Everest College Ontario RN program

[emt_anderson]

Hello all,

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.

Thank you!

So are you starting on Monday? Did you get a call from them? I never did.

I got a call Thursday afternoon from admitting. The lady said I've been accepted however they r postponing the start till they confirm more clinical sites. Then I talked to my friend that is in the program right now, and he said that the school told the students that the start was being postponed till march.

Hello,

I also received a call about the delay. The whole thing sounds sketchy and unethical to me. I called them today to ask about when the start might be for the Januaury cohort and they told me that they're still waiting for word on a start date. If not then they would start in July.

From what I've gathered, they are not starting a program due to the lack of established clinical sites and the uncertainty that lies in the upcoming months. Everest's parent company, Corinthian Colleges, is selling all campuses except in California. The state is barring any new buyers for the CA campuses. I'm sure this is what is keeping them from starting any new programs or enrolling any new students. I have also heard from a few people in the current program who have had major problems at their clinical sites and Everest has can't seem to land any clinical sites other than skilled nursing facilities or convalescent hospitals/homes.

I guess the writing is on the walls.

Interesting article, Corinthian Colleges Campuses In California Will Likely Be Shut Down - BuzzFeed News I hope the link works.

Bummer, I know a few people who have come from this program and it has great potential. I hope some company can buy out the program and campus it self.

Good luck to everyone who has been applying and hoping to get in.

I hope I'm wrong.

Here is what I know: mid December everest metro cchanged their whole administration, both from the college and the nursing program. When directors r not directors anymore the school looses their clinical sites. Usually the clinical sites r places that the directors have hot contacts in.. for example a place they ve worked before.

I am not sure if it is a routine thing or this just happened because of the whole Corinthian situation, last wk everest had a meeting w the BRN and they had to approve for a new class to begin, and they were the ones that blocked it, because of clinical sites.

now they have a new court date for March to see if it gets approved again. If the BRN approves it then the program would start in March. They already have 2 new clinical sites being approved, so they feel confident that they r gonna get the okay they need in march.

Has anyone heard anything yet? I called again and they told me that the jan cohort will proabably start in july. I wonder which cohort will they choose. The one that they missed in January or the July?

Hi!!

I am new to this site, I have been reading this forum for a while. I was wondering if anyone who was previously in my shoes before can help. I just took the Hesi A2 this week, Im scheduled for an interview next week. I am so nervous but I want this so bad, can anyone please tell me how the interview is? and what the essay is about?

[MKO-LVN]

I took the test on Tuesday. I have an interview this coming week too. I'm nervous but excited. I would love some advice too.

Hey guys, idk if its been asked before, this is a rather long thread. But was wondering what topics are covered in the HESI.

I have the study guide for 1 more day (borrowed from west coast university, due tomorrow) and it covers Math, reading, vocab, grammar, biology, chem, anatomy/phys, and physics. I'm currently making copies of the book for a friend and I.

But does the HESI cover all of that?

[MKO-LVN]

The HESI covers math, reading, vocab, and grammar. You only need to take the sciences if you're planning on transferring those courses from another college.

Hi there,

I just passed the HESI yesterday and have an interview this upcoming week. Since I have my sciences completed already, they said If all goes through, I can start April 13th with the current class. Is your cohort starting next month or July? Anything you can update me on with the whole postpone of class ordeal?

thanks!!!
