Gateway LPN Fast Track

azcna · Nov 21, 2010

It is a bit more, but if I can start in March rather than August or possibly January 2012, it's worth it for me. It's unfortunate that most nursing programs seem to be set up for the non-working :/

Has anyone out there received an offer/acceptance into the Gateway LPN Spring 2011 program? According to the post, it looks like people have been informed that they did NOT make it into the Spring program but I havn't seen anyone post that they actually got in. I applied in April 2010. However, I have not received an notification that I did or did not make it in for the Spring 2011 program. How did all of you guys get notified? This "not knowing" is making me feel sick to my stomach. Anyone have any advise?

I was notified by email...It was in my spam folder

YEA!! I just got a letter! I'm in for the Spring 2011 day program! I'm so excited!!!!!

I applyed in April 2010 so I waited one semester. There is hope!

To all that didn't get the letter - hang in there. The one semester wait went fast. I will keep in touch praying that all you guys get in next time.

If anyone use is starting in Jan, please e-mail me so prehaps we can compare notes and prepare for the next step in our lives!

Lucky14, congratulations! Keep us posted on how the program is! I hope I only have to wait the 1 semester, although it seems some people are waiting two!

For anyone that doesn't get in take Human pathophysiology, you will be so happy you did! The class sets you nicely for the first block. The exams ask "NCLEX style" questions which are so different than any other test. In some areas my Pathophys class was more indepth than Block one! Good Luck to all! :)

I just got my acceptance letter this week for the Spring 2011 LPN fast track program at Gateway!! The letter came in the mail saying that I got into the evening program (which was my first choice). I applied in April, so I only waited one semester! I feel so unprepared, but I don't know what to do to prepare myself! Any suggestions?

Congrats on gtting in. :yeah:

Now... Go down to the bookstore and start looking through the "Made Easy" books, do as many NCLEX practice questions as you can, don't worry if you don't get alot right at first, its all about the style. read the tips on how to answer the questions and the rationals as well. Also read up on the Nursing Process and practice as much medical abbreviations as you can. Memorize how a drop of blood goes through the heart/body. Also review your CNA skills. The first test is on a TON of chapters.

I received my letter for the evening program today, so they are obviously still notifying people. Going onto to Amazon and order every nclex book that I can...............

Steven H, So did you get selected after they sent you an email stating that you were on the waiting list?

steven h · Dec 14, 2010

Yes actually. The day I sent her an email, she sent me the email stating that I didn't make it. Then I received a letter out of the blue.....I originally put my app in in april of this year.
