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

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    I was just reading some of the older posts saying that Kingwood's cutoff was 11.4. It must have been at least a little higher since it was my first choice and I had an 11.4888 and didn't get in...

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

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    YEP! Went out and had lots of Mexican food. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I was a little disappointed not to get into Kingwood. However, the brief moment of insanity disappeared and I...

    I got my letter from Cy-Fair today. I wanted Kingwood, but it must have been pretty competitive. I had 11.4888 points. That's cool, I'll take Cy-Fair. Anybody

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    OMG TX! I just got back from vacation and read this post. What a score! I think you can un-cross your body now...you've got to get in. If you don't the rest of us are hopeless!...

  5. Slight dilema, any advice would be apprieciated............long....sorry

    smilbig replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to remember that nothing happens without a reason. Nurses are team players, but you must learn to be autonomous. You can do this by yourself - or there may be someone else that you buddy up...

  6. Hesi Entrance Exam( community college)

    smilbig replied to lovely85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a HESI review book that you can buy. I think it's about $20-$25 brand new or you can probably find a used one on Amazon or similar site. It gives you practice problems and explanations to...

    Have you started/gotten your shots? I'm going to Montgomery

  8. Lone Star Information Session

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would prefer days. My girls are 10, 7, and 4, so the older two are in school and the youngest attends preschool. My mother is an LVN who works Fri - Sun nights. She is available (what a gift) to...

  9. Lone Star Information Session

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    I have 11.4448 points. I'm guessing that I've got a decent shot at getting in. I suppose it all depends. It's going to be a killer wait, though. I'm probably going to drive my family crazy! Are...

  10. Am I out of my mind?

    smilbig replied to xenonaut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    STAY FOCUSED! I took Micro/Lab, APII, and Pharmacology last Spring. While my husband and 3 little girls had some adjusting to do, it was not impossible. I actually managed to get a 4.0! You can do...

  11. Getting Ready for Micro

    smilbig replied to unmarooned's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Much of the medical micro that I took was a more in-depth look at things we covered in API. There is a book by Barron's called "Microbiology: The Easy Way" that was actually recommended by my...

  12. Lone Star Information Session

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you go to the Lone Star College Tomball website (tomball.lonestar.edu) you should be able to download a powerpoint "virtual" information session. That was the only way I got the info. Are you...

  13. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    smilbig replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also applying for Jan 08 at Lone Star (Kingwood). Deadline is 9/15. I have a 3.7 GPA and 11.4 points. I suppose I'll just apply again in Fall if I don't get in for January, but I feel...
