I will be 35. I have put it off for years, and now I am going for it.

Congrats on taking the HESI! It sounds like you did well. I am so stressed over the shots. I went this morning and got my Tetorifice, and started my Hepatitis B series of three shots. I still need my Varicella shot, and everyone I have called is out of it. They are giving us until the second Friday of class to get our shots done. I just want to get them all over with ASAP. I am not going to be working, but I am married so my husband will be supporting us. We only have one child so we should make it for a year. :heartbeat I will be praying for your acceptance in the program.

Where did you go for your shots? I am going this week, and I was wondering where everyone was going.

You go girl!!! Don't worry about your age just GO FOR IT!!!! Congrats on finally going to NS. I am 34 and I start school on the 24th, and I have also wanted to be a nurse for several years. GOOD LUCK!

Hey, hope your having a good weekend. Okay I went to orientation on Friday, and they said 200 applied for 70 spots. They did mention that it is difficult to hold a job during the week. They also said you need to study / read for about 2-3 hours a night. Anyway...I have a lot of books to get ordered so I will talk to ya later.

No, I do not know how many applied for fall. We asked, but all they said was a bunch. When I go to orientation on the 14th I will see if I can find out. Yes, I only took the Nelson Denny for fall. I was told they would look a my compass, nelson denny, and GPA. Your GPA is higher than mine so I think you will be fine. Hang in there everything is going to be fine. Are you planning on working full time and doing LVN?

Your Welcome! No, the school did not ask my age the lady I was setting up my CPR class with did. She just said that my age may have had something to do with me getting in...she has nothing to do with the school. I would not worry about your age one bit. Don't stress over the CPR class either it was no big deal. I went through the American Heart Association. I liked them becasue it was not an all day class. It was about 3 hours on a Thursday evening. If you pull up AHA you will see lots of places to go get CPR card. Okay, one more thing I liked about North...you do not have to put out any money on CPR, or background check until after you get in. My cousin will appy to North. She wants to follow me so I can let her know whats coming next. I do not think you will have any problems getting in. You sound like you are well prepared.

Yes, I could not think of Compass. Well from what I know you are all ready to apply at north. When you go to fill out your app. take your diploma, and your college transcript even if you already attend san jac. I also went to the counsler dept. that day to have them sign off that I did not need any remedial classes. Then the nursing dept. gave me a testing date for the Nelson Deny. This was like the last week in May I think, and on July the 14th I got my acceptance letter. I asked about your age because when I called to set up my CPR class the lady asked what school I was going into and we started talking. She asked how old I was and she said my age may have had something to do with me getting in also. SO, thats why I asked. Maybe you will not have to take the HESI at north like me. :wink2: I am not going to lie south is closer for me, but north looked easier to get into.

Wow, you are on a roll. I have my CPR card, my background check done, and picked up my uniforms today. We were told we would get all our shot information at orientation on the 14th. Classes start on the 24th, and I am nervous and stressing all at the same time. Good Luck!!!! :wink2:

I asked when I went to take the Nelson Deny test how many people applied, and the responce was a bunch. I was not planning on getting in on my frist try due to my GPA, but I got a LETTER. I was told they look at your GPA, your college entrance exam scores, and the Nelson Denny scores. All I can say is I must have done well on the Nelson Deny test because my GPA was low. Did you pass all area's of the college entrance exam? If you need remedial classes you have to finish them before you apply. I looked at north and south also, but north just seemed a little easier as far as requirements. How old are you if you do not mind me asking? My cousin is going to apply for the spring too. :yeah:Glad your applying!

I did not have to take the HESI...for some reason unknown to me it was waived for the fall semester. I did take the Nelson Deny (pretty easy) test, but do not know my scores. I am sad to say my GPA was only a 2.68. Are you going to San Jac North? Ask me anything I am very nervous and scared also. GOOD LUCK!!!!

I say GO FOR IT!!! Good Luck!

I got my HAPPY letter back on June 14th. I still cannot believe I am finally going to fill a life long dream of being a nurse. School starts on the 24th of Aug. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My only concern is my 11 year old is starting 6th grade, and I want to be involved in her life as much as possible. :heartbeat GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!!!

I just received my acceptance letter to the LVN program at San Jacinto North campus. I was looking for someone who had attended the program. I was hoping someone could give me some feedback / pointers or anything they would like to share about the program. :) Look forward to hearing from you.
