San Jacinto College ADN Fall 2011

Published

Just wanted to start a thread for the Fall 2011 SJC applicants to the ADN Program. I am eagerly awaiting the application period. Have any of you applied to other schools nearby?

Does anybody know the answer to the question on the previous page? I failed the a&p portion of my hesi but have a really high gpa, do I stand a chance in getting in to the program? My apartment burned down and I lost everything except the clothes on my back at the time, sooo it was a stressful time when I took the hesi. Any answer would be greatly appreciated.

If I knew the answer I would love to answer it for you, and I really hope you do get in. I know a few others that are currently worried about the same thing, and I really think it depends on the applicant pool. I wish you all the luck in the world, and I am sorry I can't give you a better answer. Last semester they accepted some students that didn't pass one section of the hesi if that makes you feel any better. :) .... heres to hoping for an answer to all of our questions today, but thinking it will be either tomorrow or the next day. Registered for a CPR class, and about to get shots done. All on hoping I got in :) good luck girlies. The wait is almost over, and its actually getting easier (for me at least).

rocket ryder have you chosen a nursing school yet? Just wondering how you felt about College of the Mainlands program yesterday??

I hate to say it but I am still undecidided.......I was not all that impressed with COM, but I think it may only be because the orientation did not seem too organized...but maybe it was just because its not my first choice.....

I have a HUGE Decision to make! Esp since I just recently found out that UTMB (my 1st choice) won't even be doing interviews for applicants until September sometime! That means I have to start a program before I even know if I am into the school of my choice! UGH! I hate this process!!!

just depends on the applicant pool...none of us can answer that. It did state in the requirements that you must make a 75% or higher on each section but i do know last semester they lowered it to 70% just to fill the spots so maybe they will do that again this semester.

i dont but if it were me, i would feel pretty darn crappy starting a program and then dropping out for another program knowing i threw away an oppertunity for someone else...just saying. I just think as a human being you should consider that. I know its competitive and all but morals still play into it....for me anyway. you have a tough decision to make.

I understand what txstudentnurs is saying, but that's just part of school. People drop for whatever reason all the time. UTMB is a BA program and would be better in the long run (so you don't waste time transitioning) but because of that it is also a lot harder to get accepted. If it were me, my only thought right now would be what nursing school to start (COM or San Jacinto). I also considered going to UTMB but decided that the drive and everything else would be so hard on top of school. San Jac's always been my comfort school, and that's where I'd like to stay for now.

I wish we were all trying to make a decision like you rocket ryder ... we are busy worrying about if we have a school to go to at all next semester. Good luck on your decision.

I do understand where you are coming from...and I DO feel bad about it but all in all I rightfully gained my spot so it is mine to do what I so please with it. Nursing school is a dog eat dog world. You can call me selfish, but I intend on seeing it as covering my own behind.

I know it sounds harsh...and TRUST ME If I could change it I would. I am sorry but I will not sacrifice a spot for myself in order to assure an 'alternate' a position when a spot in my top choice school is uncertain.... What you are incinuating is for me to decline both offers I have and simply HOPE to get into UTMB....If I don't get in then I am stuck without any program at all! Call it an insurance policy if you will. Afterall that is the reason I applied to all 3 to begin with! I do have morals and am a human being with care and compassion for others....but I must put myself first in this certain situation.

So... as it stands I will be making a decision to start San Jac or COM and will decline the other in enough time for that 2nd spot to be filled....

Thank you for helping me out...this semester has been tough. I worked so hard in my classes and I am only a class or two away from getting an associates but not in nursing obviously lol. In the fire all my hesi study guides were burned a long with my text books...it took a while to get them all back. It just feels crappy to think I might not be accepted because of the test since I worked soooo hard in all my classes. I can understand and rules are rules but it still feels horrible.

VictoriaLee: I am so sorry you had that happen to you, and I understand how you are feeling. I wish you all the luck in the world.

Rocket Ryder: If it were me I would choose the school that is closest to home, and a support system for for you. I have heard the nursing school is hard to get through no matter how good of a student you are. Both schools have great programs so why make it harder on your self than it need be? ... If it were me and I started a program I would want to see it through, just because I wouldn't want to start all over in another program, but it isn't me :).

Victorialee : That is aweful to hear about losing everything in that fire! I know fires can be truly devastating and I know it feels like you will never get everything back together from it...but you will. It just takes time. Sucks that it had to happen around your testing time too. Too bad San Jacinto does't have a personal statement area like other schools in order t oexplain your personal situation.... hopefully everything turns out for the best!
