I recently joined the waitlist for the LPN program at Maricopa/Gateway CC! I’m hoping for placement into Spring 2021, but I’m not sure if the wait is at 1 or 1.5 years right now. The waiting is hard, but I’m just really happy to be on the list and ...

Licensed practical/vocational nurses—do you love (or really like) your job? What do you do, and what setting do you do it in? What do you like most about your job? Thanks in advance for your time. ?

Hi Cly! I haven’t received an email yet—curious if anyone else on the waitlist has.

This is really helpful! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. ?

I know, the waiting is so hard! Can I ask—were you told to expect a 1 year wait, or 1.5 years? I was told 1-1.5, but just wondering what things look like now. P.S. Maybe we will be in the same cohort—definitely check back in here if you hear anything...

Hi Cly! Congrats on joining the waitlist. ? I’m new to this too, but as I understand it, we will be contacted when it is our turn to be placed in an upcoming cohort. I’m not sure what times of year the emails usually go out—hopefully someone else c...

I’m waiting for admission to an LPN program. For financial and family reasons, my plan is to start there, then bridge to RN (but perhaps not immediately). In the meantime, I’m about to look for my first CNA job. I’m wondering where the best setting w...

Additional question for anyone who may have experience: when do wait list emails tend to go out for each coming semester?

We would love to hear how finals went! Hope you are getting in some well-earned relaxation time!

Wow, really? Do you know when they were thinking of rolling out the second cohort? Many congrats on completing the program! I’ve heard it is challenging, but 100% worth it. Looking forward to learning and working hard. P.S. If you have any tips on...

I recently joined the waitlist! Hoping for placement into Spring 2021. I’m not sure if the wait is at 1 or 1.5 years right now. The waiting is hard, but I’m so happy to be on the list and so excited! I think I’m going to use this time to work on RN p...

Thank you both for your advice! I will definitely look into LTC, SNF, and VA positions, but I will feel fortunate if I can land my first job, period! I think I would ideally like to work in home health or hospice after nursing school, but I’m going t...

I’m looking into the LPN program at Gateway CC. I see from other posts there is a morning and an afternoon schedule. Is the program every day of the week? Can any Gateway LPN students or grads tell me more about your schedule? Thanks in advance!

@christy1994 Sorry if I missed this elsewhere, but can I ask how long you have been on the waitlist for? Just curious if it is still running 1-1.5 years.

Just wanted to pop in to say that I too am getting my app ready for Gateway’s LPN program! I hope to apply this fall. ? Good luck with your application!

That is very useful advice. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Thanks for the update, that’s very helpful! How are you liking the program so far?

Yikes—so it sounds like the wait has gotten longer! Are you currently on the waiting list? I hope to get my application in by the end of the summer...hopefully the wait won’t be extended even further by then.

I feel silly asking this, but I have a quick question! Do only the prerequisite courses (math, bio, A&P 201, physics) need to be completed before applying to the Maricopa Nursing traditional program waitlist? Or do the co-requisites also need to ...

This is great to hear! Were you able to do your labs online also?

Thanks for your reply. I just wasn’t sure whether the co-requisites need to be complete before application. The page unfortunately doesn’t make it clear...but I might be missing something! ?

That is great news! Thank you for answering my question (and so quickly, too).

Piggybacking on this because I’m just about to start my prereqs at Maricopa. Can we pick and choose courses from any college in the system, rather than taking them all at one college? That would be soooo much easier.
