KCC ADN FALL 2013

Also, does anyone know what exactly "direct patient care" means? Does it have to be as a CNA or can it be as a PCA (personal care assistant) doing home care. Just a thought :)

Did you get your acceptance letter? I got a letter from Kapiolani today. I got alternate listed. I donʻt have any direct patient care so with your experience I would expect you to get in with no problem. Hope it works out for you=)

I just got my letter from KCC yesterday. I'm alt listed. But I have my nurse aide training and a high TEAS score. My GPA isn't perfect, but I should assume you'd do fine.

Hi, I got my letter April 5th and was accepted into the ADN program for Fall 2013. I am currently in the LPN program and will be graduating from that in August, then starting the ADN soon after. I look forward to meeting everyone

nicm64, as long as you have direct interaction with a patient it qualifies. Looks like your stats were good too - did you get in?

kaanoi & anita920, UHManoa extended the deadline to the 19th to respond because they hadn't heard from me. I never got a letter. I withdrew my UH app today since I accepted KCC already, so who knows, someone will drop KCC to take that spot. I hear that alts sometimes can get notice all the way up to the first day. :)

808wife, congrats on getting accepted into the ADN program and finishing the LPN program. I got accepted, got my letter on April 5th to. I'm very excited to start, looking forward to meeting everyone. See you at the NSO!

puamelia - that's great to hear! I actually got into the PRCN Sum '13 program at KCC and accepted. And I figured, why give up a sure thing for a maybe thing, right? So, I'll be starting the PRCN this May. Good luck in the ADN!

I just got a letter from KCC today saying that I've been moved from the alt list to acceptance! I was gonna start the LPN program this May, but will probably take the ADN spot. How exciting!

anita! I got a letter as well, however it was dated April 19th, postmarked April 23rd and told me that I needed to return my intend to accept letter by April 22nd. I donʻt think Iʻm going to accept. I got accepted to the Masterʻs Entry Program at UH-Manoa. I am torn though, because Iʻm afraid that the MEPN will be extremely rushed and I may end up being ill prepared. Nevertheless, Iʻm so happy for you. I guess Alt listed isnʻt half bad sometimes. =)

Congrats Anita920! looking forward to seeing you! Probably better to go with the ADN if you're shooting for RN eventually.

Congrats kaanoi! The MEPN program RNS sit for boards after a year so I understand your concern. I think since you have nurse aide training you'll a little background and a lot of the posts say your hands-on learning is more from your preceptors so I would just do as much as you can in your clinicals. I agree, alt list can be great!

If you don't mind me asking, what were your stats like? High TEAS V and high GPA?

Hi Anita920 and 808wife,

I was wondering if you could give me some insight on the LPN program. I am interested in applying for next years Fall start date. Any advice, help, insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
