Hello everyone, just wanted to update - I ACED my HESI exam today!! That gives me an automatic 15 points toward acceptance into the program! I have almost all of my ducks in a row... The only things I have left is to get my high school transcript, take my COMPASS exam, and finish the 2 classes that I'm taking this semester. No big deal. I'm just hoping that most of the other applicants for this semester have less points than I do! lol I do have a question though... have any of you taken the COMPASS exam? How is the math section??

Thank you so, so, so, so much for this posting. I took my HESI entrance exam today, and I could not be any happier with my score. I aced it!! I got 100 on my math section, 97 on grammar, 96 on reading comprehension, and 900 on my critical thinking! And it was all because of this information. I crammed all night trying to make sure I was ready, and it worked like an absolute charm. Here's hoping I get in to the program!! -Kat

Welllll, crap. Haha alright, I guess I'll go ahead and go get a titer then. Thank you so much for the help and encouragement! I guess I'll (hopefully) be seeing you in the program :)

Great, sounds like I'm on the right track then! As far as the vaccines go, I've started them all, but I doubt I'll have time to finish before application... would they accept my application if I've shown that I've started the longer rounds of vaccinations? Someone told me yes, but I would like to be sure. Otherwise, I'm sure I could just suck it up and go get a titer for them. If everything is going according to plan and I am able to apply for the fall semester, I will definitely be there. I hope all is well!

I thought about doing that actually, I just know that it's very hard (if not impossible) to work during the RN program. I would love to go straight through and do that, but I have to be able to work and go to school. My husband and I cannot afford me taking 2 years off to go to school and not work.

Nobody has anything? This post has been viewed over 20 times with no replies... Do I have to do something else for someone to give suggestions or feedback? I'm just looking for a little encouragement and help... Anyone?

Hello all, I'm starting my prerequisites this semester to be able to apply for the LVN program at San Jac South campus. Has anyone done this already? I've been out of school for about a year and a half, but I've decided that I need to go back and pursue my degree in Nursing. I chose to go the LVN route, so that I can begin work after getting licensed as well as gain the experience to go back and enter the mobility/transition program to move up to RN. My questions are: - Since I've been out for so long, will it be extremely difficult to get accepted into the program? This semester I'm taking my 2 courses (3 hours each) that are required for application. But that's about as far as I've gotten... I'm more than willing to do the work, I just need to know if what I'm trying to do is impossible - How difficult is it to pass the HESI exam to get accepted into the program? - What other testing will the require me to do? I heard something about Accuplacer and Compass? I don't think I even know what those are... Usually my TAKS and SAT scores get me out of most of those things. - Any other advice for a hopeful like me? Anything a nervous newlywed gunning for a career in nursing can get... is helpful. Thanks everyone! Kat
