Gateway CC LPN Fast Track Program

[DaughteroftheKing]

OK where to start..

I was accepted into the Maricopa Skill Center Aug 08 program, but due to lack of funding/ lack of being able to work while going there/ horrible administration/ long program with long hours, I decided it might not be the best thing for me.

A friend told me about Gateway CC LPN Fast Track program & I went in today & spoke with someone in Nursing advisement.

She told me August is already full but if I have all the prereqs & certs done (I do) I might get in for the Jan day program.

I want to know from anyone whos going there/is accepted in to the program how long you had to wait after turning in the app. to get into the program?

Also, what is the day class schedule like?

How do you like it?

She said I should have no problem getting right into block 3 if I have all the prereqs done (I do), so if my plan goes right I should have my RN in a couple years!

I just dont want to regret not taking thousands of dollars out in loans to go to MSC in August and then end up waiting a year or two to get into nursing school cause the Fast track program filled up.

Anyways, any info you can give is VERY appreciated!!

Thanks,

Laura

If you go through the LPN Fast Track at Gateway, do you get automatic acceptance into the block 3 of nursing? Or do you go on the wait list with everyone else waiting to get into the MCCCD Associate RN program? TIA for your responses.

I know there are LESS people trying to get into the higher level blocks than in Block 1 or Block 2... mostly because people fail out, drop out, or transfer to another program location when a spot opens up...

I'd imagine.

I've known a few people who've done blocks 1& 2 through this or msc & they had no problem getting into block 3 immediately as long as all your prereqs & coreqs are completed
