I know there are already a couple of posts for this school, but reading through the threads I didn't get all the information that I was looking for and considering that they are pretty old threads I made a new one because I didn't think anyone would look at those anymore. I've already completed all my prereqs at a community college, but I don't want to wait around forever to get into the community college rn program.
Anyways, I wanted to find out for those who are already in the program or have the info. What kind of studying should I do for their entrance exam? What kind of stuff comes in the tests. I also would like to know the cost or estimated cost of the school. And how do they go about choosing the students for the program? What exactly is the application process?
I've already called the school, but the lady that answered the phone wasn't able to give me much info except for that info sessions are in August and the program starts up again in January.
And if you are already in the program, I would like to know how to do you find the teachers to be?? Would you say that this is a good academic choice??
Please help me as I live really far away from this school and I am moving out there just for the program. It is a little difficult for me to just drive over to visit the school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
crap I didnt mean to like your comment. Just reply. I'm going to be honest because the waiting game sucks. They interview based on score, and they told me that they only started interviewing late November because they were running late. I scored and overall grade of 87% but my english and math which we were told were the only ones to count was around 91%. That being said, it's possible for people to have a high score and just suck in their interview. So all hope isn't completely lost. Classes start January 14th. Either way I wouldn't worry to much about it. It's still a very expensive program, and the people who make it are going to be pretty much bums for the next couple of years because of the accelerated program, that doesn't sound fun to me at all. It's like LVN school all over again but longer and harder. The junior college route is longer, but alot less expensive, and you'll still be able to work. So it's pros and cons man. I hope whatever happens, it works out for the best for you. I check this every so often so feel free to ask me anymore question.
Hey 1m3n, thanks for the reply and for answering my questions. I guess I'll just keep on waiting, my scores for both math and english were really good, but I guess its just a waiting game now. I started doing my pre-reqs at a community college but since they have all these state budget cuts they also cut down on the size on some of the classes I need, either way I'll end up getting my RN license. Hope all goes well for you too my friend! Thanks again:up:
I was just wondering if any of you had an answer from them yet. I called and they said the decision was made on Friday and they will call sometime this week. I'm counting the days....:-) Let me know any news!!! Good luck to all of us!!!

It was a tour of campus, overview of the cost, filling out forms, etc. good luck
Did they tell you if you were approved right then and there or so you have to wait?
Congrats Cassandra! They said the director is away til the 2nd. She will meet with the financial aid team when she gets back and review the candidates that have completed everything. I remember them saying at orientation that they call back about 60 people for financial aid appts and then it's a race to the finish. Whoever can complete the process first.
Also, someone said that they call people for appts in a certain order. Idk if that's the case or not.
