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!

I took the hesi twice. The first time I made an 88% but I made a 720 on the critical thinking section (need a 750). So I retook it and got a 90% with a 840 on CT. It wasn't bad. A&P is challenging because you don't know what they are going to ask you. On the CT part, make sure you remember ABC when prioritizing patients, airway, breathing, circulation.

Any study tips you recommend.. because I'm taking the hesi in 3 weeks and feel like Im not prepared enough.

I made this for a friend of mine...hopefully it helps you. I made a 95% overall with 870 CT and 100% on the math portion.

HESI KEY POINTS

READING - 55 QUESTIONS:

There's really no need to study for this, as long as you have a basic understanding of the paragraph you read then you should be okay. The stories are only a couple paragraphs long.

VOCABULARY - 55 QUESTIONS:

Get the HESI A2 Exam Review by Elsevier and literally study all the vocabulary in there that you don't know. The words they give you on the exam are kind of hard...a few words I remember were, ominous, ambivalent, virulent, adhere, and compensatory. Also, remember that "supplement" means to add to and NOT to completely replace.

GRAMMAR - 55 QUESTIONS:

This one is tricky because a lot of people I know failed this section. Just learn the difference between "affect" and "effect." There are online quizzes for this on Google. Also know apostrophe possessions. For example, "The (boy's) bike" would be correct, but "Look at all the (boy's) bikes" would be wrong. That sentence would correctly be, "Look at all the boys' bikes."

There are online quizzes for this also, so I would google them and take them.

*Remember neither goes with nor and either goes with or*

Also, when it comes to stuff like "He and I went to them movies," or "Him and I went to the movies" The correct one would be "He and I went to the movies." When in doubt take out a pronoun and see if the sentence would work. For example, you wouldn't say, "Him went to the movies."

Also, it's "This is a photo of my mother and me." NOT "This is a photo of my mother and I." Same concept with taking the pronoun out. You wouldn't say, "This is a photo of I."

MATH - 55 QUESTIONS:

Study volume conversions. Oz to cup, cups to pints, mg to g. Also study kilometers to meters.

There are mostly percentage problems, fractions, and proportions like 1:150::x:700. I only had one algebraic expression. But study multiplying, adding, and subtracting fractions. Other than that, it is pretty easy.

A&P - 30 QUESTIONS:

I can't promise you what's going be on this, but I'll tell you what I remember on mine. Study leukocytes and endocrine system. Everything else is pretty simple like "what is anatomical position" or "what type of joint is the elbow." Study pulse points too.

CRITICAL THINKING - 30 QUESTIONS:

This one was the scariest for me but it's not that hard. Just answer what you think the right thing to do is. There's really no way to study for this. They have no study guides for it either.

Hello all, I just took my HESI A2 exam yesterday at Lonestar North Harris... I'm so happy to say that I passed it. My score is 7.36 and I will be applying to the Kingwood Campus and Cy-Fair campus in August for Spring 2019. Fingers crossed I can get in.

@Crystal0801 I agree with you on the A&P section, I just took mine yesterday. I had questions about bones, muscles, and endocrine systems. I had two questions about the ear and one about the eye. I had a osteoblast question as well. I used the Elsevier HESI Assessment book, Readyforthehesi (A&P section) and pocketprep

Spoke with the nursing advisor at Lonestar Kingwood, and she told me that last spring their #1 student had something around a 7.8 and the #80 student had a 7.2 , so its very competitive. I'm sitting at a 7.36, I'm hoping that will get me in.

I'm becoming discouraged ������������ My HESI is an 88, which I have to retake regardless because I scored a 73in A&P (hadn't completed it yet) and I completed the classw/ a B afterwards and an A in English.

I have heard that about kingwood as well. It sucks beacuse I live 10 minuets from Cy-Fair and it would basically be out of stupidity to drive 45 minutes everyday to kingwood for school. The thing is, Kingwood has an "integrated" program. Which basically means instead of doing the curriculum in specific courses, for example, maternity in one class and cardiac in one class, they would mix it all up in a kind of go-with-the -flow manner. Cy-Fair has a "block" curriculum which I am not sure is all that great. I haven't heard anything about it from people who went there though.
