Mid manhattan/brooklyn adult lpn

Congrats Nurseguy1!!! I too am constantly checking my email for my acceptance! I hope you pass the NCLEX on the first try.

Could you share with us the courses you took in the first semester? That would be much appreciated...

Thank you Nurseguy1 for your advice. It is very much appreciated! I too am checking my email ever so often hoping they will email us the decisions soon. My question to you Nurseguy1 is whether or not Mid-Manhattan still has the bridge program from lpn to rn over at Helene Fuld School of Nursing. I've seen from various posts on this forum that if you score 85 and higher on every course, they will recommend you for the rn program. Do you know if that still holds true?

I wish you best of luck on the NCLEX!!! Will you be pursuing more school after you take the exam?

=)

First, the courses i took the first semester were: Body Structure, Human Growth and Development, Fundamentals of Nursing, Vocational Arts , Drug Calculation and Independent study. All the courses involve presentations, and group work. We also did field trip to the Body's Exhibit in Manhattan of which we had to do a major project. School work is fast paced so you need to keep on track so as not to get behind.

As it relate to Helene Fuld, you have to have above 85 on every course. I am actually going to an open house at the college this Monday.

Yes the course is predominantly women, But as a guy you approach the women as colleagues. And tried not to get involve in the usual 'tiff' or drama that some women in my class seem to be involve in. Stay out off the drama, these ppl are usually the ones that will eventually kick out of the program. Perhaps because these ppl are not focussing not he right things.

As I said before I wish everyone the best of luck and If you have any other questions i will try my best to answer them!

After I pass the NCLEX I will be applying to Helene FULD becuase I have above 90% in every subject and all you need is a 85% to attend the school. Good luck to everyone

For the Helene Fuld School of Nursing, is there a deadline for applications since classes begin in the fall?

Best of luck on your NCLEX and please let me know your take on the Helene Fuld School of Nursing after you have attended the open house.

missdiorcherie · Jun 30, 2011

hey everyone, im also waiting and checking my email everyday. I did however speak to the director of the program via email 2 weeks ago and she informed me they were still sorting through the applications and that it would be a couple of weeks more. Hopefully we hear something soon. Good Luck to all:)

That's great NurseGuy1, I don't know if u remember but u gave me some advise earlier on in this thread and I was accepted in to the prep program and completed it Thank you very much and COMGRATULATIONS!!!

I think if u check blackboard you can see what classes you are enrolled for. Just a heads up for those who haven't heard anything.

Hey Piinki,

Although blackboard shows that we're enrolled in the LPN program it doesn't necessarily mean that we've gotten in. The director gave it to everyone but she said they would email us the decisions (to our listed email accts).

Have you heard anything? and what's the prep program?

*piink* · Jul 2, 2011

Ooh maybe but I know a few people who handed in their application but only see that they r enrolled in the prep not the LPN 2011 so idk. I just can't stand the wait! I called the school yesterday at about 3...no answer. Maybe I'll send an email.

The prep program was a class held at the goldwater campus to help prepare for the CNET. I found out about it through this thread

poettree · Jul 3, 2011

Is it suppose to say LPN 2011 or LPN 2012 when you sign into blackboard??

Well I really hope that it is some indication that we're in the program. I tried to call them too and couldn't get through as well. HOpefully one of us will get through and be able to get some answers regarding when we'll all receive our decisions.
