Verah interesting........

Looks to me like it's a separate application process. Don't know what the wait list is like for it, but for those of you on the waitlist for the RN program, it might not hurt to apply here too. You qualify.

I took mine at Central AZ College it cost me $426.00 = 6 credits at $71 each unit.

Is Gateway the only option for LPN? I see the program is offered at MCC, et all. If you do the LPN through one of the other MCCD colleges, are you still able to apply to the advanced placement in block 3 when you are finished? Also, if you do the LPN at EVIT are you eligible to apply for advanced placement?

Hopefully someone knows, as websites for the colleges and nursing program aren't any help at all.

Also, do you still need your CNA to get into one of the LPN programs. DIdn't see it as a pre-req anymore on any of the websites.

Thanks!

For Gateway, you do need to have your CNA.

I was wondering about HESI once you complete LPN at Gateway..do you have to take that test if for block 3? Does anybody know?

Thanks!

Didn't the MCC programs drop the LPN exit option as a part of their RN program?

The LPN Fast Track at gateway requires you to take the HESI and Net. I called today and spoke to an advisor. She also said there was a year and a half wait to get into the LPN program.

a year and a half?!!! my goodness!!! so what does one do for a year and a half with all of the prerequesites done? waiting to get into nursing or lpn school, what other promising field is there? i feel like i am delusional, running here and there, checking time stamps, depressed over being passed over once again.....

suggestions anyone?

What do you mean HESI and NET? Like the HESIA2 test? I took that one for another program and I thought it was a much better test than the NET.

mild narcotics always seem to cheer me up :yeah:...

seriously, we all feel your pain... a year and a half is extreme for an lpn program... but luckily with the hesi and block 3 availability, it'll be just like doing your first 2 blocks of rn plus you can go to work as an lpn for some experience. it's kind of a win/win... but the waitlist is a drag.

Has anyone heard about the LPN "lottery" yet?... outside of partnership seats, and last semester holdovers, has anyone been notified they got in yet?
