North Orange County ROP LVN Program

U.S.A. California

Published

I am trying to get into the North Orange County Regional Occupational Program LVN program. I was just wondering if there is anyone here that went there. If so, how long did it take you to get in? I am scared that I am not going to get in. Thanks.

Hey guys! im in my 7th month of the LVN program at ROP. Im part of the B class. if you all have questions about anything message me on this site. ill be glad to answer all your questions if i can.

Good luck getting in... you basically have to sell your soul to the school for that year and yes, its tough and very competitive but its totally worth it.

Hi guys, It has been a few months since I've been on this site and I would just like to say that I GOT IN at NOCROP this JUNE 2008 and will be graduating JULY 2009. I am part of CLASS A.

I am just updating you all that I am very thankful to be part of such a wonderful program. I got a letter 1 WEEK after it was dated, I didn't think I had got in...Coming to class for Orientation made me realize that I AM PRETTY LUCKY. I literlly walked in to that school and seeked to see if I qualified for their program a few weeks before class started, got an interview within a few days and got an ALTERNATE STATUS letter. My paperwork from LBCC and Interview must have been good enough to be accepted. I am the ONLY one who is a straight transfer from another school. Most students have taken their Fundamentals I class prior. I am thankful and very very lucky to be in this situation as it seems like I just "walked" in.

I would have not been able to start the LBCC VN program til 2009. I was desperate enough to go to a Private school and pay $31,000, just so I could get my career started. THANK YOU ROP FOR THIS WONDERFUL OPPURTUNITY!

On the first day of class a handful of people didn't show up for various reasons and ALL ALTERNATES GOT IN.

We just finished our first week of clinicals (3rd week) and I am excited to be part of this program. I thank the wonderful staff and school for giving me this oppurtunity. Also I'd like to thank my instructors/staff from LBCC for all the letters and paperwork to get me to this level.

I went to the information session last night and am a little worried. I mean there were well over 100 people there. There were so many people that they ran out of chairs for everyone. If I understand it right, I just need to pass the pre-entrance exam to be able to take my fund. 1 class. How hard is this test? I mean, they said you have to get AT LEAST a 100 on your english and 90 on your math! Do a lot of people fail this test? Also, I have already taken a Fund. 1 class at another college, will that apply? Just hopeing someone will have some insight to give me. Thanks:confused:

Hi,

I know you made this post 3 years ago, but exactly how many points do you need? I am on the waiting list for the summer Medical Core Class, but I am worried that I may not get enough points.

replying back to my post months ago

i just graduated the program july 17, 2009

whew..i came from 4 years of college and this school tested my limits to the max

they are rigourous, whats great is they make you take the ATITESTING.com "baby boards" practice NCLEX near the end of the program..to test your probability of you passing the NCLEX. I must say, i woke up on the wrong side of the bed, my classmates were stunned to find out we were getting tested randomly...we all did well, i got a 96% probability passing the first time.

Point being, you cant really study for the nclex, but they do a great job of instilling their style of teaching in your head, and i must say while they were all 180 critical thinking questions, i was able to break down the question rather simply.

If you can get into this program, its not the easiest, but i promise you, you will feel so confident after leaving this program.

for more questions feel free to ask me. Goodluck to all

Class A 2009

ps. i came from lbcc, with 60 points (75 required), and never took a class at NOCROP before entering the lvn program..musta had a great interview *wink wink*

Congratulations, Neil - you must be so happy and proud! Good luck with your career!

I am so excited as I've been accepted and will be starting the NOCROP LVN program next month and wondered if you could make some suggestions for me to get a head start with my reading and/or review. I completed the Fundamentals I and CNA classes in Spring 2009. I agree with you - the teachers are wonderful! Also, is there a particular NCLEX prep book that was your favorite? What steps should I take now to ensure that I get accepted into an RV program later? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

I just past the pre-entrance exam for Fund I with a perfect score of Reading 129, Math: 129. So Im a shoe in for the class. I really suggest going to the testprepreview.com (click CBEST) and practice those! Practice all the math and only reading compreshension. Thats what I did 3 hours before the test ;) What I'm worried about is I do not have a CNA cert. Will that hinder me from entering into the program? UGh..I hate this nervousness...I know I can definitely make it through the program, but if I dont have the points I won't get in and Ive wasted $$$ and time to try to get in. Please let me now how crutial a CNA cert is. I don't have time to get one. If anyone can message me or email me then I will be very greatful thanks!
