    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...

    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...

    For Kingwood: Day class is 9:30-11:50AM two days a week (days change so I'm not sure but most likely Wednesday/Thursday). Sometime after class on either day you will have lab. So lab can be 1-3, 3-5....

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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....

    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....

    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...

    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

    Most RN to BSN programs are online now, but there is still a graduation ceremony and everything. Depends on where you go though too! Like if you live here in Houston and graduate from UT Arlington,...

    Well thank you Diva385! In your last semester the photographer on campus comes and takes professional photos of all the graduates so we can send out invitations with a nice picture.

    First semester I didn't work, but glad I didn't because of the huge adjustment. I'm sure it's manageable but at first everything is very very overwhelming. Second and third semester I worked on campus...

    Erivee, Your score is very competitive. I would DEFINITELY apply. You have great chances. Concerning your commute, class is held two days a week with clinical one day a week. There may be clinical...

    MikeA1984, Both programs are four semesters long (Spring, Fall, Spring, Fall), so it will start Jan 2017 and end Dec 2018. At Kingwood there is an option to take the fourth semester over the summer...

    LizFrank, When I applied the titer was not required so I'm not entirely sure. It does say to provide evidence of a positive quantitative titer, which basically means you need to be immune already...

    Be confident :-) for all that we know, the cut off for this batch could be 7.0 or 8.0. Just depends. I've heard things about all campuses. Kingwood to me is the best (just graduated from the program...

    You do need to turn in evidence of a positive Hep B titer with your application. Other than that, once you've been accepted they will send you a to-do list that takes a few months to complete. To pay...

    Just read the word in the sentence. Usually it makes sense and just sounds right. There are a few things here and there that I had to learn for grammar, but studying
