What is the schedule like for the Gateway Part-Time Nursing Program? Does anyone work full-time?

I was wondering the same thing. I would like to get into the weekend/night program. I haven't applied yet. Do you have to take NUR 158 first? I was under the impression you had to before you applied.

NUR158 is not a pre-req to apply, these are the pre-reqs listed on the application:

CHM130+CHM130LL

BIO156 or 181

BIO201

PSY101

MAT 120, 121, or 122

So are those the pre-reqs for the LPN or RN program?

They are pre-reqs for the RN program.

I have a B.S. and some masters level courses, but they are from out of state. I went to college in Detroit, so I will have to have my transripts evaluated by the college to see which courses they will accept from my undergrad. So I guess that is my next step. I am going to see whether it's better to just do the missing pre reqs and then apply for the RN progrma, or do the LPN and work on the pre-reqs for the RN in the meantime while I am on the waiting list.

I do work full time, and will be starting the Gateway part time program in January, so I'm also interested if anybody knows what the schedule is like.

I am currently in the Banner Nurse Fellows part time program at GWCC. I can tell you that I personally don't consider it a part time program, but a flex program. I attend class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 pm - 9:30 pm and Saturday clinical from 6:00 am - 6:00 pm. It is an extremely rigorous program and I am certainly humbled by my student peers who are working full time and have families with young children. :bow: If you want it bad enough, you can accomplish it. Make sure you have a strong support framework because it is a sacrifice for the whole family but one that will be worth it in the end!

Congratulations on getting into the Banner Nurse Fellows Program! I plan on applying as soon as I finish with my pre-reqs. I too want to get into the part-time program, I don't have kids or a husband (don't plan to anytime soon either) but I do work full-time and may need to work full-time during nursing school...hopefully it can work out for me, if not than maybe I can work part-time. Any tips on getting into the program? Do you think volunteering at Banner would help?

I didn't realize that Banner had a part time Nurse Fellows program. I was under the impression that it was for the accelerated program only, as that is whats stated on Banner's website. How can I get more information on this?
