Hi Guys, I have heard absolutely nothing as well and am super nervous! The tuition is going to be the biggest thing for me, and who has good credit these days??

I have a quick question for everyone. Does anyone have a clue about what our what our schedule is going to look like? I got a bit of an idea from someone in the admissions office, but Nursing 226, which is a 6 credit class is not listed....So it sort of brough me back to square one. I really need to know for my job. I work as a nanny, and I need to know if I should give my notice for the family. I know how hard it is to find good child care!

CLLB585 - do you want to know about the schedule as in what classes were going to be taking or like the hrs we'll be in class? If you go on the mcphs website and get into nursing and hit cirriculum it will give you the outline for what classes we are going to be taking and which semesters and nursing 226 is on there for our first semester. As far as hrs go I'm not completely sure but I thought someone mentioned the first semster would be like a mon-fri 8-4 kind of deal. So depending on when you nanny I might think of giving my notice?

I was just looking for the hours we are going to be in class. I had heard the same thing, that it was an 8-4 kind of thing. But then I got a bit of a tentative schedule from same persn at the admissions office and it is not like that at all. But there is one class not on the schedule, Nursing 226 which is a 6 credit class. So I'm curious to see how that is going to fall into the schedule. I don't nanny every day. It''s one day a week and I was hoping to keep that. The parents are willing to work around my schedule, even if I can only work 1 half day. But I just would like to know before Orientation, you know?

Any way, if you happen to hear anything else about the schedule, I would be very much appreciated!

Hmm interesting I'm curious about that now too. I think we weren't supposed to get a schedule before orientation but it would be nice I wonder if there is someone else at the school that could tell us. If those parents are willing to work with your schedule then I would def try to keep the job. I'll let you know if I find anything out :nuke:

Yeah, I would especially like to know, because I have a 2 year old that I'm going to take care of as far as care goes!!!!!

does anyone know if we should be taking a first aid/cpr course before january??

I don't know if you need it before January..I have it already from taking Phlebotomy. But I do know that it HAS to be the Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers and NOT just the regular CPR/first aid!

I'm not sure either about the CPR before Jan- i would call and ask. I think all of you are on the facebook group for our class? I just posted a letter from a friend of a friend lol that is in the program right now and she said some helpful things about the schedule and books, parking etc. check it out. Also I just got my financial aid package in so they must be coming if you havent gotten one yet! Now I'm just freaking out about where to get private loans from-eek!! :bugeyes:

I recieved my financial aid today, but no bill. Has anyone recieved their bill yet and can tell me how much the spring semester costs? I'd like to get started on looking for private loans today, UGH!!!

I asked about the bill and he said we would receive a bill either this week or early next- but I haven't gotten mine yet. Oh I just got an email from (lol I'm emailing everyone with questions) he said bills will be sent out by 11-14. I made out a tentative cost list for our school and I got 15,200 but I added in a lab top that I need, books, supplies, parking etc. So it could be less without those things. Don't we need to take out a loan for spring and summer??

I'm having trouble with private loans- sallie mae works with our school but the school has to certify the amount you need so basically said take the budget that is on your letter and subtract the total amount of award you got and that number is what the school will certify-no more. Which sortof stinks cuz I was going to try not to work during school so I need more money for living expenses. Blah. The other loans I've looked into were CHASE(they don't work with our school so thats out), BOA (but they aren't giving loans right now), Terri (they aren't accepting applications anymore), Citizens bank is the same as sallie mae I guess because citizens is the bank that is the lender for our school, there are some others like wells-fargo but they for example have variable APR which is not great. Other than that I was going to try credit unions. Anyway just thought I'd share my frustrations and research so maybe it will help and save you some time. Good luck and let me know if you find any good loan places becuase I'm def still looking!! :uhoh3:
