 Re: New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :) My Adm. rep said I scored 100% on the reading vocabulary and the grammar section, good on the A&P, and okay on the MATH. I'm guessing they had more then 106 students at the first 2 days of orientation. So the test was their way of phasing out the weakest students. Anyways, I'm so excited, were off today, but orientation for the students who passed is tomorrow. We'll be learning about the school and the nursing program, where are classes are located, getting class schedules, books, fitted for our uniforms and getting our ID badges. I'll let ya'll know how it goes tomorrow. | | No. 375 |

Congrats! It sounds like you go to Summit Career College, right? I only ask because I'm trying to get in right now myself and the structure for the orientation sounds the same. I've already passed the admissions exam for the school and go in tomorrow to meet with the Financial Aid dept and have my interview with the nursing board tomorrow. Wish me luck! I'm trying to enroll in the part that program. Orientation starts on 12/14 and the first day of actual class is 12/21. I too have confidence in myself that I will pass the HESI but just in case I'm going to order the study guide now and start studying as soon as it arrives.

 Re: New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :) A lot of students felt like they were tricked into thinking they were fully admitted to the program, because they've already taken the CPAT and they didn't tell us until after we did all that, that we still had to take another test. I just studied my but off (I bought that Admissions exam book that HESI created, at Barnes and Noble-$40) and prayed to God that he would let me pass. My advice on the test, is to watch you Grammar-if people didn't pay attention to what the question was asking them and how the sentences were written, they would have thought their answer was correct when it wasn't. I took my precious time with that section. Good luck to you on passing the test, but you probably don't need it because you sound very confident. | | No. 377 |

He everybody,
Well, I started my LVN program this past Monday after 3 days of orientation the week prior. It is a brand new program at UEI College and the instructors are very good and nice. I, of course am the oldest in the class, 51, and there are 60 students with only 4 males. We have already had 2 quizes and so far we have 2 more scheduled for this coming Monday and Tuesday. Lot's of studying!!! Very cool though.
I hope you all are doing well and have a lazy weekend. (Yea, right)

Re: New LPN students to start soon !! Come share your experiences :) Hey all, orientation was cool, saw alot of faces ( there's 106 of us), met all the instructors for each term and our clinical director and assistant. Read about the rules, regulation and dress code. People were alreadytripping about not being able to wear bracelets, it's like get it through your head, YOUR IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION NOW. They also informed us that clinicals could be as far away as 50 miles from the school, I'm kind of bothered by that but not enough to make me not want to go to school. We're sent to clinicals in groups of 15 and your group stays the same all the way to the end. Got fitted for our uniforms and ordered them, they're Royal blue colored with the school patch for theory and for clinicals they are all white. We get our clinical supplies when we get our uniforms, also we get a second set of books that day (big ones). I didin't know the books were gonna be so big and heavy, they make my MA books look like children's coloring books. I was very glad I brought my brother's rolling backpack that Everest college gave him when he tokk Pharmacy Tech. I wish summit would have given us backpacks but what can you do. We had to stand in this very long line for 30 minutes to take ID pictures, then turn in our Physical worksheets and immunizations. After that we were free to go. I'm so excited for class Monday. I'm not sure what book to crack open first. I'll give a report on the first day, when I get back from school. TTYL! |
