Hello,

This thread is for those who start in October so not sure of actually how it goes until we start.

I did ask questions with my Enrollment Specialist and he stated Clinicals are self scheduled within each semester.

You request the dates you would like to go within that semester and if they have it available, you can schedule it. If it's not available they will give you the dates that are, and you can choose from that.

  Each semester has different days so 1st semester will be 8 days and then it increases each semester till the last semester which is 21 days.

 So for each semester all clinical hours must be done within that 15 week time frame of the semester.

Congrats on your acceptance! How was the admissions/enrollment process? I am looking into applying for this Fall if the deadline has not passed yet. Is this school transfer credit friendly?

[Valentyna]

Hi ! I can tell you about the transfer credit based on my experience.  I have a bachelor's degree from my country which is not in the medical field. But they still transferred A&P (1,2) and Philosophie. 

I passed all required prequisites and I will start Oct 3rd.

I know on August 1st they will provide a mini class witch is 7 weeks semester only for pre-requisites.

I also had my A&P, Micro, and general ED courses transferred in. I just have to take the College Algebra starting August 1st. My Algebra was not at their level requirement.

Great you will pass Algebra and you all set:)

Nice. Were you on the orientation Tuesday?

I am taking Algebra starting next week then starting with Fundamentals and Pharmacology in October.

Hello, for those Lvns who tested out pharm/fundamentals, and completed all prereqs, how much is your tuition and how long will it take you to finish the program?

[nea415, LPN, LVN]

I would like to know as well. I heard a year but based on the back log of clinicals due to Covid and the school accepting everyone, It may take longer even if we do pass fundamentals and pharm.

That would be a question for Finance or your Enrollment Advisor. None of us would know because it is individual based. Not one way only.

The school will be able to give you an answer.
