Does the CPR course need to be completed when we turn everything in on the 15th or before class begins?

Nushca · Nov 5, 2013

NPR38,

You need to include a copy of your CPR certificate in your papers when you turn everything in. I turned mine in yesterday.

There is a page of check-list in the packet you received, they are gonna go by that and make sure everything is attached, otherwise they will not accept it.

Finally I'm done with my papers will drop it tomorrow. I still have to check on financial aid to see how it works since we have to pay on orientation day.[/quote']
Did you ever find out how this works?

Nushca · Nov 5, 2013

Heydanixo,

I did. I talked to the financial today and they confirmed since I have the grant approved for 2013/2014, the portion of the money for Spring is just sitting there waiting, therefore I do not have to do anything and it's gonna be paid automatically after orientation day. In addition to that I can register for co-req. classes separately on WISE which will also be paid with that money.

Did anybody ever use financial aid for summer?

I took all pre-reqs of RN, 5 classes, this summer and since I registered just early May, had no chance & paid out of pocket, approx. $2500 (classes incl. books).

Today I wanted to know what I have to do for the financial aid for next summer, but I was informed there will be no grant for summer anymore, only student loan. They only have a plan that students can pay 50% in May and another 50% end of June, but you have to apply online & pay $40 to get that.

So from now on, no grant for summers!!! I have classmates who tell me they got grant for the summer last year!

Fairy 007, did you ever find out about the daycare at Porter Campus?

Fairy007 · Nov 6, 2013

Hey Prospect the meeting is actually tonight at 7pm I actually made a rsvp for two people but my hubby will not be able to make it ....I know its last minute but if you want to go I can meet you over there ....lmk

Prospect28 I went today and unfortunately the porter campus will not have a daycare on its site :/ womp womp....

Prospect28 · Nov 7, 2013

Bummer, I am probably just going to leave my son where he is, he's 3 so not quite so young but I pay a lot for him to go there! On another note, is anyone going to work as a CNA before or during school? I am looking for jobs, there seem to be a ton of them, but you have to get certified, which I plan on doing...home health maybe sounds like a good option for people that are really busy and need flexibility.

Fairy007 · Nov 7, 2013

So far I have looked at a couple daycares Primrose seems pretty good and Discovery point .....They are expensive but you get what you pay for and I would pay anything just to make sure he is safe.....As for employment when I was on west campus the other day I saw a brochure from visiting angels seems their looking for people I'm thinking about applying

heydanixo · Nov 7, 2013

I just accepted my alternate seat for west campus lpn due to it is closer to my house. So if anyone out there didn't get in or is still waiting a lpn seat for porter campus will be opening up tomorrow(:

I take my son to Kids R kids on Collier, my older daughter went there as well and they are very good with all ages if you are still looking. They are about the same price as Primrose and people there are very nice and really know each and every one of their kids. Just a recommendation if you want...thanks for the invite, I actually didn't notice it until today, I heard about visiting angels, they are hiring according to craigslist. I am looking into a few others as well, senior helpers and granny nannies but have to be a CNA for those I believe.
