    SparklesMedic replied to dreksterrr's topic in Texas Nursing

    True, and there will be others who just can't do it this time around or accept another program or even change their mind. No worrying, it's bad for the complexion, fingernails, and sometimes other...

    SparklesMedic replied to dreksterrr's topic in Texas Nursing

    Both of those particular phrases mean that you were selected into the program as long as you meet, and continue to meet, all of the requirements. Meaning you get all of your paperwork done, shots or...

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    It may be too early to ask but does anyone know cutoff scores for the various campuses for last app period? I think I heard that NH was 10.3 last time, I'm not sure about the others but it would be...

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    For the HESI yes, print out the ticket to take to the business office of the campus you choose to take the exam at. Visit the HESI page for your campus for instructions and read the ticket too for...

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is one online class that didn't require a permission number. If you call VA in the nursing dept at Kingwood. She is very helpful. I can't list it here for you. :-( lth1123 has a point as well....

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    That is so awesome! Kingwood extended their's last fall too. I wonder if there is any significance to that, like fewer applicants maybe? I applied for Montgomery's lvn program just in case but I am...

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    lth1123 thanks for that info! I plan on taking Pharm in the spring and getting it over with. I'm registered in an online class, have you any experience with that class online? That's great about the...

  21. Lonestar 2014 Fall Hopefuls!

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    How's the Pharm course going for you? The HESI was pretty easy. I took it early this summer to see how I would do, no studying or anything. Math has always been my weakest area but yes I was a little...

  22. Why Do You Want To Be A Nurse?

    SparklesMedic replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Twenty years ago I worked in a dialysis unit as a tech. I enjoyed the patient interaction, the stories they would tell me between my rounds, griping at this one for drinking too much or that one for...

  23. Lonestar 2014 Fall Hopefuls!

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're probably right about the two choices, not sure where I heard three at. I have to retake my HESI. I didn't study for it and I missed the math minimum by one point! Still don't think I did bad...

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

  25. Lonestar 2014 Fall Hopefuls!

    SparklesMedic replied to SparklesMedic's topic in Texas Nursing

    That would depend on what your needs are I think. If you live closer to N.H. then yes I would put them first, Montgomery second and CyFair last because of distance. CyFair is further than I'm willing...
