Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

[mireillegrale]

Hi, I will be starting the RN program with Kaplan as soon as we relocate. My husband's in the Military so the wait lists at other colleges turned me away from them.

Do any of you go to Kaplan? If so, how did it work out for the student loans and stuff , I am confused. It seems as if tuition is around 45000 for the couple years of the program. I am eligible for the pell grant and the military grant of 3000 per year. But would the loans be able to cover everything else since it's a vocational school more than a traditional college? Thanks!

Fliptobenurse congratulations. From what I have heard, everyone that has been an alternate has made it all the way thru. The only stressful part may be having to attend the first few weeks as a regular student with the belief that you may still be cut from the program. Good luck to you and look forward to seeing you in classes.

just had a conversation with my rep she said that i made the alternative slot and if someone drops out then im in for September then if im not then i have a guaranteed spot in January

She said not to worry everyone who has been in the alternative spots has made it which is good news:yeah:but i dont really know if i should be celebrating at this point. I mean i made it kinda but there is always that factor that I wont get chosen for September which I i was hoping to get into the school for. I mean January is cool and all but that is 4 months away I wanted to start ASAP

Fingers crossed i guess i hope i see you some of you guys in September:):lol2::hpygrp:

fingers are crossed for you too! hope u get in :)

Does anyone know what CPR class we are suppose to take? Never thought there would be so many different packages. Is it the BLS for healthcare providers?

BTW congrats to everyone that got accepted so far :)

for applying to west coast, i used BLS for healthcare providers i think that one is the one to get for CPR

[MrsJones/RN2be]

Yes you need the one for heathcare providers:) And I am so nervous and excited to be in! Scared about financial aid! But once we get that and our schedules straightened out, then let the fun begin!

Kaplan has CPR classes through the American Heart Association. They may offer it to outsiders too. Wouldn't hurt to give them a call and see if you can get in on one of their classes.

Me, too. See you all there!
