grossmont health occupations

by lbug4

Does anyone know if I can apply for the lvn program at grossmont health occupations center before I have completed to healthcare essentials course? I am currently enrolled in the course, and I will be done before the lvn program starts, but I wont be done by the time the application period is up.
Thanks!

Thanks Belle!
I had actually already gone down there and put in an app. before I got your reply, but thanks for letting me know. FYI: The healthcare essentials there is full, and so is the one at San Diego City College. I did find a place in Vista that hasn't even started enrolling yet though. Im not sure how far that is from you. Its about an hour from me, but Im going to try to take the Healthcare essentials there anyway, because I really want to get into the LVN program asap!! If you want the info for the place Im using, let me know. Good luck, and thanks for your response!

Belle0829-
Im not sure if I am just dumb, or what, but I cant figure out how to send private messages. By the way, if anyone can help me here, please do!!!
Anyway, send me another pm with your email or something so that we can talk more. The healthcare essentials course in Vista starts January 30. Registration starts Jan 6. The website is http://vasweb.vusd.k12.ca.us/. I plan to take it this January. I already applied at Grossmont Health Occuations Center, and they pretty much said as long as I take this class, Im in. Sooo...Im driving the hour and 15 mins 2x a week to take it! Let me know if you decide to do the same or have any questions. Good luck and take care!!

hi lbug4,
it took me awhile to figure this one out too..but you have to post at least 15 times (i think) before you can PM. i will go ahead and PM you my email because i most likely will take that course.

I'm taking the healthcare essentials course in the fall. In order to get into the LVN program there, do I need to take the CNA course first?

Hey everyone, I'm kind of new to this thread thing so any help would be much appreciated, lol. Basically, I just want some input on where you guys took the Healthcare essentials course? And it must be completed before enrolling in any of the SoCal LVN programs, right? I'm looking for some more information on it because I'm moving out to SoCal next year and want to get enrolled in either the San Diego City College or Grossmont (Santee) LVN program... would love any info you could help me out with Thanks!

I graduated from GHOC about three years ago. I took the Healthcare Essentials class and the CNA course there as well. They have changed the format a little but it is still a great place to get your LVN. If I can be of any help please let me know.
