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 :)
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!
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!

Aloha Everyone!
I've applied to KCC ADN FALL 2013. I have a 4.0 GPA in my pre-reqs and co-reqs, I received a 82% of the TEAS, I have my CNA certification and have been working as one since 10/12. To those already in the program, anyone have an idea of what my chances are for getting in? Or anyone know any info on getting in? Anyone else apply for Fall 2013? Good luck to everyone who applied!
