Hey Jen,

Just curious have you found out anything about what day you have clinical? I received an email today that said we will have theory on Thursdays and Clinical any other day of the week being assigned to a particular day but the email doesn't say exactly which day. Wanted to know when they will assign so I can plan my work schedule around it. If you have any insight please let me know.

Thanks 

Hey girl! we JUST received our schedule in our emails LOL what is your email so we can keep talking so the info isn’t out here.

Hey there! I honestly do now know how often a new cohort begins. I recommend calling the school and speaking with Nadeem. He’s awesome and very informative With any questions you may have. Our first term is ending next week so we begin term 2 July 5, double check on when the new cohort begins. As far as tuition and program length it depends what route you want to take. If you want to stop at ADN it is under a year and a half. The BSN route will begin after you get your ADN so you can take NCLEX And start working right away. That’s what sold me to the program honestly. It’s the fastest that I’ve seen

Thanks for this info! If we do want to go onto get a Master’s degree, can we go to another college? What’s with the accreditation?

Hey congrats! Just breathe and you’ll be fine trust me. If the director Jeannie brown is interviewing you you are in great hands. She’s amazing and really makes you feel welcome and not intimidating whatsoever. In my interview which was through zoom at the time she asked me the usual why you want to be a nurse, my experience and background. It just felt like a normal conversation rather than a scary first job interview which was really nice. At the end of it you do have to prepare an essay based on a question she gives you and you have 1 hour to turn it in after the interview. Again, this was through zoom for me so she emailed me the essay question and typed it up through word and sent it back. If your interview is in person now I am unsure if they will still do that but just a heads up! My question wasn’t hard at all and don’t think too much, they won’t count against you if you suck at writing essays LOL good luck! When is your expected start date?

Hey Jen, 

Thanks for giving me a heads up about this whole process. What a relief breathe of air reading your reply! I was pretty bummed to hear that I needed to attend face to face interview vs. zoom LOL on the positive side, at least I am getting an interview right? haha! If you don't mind me asking, when did you started the program? How is the program going? What are the schedules like roughly in the first few months? I am aware that many schools out there are not perfect completely. Basically the main thing is as a student has the staff and the protocols has met you expectation as a student? Start date I believe is Sept 7th

Hey so I’m going to be honest 100% here and say the school is still very new. My class is the third cohort (we started March 8th) so the school still has its kinks to work through and at times it can be disorganized. That being said no school or program is perfect, you just have to roll with the punches and be very flexible when it comes to your own schedule. If youre working your job has to be flexible to accomadate. 
 

My class is now in our second semester and I personally feel like it’s improved and it’s way smoother compared to first semester. I’m an Lvn so fundamentals was a bit on the boring side but once you hit med-surg it’s great, a lot of work but good. For first semester you’re going to have: 

1 lecture day for 4 hours (ours was on zoom on fridays) 

1 clinical day for 8hours. Now, clinical days are going to be different for everyone. You get assigned into your clinical groups. My group had our clinicals on Tuesdays and the other groups went either mondays, Wednesdays or Thursdays. 
 

1 skills/simulation day which also depends on your clinical group. We had skills for 3 weeks in the beginning and the last few weeks of the terms we had simulation days. I know it’s kind of confusing but essentially expect 3 days out of the week. They may also assign you on the weekend too so expect that just in case. I didn’t get any weekend dates so far but my other class mates have. Hope this helps some what

When I applied the the program cut off for the TEAS was 65%. I applied in November last year. But I know they have increased it to 70% since then so as long as you’re at 70 and up you should be fine. BUT please check with the school to be 100 percent accurate.
