   Did they say you have to be immune? I think if you submit proof that you have restarted you should be fine. And the immunizations are only two, a month apart from each other. You'll still be done before beginning the semester if you get the first one...

   Hello everyone! First off, you will NOT have to retake any courses if you've already completed them. About the cost of the program. You do not pay in full, but per semester. The first semester is the most expensive because you buy all of your textboo...

   I just went back through my email and found my acceptance email. It was dated September 29! So I'm sure by the end of next week they will send them. Mine was a little late too because something was wrong with my email address.

   Relax and enjoy the nice weather :-) I just took the NCLEX exam and I would say Kingwood has done a phenomenal job at preparing students for it!

   You could ask Valerie or email her about it. You can only be enrolled in the course via the academic advisor of the nursing program. You cannot enroll on your own. But I think taking Pharmacology your first semester helps a lot. I do have a friend ta...

   For your first semester, Kingwood clinical sites include facilities in the Spring/Woodlands area and in Humble. These sites are long-term acute care hospitals. You will not transition into a major hospital until second semester. Previous sites for K...

    I believe you can only take Pharmacology as a regular semester course. I do not believe it is offered as a mini-mester course. In preparation, I would say enjoy the time you have now to relax, spend time with family and friends, and enjoy not doing a...

    Yes, that's a great idea once EVERYONE has covered all of the material as individuals. Then assigning topics to each person and allowing that person to "teach" is a great way to learn and reiterate the information.

    We have had some students who transferred between campuses, but we never had anyone from Cyfair. I'm sure most programs have similar structures though. You study when you can for as long as you can. Having a study group helps because it has been prov...

    CPR certification is around $35-45. Just Google CPR certification and go to the American Heart Association website and click on BLS. Then it should give you an option to find a classroom near you. They have lots all the time, and you can reserve your...

    What helps me with anxiety is knowing I did everything I could and that it is out of your hands at this point. Remain positive. BSN programs are great too. I would recommend both ADN and BSN, they both have their benefits. BSN is quicker and hospital...

    If you haven't taken Pharmacology before the start of the program, you will automatically be enrolled in the course the first semester. It's an easy online course. It will help with studying :-)
