Was anyone on here at orientation today?

I haven't seen any responses since the orientation. Did you get into the 2013 class? If not, I have registered for the A&P course for Jan 2013 and I would love to take it with a fellow student. Again, I am shooting for 2014 and I live in Irving close to HEB area.

I registered for the online course...Strider...he had 9 spots left as of this past Friday. Are u registering for in person classroom or online? But VNSG 1420 is not required so you can take the course the 1st semester. They just recommend that u take it sooner.

Major Congrats! I'm so happy for you!!! ?

This program is shady for a number of reasons. First of all the instructor specifically tells the students not to post on here or they will be dismissed. Why would she even be worried about that if she wasn't doing anything wrong? My grades were definitely rigged. Certain assignments that I would submit online never showed up and therefore I got zeros for. The instructors were rude and definitely showed favoritism to the girls in the class who were overweight like them. Thirty seconds late is considered tardy. The teacher couldn't even figure out how to do the math problems and would expect us to teach it to ourselves. If they don't like you or don't feel you are a "fit" for their program then they will make sure they tell you that AFTER the refund dates have passed for tuition. How interesting.

Hello, has anyone applied for the online, weekend LVN program? Has anyone taken the PAX test yet? If so, is the PAX test like HESI or more like TEAS?

I will take my test next week.
