving up? I know that most nursing schools recommend...

    lilag02 replied to momto2beauties's topic in Texas Nursing

  24. why is this happening?

    lilag02 replied to ciroshkaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm finding that I have to expose myself to the material in several different ways in order to actually retain it. I'm trying to read the material before class like someone else mentioned. Then...

  25. I'm so lost I need some help I guess.

    lilag02 replied to FallinofTheStar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools are so competitive that you need to have the general education done before applying, even if they don't require it. The best way to find out though is to make an appointment to speak...
