    This post made my day. Hahaha, congratulations! I'm happy for you. I hope my 11.67 makes the cut at Montgomery. Cy-Fair was going to be my 2nd choice because they have the best NCLEX pass rate of...

    Kevann were they asking for the Agency Number/ORI? If so, it is TX923490Z. If you Google search "TX923490Z agency number" the first and second link should be an LSC Word Doc. This number is...

    I found my acceptance letter from last years North Harris program. I said in a previous post that I got my letter around April 9th, but as I am looking at the letter it is dated April 16th. :-/...

    Did you go through L1-Identity Solution to get your hands and fingers scanned? That is the next step, see the PDF link on my former post. If you did that already then just wait for your acceptance...

    Each student is responsible for paying (50$ I believe) for the background check from http://www.l1id.com (L1-Identity Solution). This is the same website everyone will have to go through regardless...

    To my knowledge, nursing programs are looking for a blue card so that they can photocopy it. When I was at the LVN orientation this past Monday, at the Montgomery Campus, a couple of people were...

    I'm sorry, I meant to ask if you received a letter of clearance from them. You won't receive a blue card until your name is sent from a nursing program to the BON who in turn runs the background...

    Yes, most everyone, including myself, were working part-time, usually as a CNA. It's doable, especially if home, work and school are relatively close. The first semester is 9 or 10 credit hours as I...

    So long as you get a blue post card from the TX-BON then you have nothing further to do, that means you are in the clear. Have you received one yet, or did they indicate you'd be sent

    Please see the following link under BACKGROUND CHECKS. It is from UTHSC-Houston, but the same lingo and concept is used at LSC Nursing Programs. They do a better job than I would. (Grin) The...

    Just to give you all some comfort about the process, I was accepted and had been attending LSC-North Harris up until the end October of last year. I want to give you all my experience. Letters were...
