Gateway CC LPN Cohort Fall 2016

Dasdamo4 RN · May 13, 2016

Wait so they didn't offer you placement quite just yet then?

Hello,

New to this thread...I also just received my email yesterday for placement for Fall 2016. Super excited. She said early June is when they plan on sending out an official offer which will state if it's the day or evening cohort.

Hey welcome, congratulations. When did you submit your application?

@stephanie i requested for the day program, I've put up with so much evening classes I honestly want to do the daytime now. Evening has labs scheduled Saturdays and I honestly would like the weekends available to study.

@dasdamo4 The email stated they have 64 seats available and the top 64 applicants are being notified in this email. It seems like I got offered placement. My preferred schedule though was not a guarantee. So if other people who waited longer then me request day, than I'd be stuck with evening.

@michelly Awesome! Did u receive a similar email?! Which is your preferred schedule? Early June isn't too far :) she did mention that at that time students would be able to defer if they requested. Glad that we finally heard something. I'm ready to get going lol. When did u apply?

I submitted my application to the advisor at the end of august. I requested the day program.

Dasdamo4 RN · May 14, 2016

Dang, if you are one of the 64 applicants who received an email, looks like I might have to wait till next spring :/

Bere70839 · May 14, 2016

@dasdamo :/ don't think about that just yet. They still haven't given students the deferred option yet. The email did state that placement may continue up until the first day of class. I was also reading previous posts about students who got accepted during summer time. I wonder how many applications go in each month. You mentioned you placed yours in November right? Mine was in Oct. end of Oct.

@michelly Way earlier than mine lol! I'm sure you will more then likely get ur preferred schedule. I placed mine end of Oct. Do u plan on continuing for RN?

Michelly2016 · May 14, 2016

@Bere70839 Yes I will be doing the RN. I was on the waitlist for the RN program. But unfortunately didn't get placed for Fall 2016. But thankfully the PN program came thru. I just really didn't want to delay my schooling any further.

Dasdamo4 RN · May 14, 2016

My application was in December 7th so a little later. It's a waiting game so we'll see. If not fall then surely spring.

Hey, all. I also received confirmation for the Fall. My application was submitted in Sept. I was going through the advanced placement application (to be sure all the pre's and co's are done) and I'm curious...

it it says we need to apply to block 3 within 9 months of completing the lpn-but rumor is schools are wait listing 1 year out. ???

Also, it requires our hesi scores within the 24 mo timeframe. What if we're shy a month because we've been wait listed.

Michelly2016 · May 16, 2016

@Nikkish. Those are the time frame from when you submit the actual application for block 3, not when you would start the block 3 program. Hope that makes sense.

Unless the advanced placement packet has been updated after June 2015, section 6 says LPN transfer students applying into Block 3 must have Hesi A2 scores that are good within the 2 years as well as THE SECOND Hesi LPN to RN scores (above 850). It also says that we need to be within 9 months of completing the LPN program.

This is so discouraging.
