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!

Does anyone think we will know this week? I've seen some people mention previous acceptance emails being sent out 11 days post deadline.

i don't know for sure, but it seemed like not as many people applied this go round. i've listened and asked others who have been in my classes with me since the summer, and just from the ones i've spoken with, if one person is applying in the spring, then 2 are waiting for the fall. i know part of it had to do with distance, and other parts had to do with pre/co reqs. when i saw the number of people who failed the hesi at cyfair (you can compare yourself on elsevier) i figured that had a lot to do with those not applying for the spring as well.

the scores are posted per campus so like cyfair and cypress center won't have the same results, but it gives you kind of an idea of how everyone else around you (not just during that day but a certain time frame) did on the hesi. i was actually surprised when i saw the results.

How can you check how others did on the HESI on elsevier? I didn't even know that the website did that! :o

go to your exam, but don't click on the "admission assessment report" but look to the left of it and there is a + symbol. click that and then you can view your individual scores. once you see your list, go to the right and click "view my results" it shows how you did compared to others. for example, i made a 96 on anatomy and the class average (came up, it was like a 67 or 72 at the time i took mine) to a now 75. it shows if you did at, above or below average, and it also gives you tools to help improve your score should you want to do it again.

Just curious... How many are anxious / stressed about getting in? I know my score isn't as high as everyone else's so far that's posted, but I can't seem to make myself get as worked up. I mean, every email I get I obviously want it to be my acceptance, but I guess I feel like I did my best (took both a&p over the summer ahhhh) and I know I rocked my hesi and critical thinking.

Like the closer we get I want to be more anxious but I see the anticipation and I get anxiety vibes and I just want us all to be peaceful. I'm chill. Maybe I get Cypress. Maybe I get Tomball. Maybe I get Kingwood. Maybe I don't. I've only been speaking Cypress into existence, but have been praying for whichever door leads me out of my current career and into my new one.

I just wanted to pray for peace for everyone here during this nerve-wracking time we are in. You're greater than the score you bring to your school of choice. You don't have to obsess over boards from 10 years ago to see where you fall. Look forward, not back, but remain present. Our days of pure freedom are slipping away one by one. Enjoy them. We will get our acceptance letters soon enough!

Thank you for your wonderful post, I'm grateful you took the time to write this because I think it can speak volumes to many of us.

I think for me it's more excitement for the validation of all of my hard work that has gotten me to this point. I have applied to a few programs & while I have a preference, I too will be at peace with the program that takes me into the next chapter.

I left everything "out on the field" so to speak and whatever will be, will be!

Looking forward to us all celebrating our good news here on this thread! :yes:

What a great reminder to be thankful in every season, even in a season of waiting! I'm mostly just so excited to start (hopefully). My husband started a business, we got married, and I changed my major all in the same year. I've been helping him with his business, but me working will really help take some of the pressure off of him. I also can't wait to start what I feel like I'm supposed to be doing. I applied an hour after the application opened up, so I've been waiting what seems like forever!!

Wow you sound like me! Lol but my husband and I got married in 2010. He started a business as well and I have been helping him with that for a couple years. It's a wrecker business (tow truck)...very stressful! Me working will definitely be a weight off my shoulders. It sucks when you have a business like ours because when you get sick or need to take off, you don't get paid! Since I was little I've wanted to be a nurse, so it's exciting to finally be at this point! I also applied about an hour after applications opened! But this week is a big week for me because not only am I waiting on the acceptance letters, I am also in the hiring process at DaVita for a dialysis tech position. I'm super excited and nervous!

I'm extremely anxious! I'm checking my email constantly. A part of me feels super confident about it, bu a bigger part of me feels like I messed up on my application and I won't get in. I'm just ready for the wait to be over! Lol
