Congratulations! Can I ask how many points you had and did you have any previous health care experience for the extra 5 points? Wondering if I should get my CNA between now and the next round of applications.

I think I had 75 points and during my wait I went to school for medical assisting and phlebotomy so used one of those for 5 extra points. I did that for free, there's a free program through futuro health and they use MTI college on Madison. They don't do a CNA program though.

Would you be able to tell me a little about the MA program through Futuro? How long is the program and it is an in person program? Do you think a student would be able to complete the course during the Summer between Spring and fall semesters?

Online it shows that the MA program at MTI takes about 38-42 weeks to finish so I'd say it wouldn't be something to do in the Summer as it takes 9 months or so. I went through Sacmed to become a CNA an it was only 4 weeks long and my friend got her phlebotomy quick as well, those are the shorter routes compared to MA an you get the points for your application still

I think it was a little less than a year. It went by fast, but it was during the pandemic when I went. 
 

I would do the sacmed CNA program too if I just needed the points. I actually started that school in Feb 2020 and then the pandemic happened and they kicked us out of clinicals. It's a good price too if you have to pay

I agree sacmed was also the school I went to for my CNA class in January 2020 and it was definitely worth it, I enjoyed the class very much I chose the 4-week full time course. 160 hours lecture/clinicals an you take your exam/skills exam an your good;)

Could someone tell me how one can submit their application to both ARC and SCC ? I have seen a lot of people on internet say that they submitted theirs to both campuses . I am only getting the option for choosing ARC even though I enrolled at SCC first. Thank you.

Hey I was confused about this too but then when I went to the SCC nursing program page, there's a list of information they have you fill out and when you're done, you hit submit. After that, they send you an email that includes the cover page for your physical application packet.

To clarify, on the SCC page, at the bottom is where you'll find a link to the application saying "RN PROGRAM ONLINE APPLICATION.”

After you filled out your SCC application did it show up in eservices under Nursing Application, or does it not show there until after they receive it? When I filled out my ARC application it instantly does, but not my SCC application. I'm not remembering the process from last year when I applied to SCC. I filled out my SCC application on the site, received the email and printed the cover page. I just don't want to mail it off if I made a mistake. Any info you can share will be so helpful. Thank you.

This is actually my first time applying to SCC. My brother applied there in previous years and when he applied, I think he said he just filled out one application for both schools or something like that so the application process must have changed for SCC recently. I am also not able to see anything on the eservices page for the SCC application so my guess is that we'll be in the dark about it until they send out acceptance emails unfortunately. I am pretty sure that I did mine correctly and that all we are supposed to do is get the cover page from the email and send in the packet.

I still don't see anything on eServices about my SCC application, only my ARC application.  Wondering if your SCC application has posted in SCC. It makes me so nervous, like maybe they didn't get it.
