Bump for same. Going to do one of the work co-ops, but can't decided on Medical Terminology or Legacy of the Family. Anybody able to chime in? Wondering about work load of the two. Will be taking concurrently with Leadership and Management.

Great score! Make sure you have all your ducks in a row because you're in, my friend!

OK- from the top. Taylor- didn't use. Lynn Clinical Skills book used at the beginning of the semester for the skills quizzes we had to take. Maybe 3 times. The NCLEX adaptive quizzing you don't have to purchase straight away. You don't have to buy it...

I apologize! I totally forgot about the booklist. Let me dig through my files and I will get it posted on here. I will also notate on there which books you actually need. Also- needing all of your books on the first day is an out and out lie. This...

Very much so. It's a very strange feeling to not have any school work or studying to do. I feel like Ricky Bobby after he won his first race.. I dont know what to do with my hands....

Thanks! Believe me, I'm ready. Monday is HESI final so... that's a wrap!

This is hard to say, because I dont know what changes they are making because of COVID, and yall going entirely online. The normal would be your 2 days of lecture, then 1 day of clinical on a different day of the week.

Yes. She will lecture. Do not put too much thought into it. She reads off the PowerPoint, goes off into a tangent, skips ahead 3 slides and then repeats the process. You will have 3 days of lecture before a test. She will drag her *** through the fir...

Ooooooookkkkk! She lives to make students feel uncomfortable and make their lives difficult. She maintains a smile 99% of the time and she seems very un-assuming when you see her, but she can be very condescending and EXTREMELY nitpicky. You can tell...

That is correct. The person I knew that went through it worked weekend doubles during the Summer and had zero social life. And if you want a review on ---------------------, you dont want to ask me. I will let you guys form your own opinions there.....

Last time I checked, and it's been a few years, they start off in the Summer. Their Summer session runs only 6 weeks, but you go 5 days a week, all day. 3 days of class, 2 days of clinical and you are there full time. Then you get a 6 week break and ...

I can tell you now that you won't know your exact schedule for a couple weeks. You will have class either Monday/Tuesday or Wednesday/Thursday, and clinical one other day out of the week. Best thing to do is just let your boss know this information a...

I'm happy to do it. I remember how lost and frantic I was, and how nice it was having past students there to offer advice. Glad to help. Congratulations to you both! Yes, the next 6 weeks will be crazy and overwhelming. I do not doubt that one bit...

Congratulations! Let the firehose drinking commence ?

I can't really speak much to that. Depends on too many different factors to be consistent sxhool to school, year to year. I will say this though, if you are selected as an alternate, take it just as seriously as an acceptance and have all your ducks ...

We were out for 3-4 weeks after Spring break while they got their crap together. LSC extended the semester by 2 weeks, so instead of the 8th we finish on the 22nd. The governor and the BON relaxed some of the regulations on clinical requirements so t...

Don't even worry about that right now! You wouldn't even know where to start to be honest...LOL. Just focus on enjoying your last few weeks of freedom. The time for fire hose guzzling information is coming... dont you worry!

This is accurate. If you are an LVN, they are already on file with the BON. The paramedics have to do it.

Sure. It's divided into 2 sections, each worth 4 points. The HESI section is simple. Take the various scores you get from your HESI test- AP, math, reading, grammar and vocabulary and average them together. Let's say your average is a 91.5. You take...

So to give you an example by what I mean, I'm not dogging on them. Overall it's been solid. But there have been problems. The professors act like they care for feedback and want to hear from us, but anything a student mentions something contradictory...

Don't get me wrong, overall I have enjoyed my experience at Lone Star. I have friends and co-workers who have gone through both Lee and San Jac transition programs and I would choose Lone Star over them both, by a lot. But that is not to say that LSC...

To be completely honest, considering my experience in the program thus far, do not count on that happening. They are pretty ruthless, for lack of a better term. Once the instructors say or do something, that's it. The law has been laid. For us that a...

I would just advise everyone who has applied to take the process seriously. As I mentioned before, the turnaround time has been 3 weeks from the day the application period closes. That's pretty much across the years and campuses- 3 weeks. I expect be...

Typical turnaround is 3 weeks after application closes. That's what it's been in the past, consistently. Granted, this isn't a typical situation, but that's what it's been to give you an idea. I have a feeling they are going to have to turn it around...

Hey everyone. I am posting this to see if there is anybody out there familiar with the online RN-BSN program at UT Health in Houston? I am currently in my RN transition program and am eligible to start early applications for BSN programs in a couple ...
