The school is definitely not a scam. I know an active LPN working who graduated from there.
"I'm starting to think that test is just a money maker or something because you hardly hear about how many people graduate every year."
I said this in a previous post only because you hardly hear of people graduating but thousands take the test. Keep us posted on how many people are in the class because a lot of people try to get into this school every year. Do your best!
When did you receive your letter? I am still waiting for my letter to arrive. Also, is there a provision for financial aid or loan to finance or pay the $2000. When is the $2000 due?
I recieved my letter this week. As for the $2300. It is to be paid in 2 installments. The first half is due @ the first day Sept. 3rd. There is no financial aid or loans offered.
I went to Coler-Goldwater Hospital LPN program. It is also under NYC Dept. of Ed. They just started this program last year and I am fortunate to be one of their scholars. Yes, everything is free! I took CNET, and TABE. After you passed those exams, there was an essay writing and an interview. CPR was also provided free. I graduated last June and doing the review now for the board.
I meet a couple of people at Coler-Goldwater when I went for my interview. i also did that essay. Unfortunately only those who were approve of the scholarship gets to attend coler-goldwater, everyone else who where accepted goes either to mid manhattan or brooklyn.
My income was to high to obtain the scholarship. I was disappointed, bcause for me i dont thnk my income was that high, another factor is hhc employees have first choice for the scholarships.
Anyway i am just happy to be accepted. Thank u God....
wow were you the only boy in goldwater program. I've been there a few times and I seen a couple of projects on male nurses..Very Good!! does goldwater prepare you real good for NCLEX?
