The user above said the same thing I was going to tell you. I became a mom at 18 and continued to strive for my dreams as well. Of course it is hard to adjust to but it gets better with time. I had no idea what major I wanted to pursue at first until i picked nursing just for the money, but that made no sense. Why waste time doing something I do not like? But over the course of me starting college my decision just would not shake and I started realizing how rewarding this actually would be and plus my mom has been a CNA for 19,20 years now which made me decide as well to step it up a notch. Do your research though. I am 23 now with two kids, engaged to be married and have been accepted into Lone Star's 2 year degree plan. What a blessing and I am superexcited to establish my career, grow as a person and have a steady foundation for my family. You have to venture out and do your research. In my opinion Lonestar's program was way easier to get into. Everything is on a point system. On a scale of 12 you are graded on your avg grades in anatomy 1 or 2 whichever grade is higher, english 1301, Psych 2301. Your next 4 pts come from your pre reqs you have taken which are basic classes such as sociology, p.e, microbiology, psych for lifespan and a couple of others and lastly your hesi scores are graded, math being a tie breaker. The website is lonestar.edu click programs and find nursing and click the link that says nursing dept. It leads you to the other links for different campuses nursing programs. Depending where you live you can go to Kingwood, Tomball, Cyfair, North Harris and Montgomery. Each campus has applicants applying each year and different cut offs; North Harris being the largest campus but a lower cut off. HCC requires you to first take a development class and submit an application and you have to attend an information session so that you may be contacted to take a pharmacology math test. You have to make a 90 or perfect 100 to be considered for an interview, I cannot remember. And also there health occupation is centered Downtown Houston which is near to me but I would dread the traffic. I just wanted to give you some insight on these two year programs in Houston. Yes dreams do come true because I am living proof. Check the websites out when you have time!

NH students check your emails for clinical sites and days. You need to choose your preferences 1-3 and have them back by the 18th

My ss verification was emailed to me by the company in 2 days.

No I did not receive a seperate form for drug testing.

I ended up getting the email for back ground and fingerprinting from Cyfair, where I am an alternate at. I was accepted at NH. I feel it is taking too long and May 3rd is right around the corner. So I went ahead and paid for my background/fingerprinting, drug test, and ss verification this evening.

@jessi29 my first choice was nh second choice cyfair

Cyfair wants me as an alternate as well with my score. Too far of a drive for me compared to NH.

I received my email today from NH as well.

I agree with Kevann000. No one is really posting for this semester. In past threads there have been plenty of users posting there scores, and choices of schools. It is pretty weird.

Yes it means so much to have put the application in her hands. I am so excites for April to come to go ahead and get my nursing career started.

Yea I turned in my application to Mrs. Raymond in her hand at the North Harris location. Hopefully everything stays intact. She also stated acceptance letters could be sent out either via email or postal mail. So check both you guys.

Do any of you guys know if we are suppose to receive a receipt or something when we turn in our applications? Who's to say it could get lost.

I recently took my Hesi last Wednesday. I did better than I thought I would. MY y score is 10.864. I am a tad nervous but I have faith.
