San Jacinto College Central ADN-Spring 2015

[Beginning15]

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!

Hi everyone! I've been waiting a while as well. My friend called a week ago and said it would be about a week "or so". Today marks one week since the lady informed her and I'm so anxious. Why must the waiting process be so tedious?! However, I hope that we all make it into the program and I look forward to getting to meet with you all. Keep your fingers crossed and keep on waiting!!!

Hi everyone. I heard today that they are supposed to be letting us know by the end of this week. My friend called the ADN office.

Post when you hear something!!! Hoping the best for all of us!

Hello everyone! I received my acceptance letter as well as a friend of mine. I am extremely excited that this agonizing wait is over. I can't wait to start and meet everyone. Now I just gotta figure out my financial aid situation and how to apply for school loans through FAFSA as well. Anybody have any ideas?

[Beginning15, BSN, RN]

Tiffzors - Congratulations to you and your friend!!! I received my acceptance letter too!!! The relief is overwhelming. God is good!! Have you ever filed a FAFSA? It requires your tax information from the previous year. You have to do that first before you can apply for student loans, grants, etc. Also, look for scholarships you can apply for.

Hello everyone. I too have been accepted to the program and cannot wait to meet you guys. I'm sort of lost on how we are to start our fingerprinting for bon. Had anyone received a letter/email from bon for fast pass

[Beginning15, BSN, RN]

Hi Franii,

Congrats!! I'm looking forward to meeting everyone, too. Did you receive a blue card from BON saying your background was clear? We had to do a background check when we applied to the program.

Also, I applied for another program and they had me go ahead and do fingerprinting, so I'm hoping I don't have to do it again.

I have a friend that started Fall 2014 and they received instructions on getting fingerprints right before he received his acceptance email. Maybe they'll send something out soon. Sorry I'm not more help!

Congrats, again!

Thanks for responding so quickly Beginning15,

I remember when I applied I did a background check from precheck.com , but did not receive an email regarding fingerprinting. I went ahead and called bon and they gave me instructions. So, I am going to set an appointment as soon as possible so I can make sure I have it before orientation. Thanks again

You're welcome!! I'm so excited about all of this, lol! Good idea for calling BON. You might want to check with San Jac RN office just to see if you're on the right track or see if they have specific instructions for you. I would hate to see you have to pay for something again. This is already gonna punch me in the purse! Lol Worth it!

I used a place in Friendswood, but I know there are other places in this area.

Do any of you know which lab supply kit we are supposed to buy or do we pick all of them? I saw 3 of them and I was so confused. I'm trying to figure out how much money I will have to spend in orientation...eek.

[Beginning15, BSN, RN]

Hey Tiffzors,

I think it's a choice of 1 out of the 3. My friend says he just chose the cheapest one. I think the difference is the stethoscopes.

I planned on the clinical scrubs, one of the lab packs, and I am going to order 4 sets of scrubs for school instead of the 2 required for school. Just my thoughts. It's like $500+ for me. Eeek is right, lol.

Hi there, I am also interested in applying to San Jacinto ADN program. I saw in your post that you are also considering full time and I would like to keep mine too (since the company is willing to pay for my school) but does anyone know how often you are required to come to class/clinicals per week? Based on the website, it looks like some courses are 16 weeks long and some are offered 8 weeks long (during a regular fall/spring semester).

Anyone else excited for orientation?!
