New "09" Fall Lone Star North Harris Students

[Tyshe]

CONGRATULATIONS :yeah:to all that got accepted into the nursing program at Lone Star College and also the ones put on as alternates (hang in there, I have read good news for alternates in previous threads). Its been a long hard road for some of us and some its prabably been easy. I wanted to start a new thread for North Harris fall "09" students (or who every wants to comment or give tips.) Reading from previous threads I understand nursing school is not an easy tasks. So, hopefully this thread can help us entering into this new life we are about to experience for the next 2 yrs.

I was hoping we can form a study group to jump start us off before school starts. I heard that students usually have their group going by the first day of class. I am a little shy when it comes to meeting new people, but once I am comfortable I fit in just fine. I know from the previous thread a few of us admitted our shyness in a new environment. So, hopefully this thread can help us jump start our group...

Have anyone start working on their CPR, shots, physical and etc. Do anyone have to take pharm this summer? As for me, I have to take pharm this summer. I wish I had already taken it earlier so I could have enjoyed my summer.

Hi jagtag,, thanks for thinking of us,,, we are all pretty excited,, yet nervous because time is moving fast... Are you going to apply at North Harris? I will keep you guys informed as we tackle this new journey...

[jagtag]

Tyshe,

I am thinking of either applying to CyFair, NH or Kingwood. I live closer to CF, but am definitely willing to drive to either school as long as I get in. It almost seems surreal that I am finally so close to taking that big step. It has been a long time coming, and I am just happy that it is almost here.

[Tyshe]

Cool, I know exactly how you feel. I remember this January when I was ready to apply, I could not believe it was finally time for me to put in my application.... Are you applying for the spring semester or next year fall?? I know that Cy-fair has a spring semester, but NH only have the fall...

[jagtag]

I am currently debating whether I should try for the spring/fall. I only need to complete Micro and Sociology. I believe that Cyfair generally has a 11.4 cutoff. I will definitely take the Hesi next month to see where I am and then go from there. Kinda nervous about the reading section since it can make or break you. We shall see.

Hi there! I have a quick question that I can't seem to find the answer to on the LSC website.

Does the program factor in your GPA for only the pre-req courses (A&P, English, and Pych right?) or does it use your GPA for everything you have taken including the co-reqs and others that might have been taken while figuring out what you want to be when you grow up.

I went to an information session several months ago but I can't remember what was said about this.

[jagtag]

Kyla ann,

I believe that the 3 prereqs is what is used for GPA calculation, hth.

[Tyshe]

Its almost time to register...you guys ready..???

[Tyshe]
