Hey guys! I got accepted into the day program as well. I was wondering if it's too late to switch to the evening program? I've had some personal issues come up, and was wondering if any of the past students know or have any suggestions? I already paid my deposit, so I'm freaking out. I couldn't get in contact with the program manager, and have to wait till Monday.

Is it normal to wear yr white scrubs on the first day of school and throughout the whole class, even tho yr not in a hospital or nursing home setting? I was told to wear my "uniform" everydayto class, is that how it was like for everyone

I know since their both colleges that they might have you take the prerequisites b4 u enter the LPN program. So my question is... do either schools allow you to take the pre-req's while starting the LPN program? Any graduates from either school, or current students have any info regarding their program? I'm applying to both schools, and will end up transferring to whichever accepts me.

Curious... Is it too late to apply for VEEB? If not, Do i have to call and pick up the applicaton? Any help will be appreciated. (I'm from Queens, but i drive, so it's not a problem. How long does it take to get there also? I'm not that familiar with that part of L.I.) I have a test date for BALC, and plan on taking it. But I heard so much good things about VEEB, and it doesn't hurt to have a back up plan. Another thing... Is there financial Aid or anything? 10,000 is A LOT. lol

I got my test date today in the mail. Mine is on March 2nd... any1 else with the same date?

lol, it happens its all confusing at first. The only school that you listed that i know for a FACT has an LPN program, is Laguardia community college. I actually posted a separate post yesterday inquiring about the admission process for Laguardia... but anyways... Community colleges (2yrs) do having nursing programs but its RN. You could either get an associates (C.C) or bachelors(4 Yr school) in it. To become an LPN, it would say a certificate in Practical Nursing. This site has all the schools that offer LPN programs: http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurseprogs-lpn.htm#metro PM me if you get info, or decide where you want to go. I'm in the same boat as you. lol

Uh Queensborough doesnt have a LPN program, only a RN program. I go to that school, and if they had one, i would have already applied lol.

I'm starting to apply to all the LPN Programs in the metropolitan area that I can AFFORD lol. I'm currently attending Queensborough C.C. in bayside, and I wanted to transfer to Laguardia for their LPN program; however, my GPA is pretty low because i have 2 unofficial withdrawals. I tried appealing it, but it didn't go so well. So my question is... Is it competitive to get into their LPN program, because I know their RN program definitely is. I was hoping since its a certificate program it might be easier to get into...? Any students or ppl who know, please reply, and help a girl out :) Thanks.

I was trying to look for the best forum to post this in. This one seemed the most suitable so... When it comes to studying a LARGE amount of material at once, it's hard for everything to sink in. I never really had to study a lot when i was in High school, and college. But now that I'm serious about nursing and want to do extremely well, any advice on how to do it, and what to do... I just need some insight on how everyone else studies, some guidance will be greatly appreciated... lol thanks! BTW... I absolutely loooove this website, and I'm soo glad I found it. All the help I've received made me feel welcomed. :)

This might be a dumb question, but I'm asking anyway lol... When you take the skills test for CNA, do you test with an actual person, or a mannequin...? Curious...

You rock platinum, lol. I'm sooo glad to know more about this program, their site gives u like NOOO information at all! The math and reading will be easy for me i hope, i love math. Just the essay thing i might have trouble with, is that a big factor? But anyways on the cnet site, it said applications for the test will be available december 1st, so im just waiting till then. BTW, i was gonna send u a private message, but i didnt know how lol.

Ah thank u for all the information Platinum, i greatly appreciate it lol. I wanted to go there because of the location and price, sad to hear they're disorganized tho. But since you graduated and everything, did u feel well prepared for the nclex pn...? and i was just wondering how the admission process was...? Sorry for the additional questions, yr just the first person I seen on this board who actually went to the school, and finished it... Thanks.

Thank you so much. Do u know if their are a lot of students who take the test, and how much they take in?

Ah thanks, I'm going to give them call this week and find out more information. Just wanted some feedback on it... BTW, I love yr icon lol, Starbuck is my idol.

Did anyone attend this school, or know any info. about their LPN program? It's more convenient for me to attend this school, and was hoping it was a good school. I think its free or at least cheaper than most schools out there. So i was wondering if they had clinicals, and were thorough with material, and so on...? Well, any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
