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.

Applemom83----thank you so much for your post, you're so sweet :). I actually have a C in Microbio. that's what messed me up. I took it in a University in Florida....I had signed up for it for summer in Sac. State and the first week of school they announced the class is not gonna be offered as not enough people enrolled! After that I tried to register for fall in sac. state and other Los Rios distt. colleges but they were either full or I was wait-listed and never got in :( Then, of course I applied to this LVN program to get a start somewhere....IF I don't get it (hopefully that's not the case) I'll register for microbio. for fall spring...and keep applying to either next LVN or RN programs...I'm desperate so I'm gonna try everything....lol

Totally understand! It took me forever to get into science classes, they really do fill up so fast! My micro prof @ scc is retired so I can't recommend him, hmm. Rate my professor is very useful. But I know it all depends when you're able to register and what is or isn't full. Let's just all think good thoughts for each other & hopefully we all get into Kaplan:) Since your prereqs are all done @ appropriate schools you'll have no trouble applying to bridge at a cc or state u.

Yeah, let's hope...thanx for your kind words :) Good luck to all of us for getting in and also dealing with this wait :)

So today is the 1st...hopefully they are mailing stuff out...hopefully I get a good letter tomorrow! So was anyone told a possible start date? My rep said the 19th or 20th, but that could change. He did also tell me white leather shoes..kind of a given that you'd need that..

Well I aske about the start day in my interview and the don said she wanted to give people about a month to get things situated. But my rep told me the middle if October. Sooo idk. I hope we all get in!!

Not to make any one of nervous or anything....but I was told yesterday that "we still don't know because the board of nursing was in the other day and we haven't done anything since then"...I underlined "done" because I don't know what they meant by that...lol...btw, these were the exact words said to me.....also, they said "if anything, you should know by next friday".....so, putting these two sentences together, I don't know what to think :( I wish I can get a clear answer....everytime I call, it seems like they're in a hurry to hang up and don't wanna answer any questions....just a thought :confused:.....but yeah, I sure do hope we all get in! *fingers crossed*

Wow my rep told me we should know asap. Is there anything else they told you that sounded weird? Have any of you got a hold of anyone @ the bvnpt? You should call again & pretend to be a different student & see what you're told this time lol

That sucks. That's all I can say. Simply sucks. I called my rep and left her a message.

i don't understand why they are telling different applicants different things. They either need to say they can't tell us anything right now, or they need to have all our reps tell us the same story:P

I also found out though earlier, as far as vaccinations go, they want to see recent...because I asked about varicella, since I had chicken pox as a child but the records of that are long gone....and my rep seemed to think that a titer wouldn't be accepted, that I would need to get the vaccine...oh well no big deal, needles don't bother me anyway...except when I got Implanon...damn....now that needle was SCARY looking...good thing I was numbed up

Applemom83--No they didn't say anything else...but I didn't know I could call the BVNPT and ask about accreditation....well, I guess we'll know sooner or later :)....I guess I'll just wait and see what happens.

Ashlie--Yeah, it sucks! Let us know if you hear back from your rep. about anything. :)

Oh also, when I called before last time they told me the decision doesn't get made on their campus so they won't be able to tell when the decisions will be mailed out/called in.....I don't know why they give different answers to diff. people....now, I'm really worried that may be they're saying all these things to me coz' they know I didn't get in :(

Well she isn't in today. But I called again and someone else answered and I asked her what was going on and she said they will have the final decision for sure next Thursday.

So if they don't make the decisions on campus where do they make the decisions at? And hen who makes them? I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. It sounds likeO you have points in every catagory. I just think that our reps really don't know to much about anything. Like they are on a need to know basis. Like when they need to know something admissions will tell them. I'm just upset about them pushing the date back. We are all stressing out waiting for today thinking we'll get our answer in the next few days then "oops no... Next week" grrrrr to the 10th power!!
