Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here is applying to San Jac Central for the ADN program Spring 2015?

I finally took my HESI and I'm ready to bring my application in next Monday! I'm pretty nervous, but excited to finally be ready to take this step. I have been taking my pre-reqs for several years at night so I could still work full time. It has been a long road, but I'm finally here.

I cannot imagine what waiting to find out is going to be like. Closing date is August 8 and they are saying 5-6 weeks until the letters go out. If nothing else, it will teach me patience, lol.

It would be nice to talk to someone doing the same!

Do you mind me asking, at what point did you take the HESI exam? And at what point do you apply for the ADN program? I have asked several advisors at San Jac and I always get the "I'm not sure" response.

I'm so excited for you tho. I'm glad I found this Texas forum.

Hi Julz!

Glad someone replied! I took my HESI when i saw the schedule for spring application dates for ADN. I wish i would've taken it right after i finished prereqs, just because you have the knowledge in your head. But, i studied like crazy and did well. You can take the HESI twice in an academic year to get a better score if you want. I applied when i was finished with prereqs and when it fit with my plan for staying the full time nursing school. Let's talk more!

ooooh okay! So how long in advance did you start studying for the HESI exam? Once you completed all your pre-reqs THEN you applied for the ADN program? I can't believe it takes 5-6 weeks to find out if you have been accepted or not. Its like torture lol. Did you apply for the San Jac ADN program, or did you apply to several other programs as well?

I started studying a month ahead of time and I recommend that. I used the book and a website called Quizlet. Its free and awesome. Lol. I finished my prereqs first due to my work situation. I know someone applying for Spring that is finishing her prereqs this Fall. When are you applying?

You're welcome! I wish you much luck and keep in touch here. Let me know how your classes go.

It is maddening to wait to find out if you were accepted. I was told it could be longer than 8 weeks. The wait for Fall was very long. I guess a lot of people apply and it takes a while to go thru all of the applications. I'm thinking they can't wait to long to let oriole know about Spring because of the holidays. There has to be time for ordering textbooks and registration and orientation.

I will!! I applied to another community college to improve my odds of getting into a program. You can check on San Jac's Facebook page and under "Nursing" they are good about listing the HESI dates. I think the last one for the Spring semester is this Wednesday, 08/06. After that, I'm not sure when they'll have another round. If you are looking to apply for Fall 2015, I would take it as soon as you can after you finish up the Fall semester.

Hi. No, still nothing. I called and they said another 3 weeks. So, it's been a week already since then. Hopefully we'll here something by the end of the month!
