Hi everyone. Iam looking into the kaplan college in sacramento lvn program that starts in october. I went for the tour already and passed the first test. What i was wondering was does anyone have any thoughts on this school? are you currently attending this class? how are the teachers what type of finacial aid do they have? any info would be greatly appreciated. also i was looking at csi college in vacaville anything on that school would be helpful too.

My shot records are on the bottom of my transcripts so i should be good with that.. But im going to call dawan today and ask him about the letter.. And i dont think they did update the scores.. They havent sent me and email and last time i checked it wasn't on there..

Thanks guys! yeah, I looked into some schools and asked but wasn't sure because I didn't get proper replies. UOPhoenix sounds good, I'll look into that, hopefully after getting into Kaplan first :)

Good luck!! when do you go in and take the hesi?

Actually, I haven't even taken the Entrance assesment either, I'm most probably going this week and taking the Hesi next week....or so I have planned :). I've known about the program for a while but was just double-minded because of the accreditation and everything plus there's no financial aid but I've finally decided to take the step coz' right now atleast I have an option and I don't want to miss any chance to start soon :)

I read that you did well on the HESI, congrats! :)

Yeah I did. Thank you. Umm you mentioned that there wasn't any financial aid? where did you that from? I was told that they do participate with the government loans, You just have to fill out the fasfa.

Oh sorry, I meant there aren't any grants as of now but I spoke to someone last week and they cleared it for me that if the school gets accreditation in september then they'll start offering grants to those who qualify as well....I hope I do (if I get in that is hehe) :)

Oh and about the HESI, how was it compared to the practice study guides they gave out? Was it similar, harder, easier? I'm taking it this week....fingers crossed :(

Oh Ok..lol. Im sure you will do great. I would pay alot of attention to the fractions and make sure you know how to tell which decimal is greater than another. Each test is different so this info might not be of any use to you. Thet first time i took it, it was nothing but fractions..when i re-took it nothing but ratios..lol. Good thing im good with ratios(hehehehe). umm the practice guide was a little useful..umm mesmorize the vocab. How many more weeks of testing is left do you know? im soo ready to get on to the interviewing!!!

Yeah, I hope I do great as well :). I'm trying to do problems and getting 'em right, hopefully I'll do the same when testing....I'm bad test taker and also if it's on a computer, I find it little bit more time consuming....Anyhow, from what I heard, they're testing on every saturday of this month but they're trying to add some weekdays too if the proctor is available. So, I guess all this month? Don't know about september though. And yeah, I wanna get it done too so I can get to the interviewing too and already start with the program! :)

I'm scheduled on thursday, august 20th at kaplan-stockton for the HESI. I'll be reviewing my HESI book this weekend.

Hey,

I just had a quick question for you guys. What sections were you tested on in the HESI? Just reading, math, vocabulary, right? Not Grammar or any sciences, correct? Also, were you allowed to use a calculator or scratch paper? Thanks a lot! :)

took the HESI today and did quite well!

the test covered math, vocabulary and reading/comprehension. there were also personality and learning type sections where I was evaluated (spot on, I might add), but not scored.

and contrary to what others have said, the HESI A2 study guide did help! I just wish I would've known that the test wasn't going to cover A&P, chem and physics. I did spend considerable time working on those subjects.

Hi,

That's good you did good, Plaza :). Were you allowed to use a calculator or scratch paper for math?
