well congratulations to all the BNFP GWCC students.. its an awesome program. I was where all of you are less than a year ago.. how exciting for all of you. I start Block 4 in March and Graduate in June.. be prepared to devote alot of time to your studies, it goes along pretty fast.. Good luck... and at GWCC they have registered us for every block for us.. we didnt have to do anything but go pick up our box of books at the beginning and go buy our own uniforms they run about 90 for 1 set.. dont buy but 2 sets of the scrubs since you will only wear them 2 times a week for clinical and SIM lab days only ..

YAHOO .. tomorrow is Orientation for US at Gateway .. Block 1

Good Catch... I put October twice instead of putting July ... Sorry.. October GWCC (Gateway) EMCC (Estrella) March GWCC (Gateway) CGCC (Chandler) July GWCC (Gateway) GCC (Glendale) LPN admission block 3 July GWCC (gateway) MCC (mesa)

OK here are what the Banner applications states regarding the Cohorts.... Im not sure how much they change each time. I am in the March 2008 Cohort for Gateway... so this was the application from Oct 2007 October GWCC (Gateway) EMCC (Estrella) March GWCC (Gateway) CGCC (Chandler) October GWCC (Gateway) GCC (Glendale) LPN admission block 3 July GWCC (gateway) MCC (mesa) Also on the application you check which programs interest you.. they said they will put you in which ones are available and what you select if you are selected

Hi Girls... Are we meeting at Starbucks tomorrow at Arizona mills at 10:30am

How about 10:30 this way we arent hitting morning trafffic still :-)

I am at 1-17 and Peoria area... That would probably be about 25-30 min also for me. (so thats halfway for both of us) as long as its earlier in the day so we dont hit that rush hour traffic .. around 12:30 ish.. are we going to meet at like starbucks or something in the mall? I have only been to that mall once? or is there one around there?

The letter said we could pick our books up after Feb 18th.. so you didnt have any troubles getting them early?

6:45- 3:30 pm makes for a very very long day on wednesday and thursday.. but at least getting there we will beat the traffic rush.. I hope leaving at like 5:45 in the morning.. I have never heard of a class at college being that early.
