Spring 2019 Lone Star Hopefuls

Published

I've decided to make this page for anyone applying for the Spring 2019 ADN program at Lone Star CF/K. I'm so nervous and it's still kinda far away! Good luck!

How is cyfair accelerated? Does the program include summer classes? Does anyone know how the cyfair program is once your accepted?

I know cyfair includes summer classes, when I spoke with the nursing department, I was told you finish under 2 years, typically 1.5 years. After you're accepted of course not including prereqs.

And that's about the end of my knowledge lol. I did get to ask a graduate how it was and I basically got the same, kiss your life goodbye this is an all the time thing. Not that the program was hard but that it was demanding. Which, is why I chose to take pharm and medmicro now (req @ Lonestar) and lifespan (req for BSN and other CC's) to lighten the load. I would have taken everything I could so I can have more time for those classes come spring.

Also fun fact I learned is that ummm below 75 is failing in NS in if not all, then most classes. Not that I planned to start becoming a C student, but it's just something I found interesting. I'd read other's who've gone thru the trenches advice on how not to stress for an A in NS because once you get in the real world, it's all going to be different anyway. And then my pharm professor hit us with the nothing below 75 (so get 75.1 lol) to remain in the program.

Something about Lonestar wanting to shift to be on par with the brand name universities and high end programs and having similar standards from here on out. It's all about those NCLEX scores lol, they're trying to weed out the slackers I suppose!

That "fun fact" is reality! A 74.4 will not be acceptable in nursing school. You have to stay on top of your assignments...and there are many. A lot of moving parts in several classes and organization is key. Time can slip away from you quickly. Stay focused, organized, and prioritize. Good luck to you all.

Is anyone going for Tomball's LVN program? I applied Kingwood and Cyfair and thought might as well apply for LVN too. Just wondering how many spots they have.

I turned my application in weeks ago and no one mentioned anything about submitting paper as well. In fact, in the instructions, I think they mentioned it being it only being an electronic application. If I'm not mistaken, this happened with the change from the pre-req scoring system. I did everything under CF nursing department advice and never once was told to also send in a paper version.

You're right I emailed Valerie she confirmed this.. I'm on pins and needles...

I thought about it!

I am super nervous! Do they send out actual letters or email? Looking at all these scores kind of bums me out. I have a 7.19 I believe? My first choice is Cy Fair and second choice is KW.

They send out emails to both your school email and personal email.
