Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum and I'm on here in hopes that someone can help me out. I believe I have finished all the required pre-reqs for entrance into the DNI ADN program. Note: I am NOT going in as an LVN, I'm hoping to just be admitted directly into the ADN program. So, just a few questions:
-How is the HESI? Which sections of the HESI does DNI require to be completed?
-Is the program very competitive?
-Is it possible that I could be accepted as early as the spring '11 semester?
-How are the classes and teachers?
-How expensive is the program?
I realize these are a lot of questions, but ANY information you can give me would be greatly appreciated :)
I've found, over the years, that one of the good things about nursing is that there are usually a few different routes to get to where you want to be. Best wishes! :balloons:
If you want it badly enough, commute to a nursing program in Oklahoma. The entrance requirements are not as stringent as they are in Texas. I lived in Fort Worth while driving to school in Oklahoma last year. In fact, half of my class was from Texas. It's certainly doable.
For example, the nursing program at Murray State College only has one prerequisite (Chemistry). A&P is not even a prerequisite, so they'll happily accept the 'B' grades that you earned in those classes.
i also applied for the generic adn program at dallas nursing institute back in june of 2010 for the fall of 2010. I never heard back from them until i went in to speak to one of the advisors the beginning of this week. They kept delaying their final selection and is now delaying the whole program for january of 2011. I thought it was weird that they never told the applicants why the application process was taking so long. I dont even think the school is accredited.....maybe im wrong.
As for the hesi tests, they make you take all of the sections (grammar, math, reading comp., vocabulary, and anatomy and physiology. The test must be administered at that school too. They average your score by taking the grade from each section and average it out.
Hope my information helps you! Good luck!
