Hi is anyone starting HCC CNA to LVN spring transition program 2015?

Published

Just wondering who else is applying for HCC CNA to LVN transition program for Spring 2015?

Hi Megan, yes I am really hoping and praying we get the letter before thanksgiving since there's no mail on thanksgiving day. The loan sounds about right in case we can't apply for aid anymore. I am planning not to work for that whole lvn year so I can be focused 100 percent in the program.

Hi, everyone here, I'm in the LVN program at HCC, about to end in a couple of week. If y'all are still waiting for your acceptance letters after your interviews, let me tell you, my group didn't get our letter about uniform fitting until the day before. Yep, they sent us the letter about the uniform fitting, exactly the day before making us all have to drop everything and get some money and make arrangement to be there the day after. It's nothing new for them to make you wait forever and expect you to drop everything and go.

Smarty pants, yes thank you. How long did it take for the fitting like would we have to take off work or something. Thank tou so much for your help! I love how nurses help each other. I've always been told that nurses always help each other along the way and that has always been evident in my life!

Well, actually I applied for fall 2013 and I didn't get in until spring 2014, so I don't know how long after the interviews it took for the fitting letters to come. I do know that it was 2 weeks before thanksgiving last year that we got them, so it's weird that y'all haven't gotten them yet.

The fitting takes about an hour, depending on the number of people who are there with you, since they will break it up into smaller groups.

Thank you for all your help, I have one more question, once you're in the program, can we make tuition installments or do they want the entire money upfront? Because I have not applied for financial aid yet and I'm thinking its too late to apply for it once we get accepted.

I think you an do a payment plan, but that's only paying half at a time, and HCC wants that first half right away.

You're welcome, and thank you. My group just has 2 finals left and an ATI comp predictor (kind of like a practice NCLEX) and were done.

feel free to message me with any questions y'all might have.

I have a quick update on the lvn program. Stephanie said she will mail out the letters sometime next week. That means, our nerves will be bad for another week. I was hoping to get it by Thanksgiving. Have a Happy Thanksgiving you guys!!
