Helen Fuld 2020 LPN to RN and COVID 19

Nursing Students LPN-RN

Published

Hi there! I am currently an LPN student and am about to graduate in a few weeks! I am absolutely continuing for my RN and am very interested in going to Helen Fuld, as they are affiliated with my current program. Does anyone know if the college will remain online indefinitely through the rest of 2020 and possibly 2021? That's most likely a premature question being that all future plans are "wait and see".

I also wanted to know how current students are doing in the program, or if they are enjoying it. I've had a rough experience in the past with an RN program that was partly due to my own mistakes (I was way too young and did not know how to properly study or critically think for that matter! ?) and partly due to frustrations within the education itself. I will also say that I have been doing very well in my current LPN program with transcript grades all above 90s, and I worry that it will be a huge ego-crusher if I start getting high 70's on all the tests.

If anyone wouldn't mind shedding some light on how you are managing in this program, or in the same boat as I am, that would be great to share information. ? Thank you!

I had to apply through nursingcas.org . My application has been verified after several hiccups with transcripts since September.

Hi!! I also applied through nursingcas, which took about a month for everything to finalize. After accidentally sending my transcripts to the college itself, I resent them to nursingcas and one of the transcripts sent through their online platform was not received after two and a half weeks. So I called the customer rep and he was extremely helpful in finding it and having it verified to my application that same day.  I also have been emailing one of the admission directors just to confirm that they received all my info and he helped with smoothing the application process. I am unofficially accepted though!! Fortunately, my LPN school is affiliated with the college and depending on course grades, I was able to bypass the TEAS...so I am not sure how that works exactly. All I know is that it's important to study for them!! Now I am just finalizing all my health forms, background check etc, and waiting to hear back about the schedule for pre-reqs. It's been a long process, so I suggest emailing admissions just to follow up with them, but all in all its been about two months or so to get where I am now.

Hi everyone! My app has been verified by nursingcas, but I'm not sure what the next steps are. The deadline was Dec 14, but I haven't taken the TEAS yet. Should I just take the TEAS or wait for the college to let me know when to take it? I'm trying to get into the April 2021 class. I'm really confused as to what to do next and no one is answering my emails. HELP!

I'm in the same situation .Verified is the final step in nursingcas. I would reach out to Helene Fuld directly. I received an email from the admissions  manager at Helene fuld requesting a few transcripts after they received my verified application from nursingcas. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I've emailed them twice. I'm not sure what else to do, and I'm getting a bad feeling that they don't respond timely.
