Has anyone else gotten their phone call about being accepted into the May 2014 ADN program at Kaplan? I got my phone call yesterday morning! I was so thrilled! I meet with my advisor on Thursday to go over all the paperwork and get everything moving! I can't believe it is finally happening!!!! I would love to know of anyone else who is going to be in the same cohort!

I got my phone call as well! I cant wait to start!!! My counselor didn't schedule me to come in, she just said hang out and wait to here from her again.
I filled out two forms (basically asking how I found out about the program and why will I make a good nursing student and who do I have as support people, questions like that) and scheduled my financial aid workshop for tomorrow morning. I have my orientation date scheduled as well for May 8th at 4pm.
Who is your counselor? I have B. Best, I think she wants to wait until it gets a little closer to the start date. I guess they can choose when to do that paperwork anytime before the start date? Did they offer multiple orientation dates? Also, one of my friends and coworkers got in with us!
I have a different advisor. She is awesome! Very on top of everything. My transfer credits are already being evaluated and I should have all my G.E.s done except maybe one. I am not sure if there are multiple dates for orientation or not. I do know that is the day you have to turn in your completed physical and copy of your BLS card. Also we are going to be scheduled in small groups of 6-8 to meet with the DON to get our schedules and talk more about the program if we have any questions but that will be after May 8th orientation.....at least for me it is.

Congrats to you all and enjoy the ride!!!! It will be a wonderful, long, exciting, busy journey so get ready for the time of your life!!
I talked to my counselor today. I have the financial aid workshop tomorrow at noon, and I am meeting with my counselor for the other paperwork.
@Nikkinism70s, Thank you! I'm extremely excited and nervous to finally be starting nursing school! Any advice?

Good Evening Everyone!
My name is Samantha. I am an LVN. I graduated from Kaplan LVN program last feb 2013. I applied for the may 2014 start day first round...didn't get in ;(. ( I will get in next round!). What did you all get for your scores? Are you LVN's? If so how much experience? Any advice to study for KTP?
Thanks in advance!
I have 2.75 years experience as an EMT. Completed all my Pre-reqs at SDSU. On the wonderlic (spelling?) I got a 32/50, I think the average is a 23? On the KTP I got a 90% average, 89% on math and 91% on english. Take SAT or TEAS Practice tests to help prepare for the KTP, but don't give up! I couldn't get in to SDSU or Grossmont Nursing school, and now I'm starting in May!
Congrats on getting in!!! Good luck!! Any advice on the reading? I stink at reading comp so I'm trying to improve my score.
