I attend Union County College in NJ and this is the case as well. We are taught directly from the book. No need to write notes just highlight whats in the book. WE had to take a math pretest wich does not count towards your grade. We also have 4 journals which dont count towards your grade but if you dont do them then you fail. All that counts is the 4 exams and final, which we have to teach ourselves the chapters. Also everything is cramed in such as pharmacology along with basic nursing concepts such as safety and nutrition. going to class is a waste of time. but if you dont show up its not good either. Its really nuts!

im in the program which is 4 semesters long. Its a lot of reading and studying. It goes fast. You need a c average to get into the program in all your prereqs and the first nursing course is only offered in the fall & spring. good luck

Wow! pay is less than $11 before the program? how can one survive in MD on that pay? Man I am disappointed. Im looking to leave NYC but I cant survive on that in MD. the pay after the program is done the pay is not bad. geez ill keep looking thanks for the info!

I noticed this position online. The only thing is you have to commit to 1 year. usually when they attach this it means working conditions are not good! any info from anyone who is familiar with this? By the way it is a training position for CNA's who want to be PCTs they will hire you to start on April and then you begin the training class in Jul-Sept to be a PCT

I decided not to take the test since i was accepted to UCC before I had to take the test but buy the book they recomend. Start practicing your math since youll need it for the test and me dosage calculations once in a program. Also practice your reading comprehension. dont worry so much the more places you apply better chances you have getting in

No im not from CA. But I went to jersey to get into a school. Monroe requires entrance exam and they have very few spots. Try also Boces LPN program. My advice apply to multiple places!

I received my letter for the first clinical PNU190 :yeah:and I have a lot to do before class starts in Jan. anyone else get into the clinical?

Hi I saw a listing for Genesis GNA course and job. Appearantly they are all over MD. Whats the course like and how much is paid during and after the course? thanks in advance.

Ok. I thought to myself this story sounded fishy cause if you cant get anything in ATL theres Savannah, Gastonia etc... I think this woman may have lied and im glad I wasnt the only one thinking this!

I was just reading on the CNN website about a woman in GA who cant find a nurse job down there. She stated it is because of the economy. I thought this was supposed to be a recession proof career. Is this the case all over GA? My goodness we are really in trouble in this country!

I saw on t.v. that there are some students who cant get loans for school. Has anyone experiensed this. Im supposed to start clinicals in Jan. and I dont want any surprises. Any imput would be appreciated.

ill be starting a PCA position in a couple of weeks. Yes nurses wipe tushes too so if u cant deal with as a cna then yeah maybe u should look into something else. I have kids a 7 & 19month old so im used to wiping privates just think about u having a family member in need of care maybe that will help!

Fair Acres in Delaware County offers cna training free of charge as long as u work for them dont know how far u are willing to travel

THANKS! IM going to apply to Monroe college lpn program as well cause i cant be bothered with the waiting!

i was just wondering how come it is so hard to get info for monroe lpn program? it is very expensive and it seems that the people over dont like to give info on the phone> anyone went through their program?

WOW! that is great! but you do have 8 years experience, I wonder if this would be the same rate for a newbie etc.. good luck!

I applied for a nurse support position and they sent me an e-mail stating I need to come for a informational video as part of the hiring proces. what is this about? any info? I really need to leave NYC so I would love to get this position but it sounds like I would be jumping through hoops. is this correct? also what is the pay for PCA's? thanks in advance! P.S. I have a hospital in NY I am waiting to hear from as well so im not sure what to do!

Thank you FIT. I went on the website and see nothing regarding the LPN program but I will call tomorrow to find out. Also I think I may apply for the RN program as I am taking A&P1 this semester and then A&PII in the Winter so hopefully I can apply for the next year program.

I was accepted to their lpn program and I have all the courses such as english, bio1, psych etc. I just need PNU 190 to start and in my accpetance letter it states I have to wait for an invitation letter for PNU 190. Now ive called and left messages for eveyone I could find but noone can tell me if this course is given evey semester and how long it would take to receive such invitation. Can anyone whose been through this have an answer. I technically dont have any required courses to take this semester. Im thinking of taking A&P 1 cause I plan on continuing for my BSN anyways.

Thank you for your help unfortuantely none of these schools start in January. Im going to start looking into the BSN programs. Specifically Barton. How anoying!

Can anyone point me to any LPN programs starting in January anywhere in NC? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

THANKS, I spoke with HR at REX and UNC and they have positions available for this under different titles. We'll see what happens.

Nurse2bTracy - I was accepted to an LPN program in NJ and I am going to definitely call them Monday to find out about the PCA training. Unfortunately its not posted on their website.

I wanted to find out if there are a lot of opportunities for phlebotomy in the RTP area? I have been accepted to a lpn program in NJ but my hubby may be relocated to the RTP area next month. I was going to do the phlebotomy here anyways but now im wondering if its a skill that I can transfer to NC? I went on some of the hospital websites such as Wakemed and Rex etc... and I saw a couple of openings for jobs asking for phlebotomy certification but they are different titles. So would it be easy to get a job or should I look into something else? Please help!

many have had this same issue with CUNY. All those other schools you listed are also tough to get into but you can certainly try to take over your science courses and try to get into one of those schools. On the other hand I know many who faced similar issue and have gone to private schools such as Pace, LIU etc... If you can swing their tuition you may want to consider them. Keep in mind CUNY has long wait list for most of their programs so if you wish to still get into one of their programs I suggest you start retaking your science courses ASAP. GOOD LUCK! youll make it!
