UPDATE: Changes: New Log In Requirement

Hi,

I will be applying for the Sugar Land Spring 2026 ADN Program from WCJC this coming Spring, and decided to make a discussion for it as there isn't one yet...

Please feel free to put your queries, thoughts, and comments in this discussion so we all can benefit from them...

Hi,

I am shooting for Spring 2026 too. Yesterday, I took my TEAS exam and did well. I need to take care of the hep B, transcript eval, and fill out the application and I intend to personally hand in the completed app. Do you think getting the CPR cert is necessary? Eventually, I'll need health insurance and don't know how to get a cheap one.

I don't believe it is necessary for the application, however it may probably be a requirement after you are accepted... I know that most Health Science programs require BLS certifications.

Get your vaccines early and your CPR licenses, the castle branch duties are a big headache. Wish they would've told us before hand, because if your castle branch is not complete you will not be able to attend clinical which will lead to being dropped from the program. 

Vaccines you'll need if overdue, get them now if you can to save yourself from the stress and lack of communication. 

Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella the whole series, hep B the whole series, TB, TDap, Flu, COVID. Please make sure your BLS license is American heart association.

What if you have done a titer, or have gotten these vaccinations before(I.e. in childhood) I know Influenza gets released every year in August so I will have to wait for those, and I have done a series for COVID back in the Pandemic era. Do they require another series, or a specific company... Also at what point of the year will all of this be requested from you, After the program starts, or late Fall before the program begins. Thank You for the information, I will definitely make sure to enroll into the BLS course I was looking at a few days ago.....

I got all my vaccination when I was a child too but they were supposedly outdated so I had to redo a lot of the series. The vaccination must be done in February if I remember so your second month of school. They don't care what company you get your vaccines from as long as they are up to date.
 

When you get accepted a month or 2 before school starts they will email you a link about purchasing and signing up for castlebranch, on there you will upload your vaccination record once that's done you will have to wait 2 business days for castle branch to either accept it or tell you whether it's outdated and you will need to redo the series - and it will give you a date when it's due.

I was not accepter either. I have my Medical Assistant and CNA Certifications and I know they give you extra points for those so I thought that would help but I guess not. We still have time to apply for Alvin Community College and Lone Star College. The application for Alvin is due on the 30 of this month and the 15th for Lone Star. I see that Denver College of Nursing in Houston has an ADN program but I don't know anything about them. Did they mention a waitlist on your email?

I see that a total of 71 people were denied. When they sent the denial email, they didn't BCC anyone, so I am able to see everyone's email. Good luck to everyone who got in!
