Hey! I'm looking into applying soon for the spring 2020 semester and was just curious how the program is? Also if they mostly just take the PAX RN score into consideration and not GPA. What was everyones scores when they applied and how did you study for the PAX?

I already took the class. I just have to get certified because I didn't pass the practical portion of the test. You MAY be able to get the test done but certain locations have long waiting periods. But if you're ok with driving a little further you may be able to find a location with test dates before December. Do you know if we have to be certified in Kentucky or just be certified anywhere?

Thank you, I didn't think about checking with other testing centers for more dates.

The school website says you need to "Have an active status on a state nurse aide registry - This would show current certification as a Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) If you already have a valid nurse aide certification from Kentucky or any state, you do not have to take the NAA100 course. However, you would need to provide your certification number on your nursing application."

On the website they make it pretty easy to check it out that’s what I did but I ended up failing anyways. Thanks! I guess I should’ve read the requirements a little better. Do you know when the nursing conferences are ? Since we get the application there. I tried calling the school today to ask all these questions but didn’t get an answer. I emailed them too but still nothing

So I talked to a lot of people already in the program, they said the people do get in with a 120 but to take it again and try to get a 130 so you have a great chance of getting in.

I finally got a hold of someone and they told me it would get posted by the 30th

I'll still be checking everyday, it gives me something to do. I've been so anxious about school I've already gone out and had my titers and immunizations done, bought supplies, and everything. Getting on the state registry and attending the conference are the last two things on my list. I'm claiming our entrance into the program in advance lol.

If I can come up with the money I will, but as of right now I don't think I will be able to.
