San Jacinto College ADN Spring 2019

Published

Anyone else applying to San Jac Spring 2019? Application dates are August 6, 2018 - October 8, 2018.

My rubric is currently 17 but I am in the middle of APII and taking Micro in the fall; that's an additional 2-6 points. HESI is 90.4.

Thanks for the Feedback Mel! How long did it take for you to hear back from them? Was it after the Nurse orientation or close to class starting?

I heard back from them a week after the intent to enroll form was due; I didn't wait long at all.

I am applying for Spring 2019 in Central campus. Only thing I am concerned about is getting health insurance. Its not open enrollment until November.

Hi everyone! I’m interested in applying for spring 2020 at San jac but I do not have health insurance and open enrollment isn’t until November. I was wondering if I could still apply and maybe get accepted?

Hi Yadira! I'm starting my 3rd semester and I was told by someone who sells insurance that you do not have to wait until open enrollment to get insurance. She got very technical in her explanation, but I would suggest speaking to a private insurance person. Googling "private insurance texas" pops up a lot of listings.

Can anyone who is in the program at Central share how the schedule is like in the 1st semester ( 16 weeks or 8 weeks) and the schedule for the rest of the program be?

How long is the clinical shift? Which location?

Thank you all so much.

Hello everyone, congrats to everyone who got accepted and good luck to the others that are waiting. I know it's frustraiting but you will make it in. If any of you have any questions in regards to those attachments in the email you receive , please ask me and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions. You are able to email your advisors but sometimes they are overwhelmed with work and take some time to reply.

Hi Sarah. I was wondering if you could tell me how you are doing in school. I hear people have left the program because it has gotten more difficult and that the professors are not helpful at all. is that accurate?

I’m in the program right now and yes it’s really hard. You just have to be super disciplined in studying every day. There are good and not so good professors everywhere you go, you just have to put the work in yourself to be successful.

I'm finishing my third semester and set to graduate in August. Nursing school is like taking a class in a foreign language with a completely different culture and mindset that you are used to. It's not just the regurgitation of knowledge but it's the critical thinking and application of knowledge that trips people up (me.) NCLEX style questions feel tricky and some have answers that are all correct but you need to find the most correct (priority.)

If I had to do it over again I would have taken pharm before starting program because Med Surg/clinical and Pharm were a beast together. That semester is where most stumble.

That number you have isn't only people who failed a class. Some decided nursing wasn't for them, some had health or family issues and paused their schooling.

Registered Nurse RN on YouTube and practicing NCLEX style questions will really help. Saunders has an NCLEX practice book that's good. If you buy it new it has a code and once you register the code you have access to thousands of questions online.

Thank you all so much.

First semester you take Foundations and Health Assessment the first 8 weeks and 2nd 8 weeks is Skills and a clinical.

Clinical is wherever they have a spot but you will be at that same hospital the entire 8 weeks. Once a week for a 12 hour shift.
