Lancaster General College of Nursing Reviews PLEASE?

Published

This is a repost but haven't received any replies back :confused: . If you were a student or is currently at Lancaster, I would really appreciate any thoughts, inputs, advice. More specifically, I am applying to their RN nursing program, hopefully I will be accepted to start in the fall - got a 3.4 GPA, is it high enough? What are clinicals like? How is the staff etc. Thank you!!!

Try posting in the PA nursing forum as well. You might get answers from graduates that way, or the general nursing student forum may have some students who don't check in here.

Hi rookie1, did you get into the nursing program for the fall '11? I got my acceptance letter last week. Let me know if your in or if you decided to do something else.

Hi I am currently waiting for my acceptance letter to the fall day program at LGCNHS! Congrats to you on being accepted! I am really nervous now that you have received one! When you received your letter, was it a thick envelope or thin?

Hi there, I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hear back from then soon. It was a big but thin envelope. And thanks for the congrats :-) good luck to you..keep me postet.

Finally received my acceptance letter!!! Yeh, i can stop stalking my mail lady!!! Such a relief!

Congrats! I will be starting in the fall 2011. I am really nervous. Any advice from anyone. Are you guys gonna be in the day or evening classes? I am in the day program. Hope to see you at school. :D

I have heard from some friends that did the LPN module and they said, it's worth it, but very unorganized. I think there have been lots of other students that have been through the module before, but I heard it was like they made up rules as they went. Here's what my friends told me their experience was. They said most of the instructors are not consistent with the material covered. Sometimes, on the tests, you would get tested on things that weren't mentioned in lecture. Also, not every instructor tells you what to study for. This is just what I heard. Good luck to you in the fall.

Rookie1,

I'm not sure if you will ever get this message, but I figured I would post it anyway. I am assuming that you haven't completed any pre-reqs. For 1st semester, there are two different clinical day options (Tuesday & Wednesday). I did mine on Wednesday, so I will tell you what my schedule would have been if I hadn't completed any pre-reqs.

Monday: English Comp 9-11:50am, Nursing lecture 1-2:20pm

Tuesday:A&P lecture 9-11:50am, A&P lab 1-3:40pm

Wednesday: Clinical 7am-3:30pm

Thursday: Clinical Math 8:30-11:20am, Nursing lecture 1-2:20pm

Friday: Off (you can choose to do your psych or soci this day)

Hi Rookie1,I started in Fall'11 evening program..it is a hard program and I didn't pass the theory class :/ I might take another shot this fall..but if u start school be prepared to spend most of your time doing schoolwork esp reading and preparing for classes!! Good luck! Let me know which program u are doing.
