anybody out there starting the lpn program on sept 25th with any knowledge about the deposit??

Wow, I did just check the website, and it does say there is a deposit required. I'm shocked! I have no idea why they are doing that, and how students will afford it? Crazy!

i am currently waiting on my fingerprint clearance card and wanted to apply to this school. I definitely dont have an extra 2100 just laying around. this is a total bummer i was really wanting to start this program but if this is the case i may have to try my luck with gateways lpn program.

I would call and find out, it can't hurt!

i'm going to give them a call in the morning and post what i find out.

I was accepted into the September 25th class and was told that's only required if you don't have financial aid in place at the time of official acceptance.

Thanks for your reply I was so stressing over this big time. I am waiting on my fingerprint clearance card, congrats on getting in .

Well, keep stressing... the administration isn't seeming like they're on the ball, but they have a super high NCLEX pass rate so it can't be a bad school. Make sure that you keep on the financial aid department to ensure that your packet is handled properly.

thanks for the heads up, I will most definitely stay on them about the financial aid, I really don't want to have to wait until next year to start a program.

Starting Block C on the 8th or 9th. Hang in there. Things are confusing but it is well worth it in the end. Keep focused on your goal and stick with the positive people. This program is easy to get caught up in all the negative bs that goes on......and believe me, there is a lot. You will be so much farther ahead of the game with your LPN than your friends who are still on a waiting list. Jump through whatever hoops there are, talk to people in Block B and C and get their help. We are all in this together and believe me, there are good people in this program and great teachers. Stay focused and when you are ready to quit, remind yourself of your goal.

Thanks for the advice, arizdolphin. I really appreciate it.

When you started did your classes start the Monday after class registration? I just got my letter telling me to register on September 25th for classes. I'm trying to figure out when my last day at my job should be and no one has told me when classes actually start, so I'm trying to figure it out on my own.

Our start up date was delayed. The secretary should know. Call J. and ask and tell her you need to schedule your work. To be honest, I am not sure when we start Block C. We have a date on our calendar but you have to be very flexible. Things are always changing. It sucks for work scheduling but once you get going, you will get on schedule. I only worked two days until clinicals started than I went back on my 3 day schedule. Work would let me pick up a day here and there - like when the teachers were sick or we would have time off because we finished testing early. Again, flexibility but some things will be black and white. J. is a good resource because she has to have things ready. And now D. is the interim director so if you can get with her. Forget the front office now that you are in. Nursing office baby!!!! You are in and demand to know!! hahahaha
