  1. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    I would contact the nursing department to be sure about your AP credit. They, or even an advisor, should be able to tell you how it effects your GPA. If they don't take the credit, you could take it...

  2. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, and I am not sure what my score is yet. I will have 8 points at least for my pre-reqs and GPA, I just need to wait until I take the HESI this July before I know what my final score is. I am...

  3. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    You might want to check with the nursing department about your AP credits in lieu of the actual course. I don't know if they will take it or not. You actually have to have more than those classes...

  4. Loving It!

    Kyla.ann replied to justme01's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As someone who will be taking the CNA course soon, it is SO great to hear this. I keep hearing how the job is terrible and everyone hates it. Rarely do you see someone say that they actually enjoy it....

  5. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    I think they are going to change that rule. Something about the course numbers (Cy-Fair's is 1201 I believe and all the others use 1301) I heard they were going to all go to the same course number and...

  6. How to find a free course

    Kyla.ann posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I had planned on taking the CNA course through my CC in July however, I have seen several people mention how some places will provide you with free, possibly paid, training. How do I go about finding...

  7. tips for online classes....

    Kyla.ann replied to mmh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Others have had great suggestions. Obviously the most important thing is to STAY AHEAD! You can get behind in an instant in an online course it seems, depending on the amount of work, it will take...

  8. Nursing School...How to support my family

    Kyla.ann replied to Buster70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is something I have been struggling with myself. How in the heck are we going to make it when I quit my job to start Nursing School. I can tell you what we are currently doing. We have made...

  9. What does it take to be a CNA?

    Kyla.ann replied to Kkalasa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are probably going to get mixed reviews on this one. FWIW here's mine: I am not a CNA yet but do plan on getting my certification in July. From everything I have read/heard, CNA work is tough. It...

  10. Just gave up a decent income to be a CNA

    Kyla.ann replied to esunada's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I couldn't agree more with this. Especially the last statement. I know some people can't fathom why someone would quit their high paying job to do grunt work for barely anything, but sometimes you...

  11. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    Yeah, I knew the cutoff for Cy-Fair was pretty high. I actually thought it was higher than that to be honest (but glad that it isn't ) As long as they post grades for my PE course this summer in time...

  12. Lone Star Spring 2011

    Kyla.ann replied to RN2B-2012?'s topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi there!! What were your points last time? What did you score on the HESI? I am planning on applying for the Spring 2011 semester as well at Cy-Fair. I have to get one more credit in to get the full...

  13. Grades!!! Lone star student.

    Kyla.ann replied to zmojaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This may be true for your program but I guarantee you that for the Lone Star program, you would not have been accepted with C's in science classes, at least the A&P classes. Competition is tough...

  14. Grades!!! Lone star student.

    Kyla.ann replied to zmojaver's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They will only look at your GPA for those three classes. (Psych, Eng, & A&P). If you don't have A's in all three of those classes then you will not get the full 4 point for that section. You...

  15. Just gave up a decent income to be a CNA

    Kyla.ann replied to esunada's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have made the decision to do the same thing. In July I will be quitting my full time, relatively stress free job where I can pretty much set my own schedule, to take the 6 week CNA course (and a...

  16. Lone Star HESI question

    Kyla.ann posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hi there! I was hoping one of you would know the answer to this question. I am not going to be applying to the ADN program at Lone Star until July (for Spring 2011 start) but I wanted to take the HESI...

  17. A&P 2 - which was the hardest system?

    Kyla.ann replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmm.....we did the Endocrine system in A&P I. I thought it was pretty easy. We started with the Digestive System in A&P II. We just had our first test and that system was super easy. We start...

  18. Is Regular Biology a Pre-Req for A&P?

    Kyla.ann replied to ktdidit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in a CC in Houston and they do not require Bio as a pre-req to A&P. You will have to check with whatever school you are taking the class at though and see if they require it. You can usually...

  19. my feedback on the HESI pre-nursing entrance test

    Kyla.ann replied to cookderosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow! Thanks for the thorough evaluation! I am going to be taking it within the next few weeks and have been soaking up all the info I can on this test. I appreciate your insights.

  20. What do you think?

    Kyla.ann replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep. It really depends on the specific program you are looking at. There isn't really a standard across the board. My program only looks at your GPA from a few of your core classes and then there are...

  21. Let me hear your raves

    Kyla.ann posted a topic in General Nursing

    I understand that it is easier to vent about our hard times than it is to rave about the good; however, reading through all these posts about crazy co-workers or the person that is out to get someone...

  22. Lonestar College - Kingwood evening/weekend ADN

    Kyla.ann replied to teacherforADN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Try asking in the Texas forum. There are tons of people there who are either in the program now, or will be starting

  23. Taking Notes - By hand or by Laptop?

    Kyla.ann replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried both ways and handwritting my notes won hands down for me. I am a pretty fast typer but like a previous poster I found that I didn't remember as much when I typed as I did when I hand wrote...

  24. Spring 2010 A&P 2

    Kyla.ann replied to jennylouwho's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anyone else getting nervous about it?? I remember getting like this right before taking A&P I last semester too but after the first couple classes I felt fine. I'm really nervous this time...

  25. ADN Program Lone Star College

    Kyla.ann replied to taylorxteddy's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh, and you don't need 2402 in order to take Micro. You only need to have BIO 1406 OR 2401. Since you have already finished 2401, you should be able to take
