As for finding the application: Go to the gatewacc.edu home page. Click on the Nursing link on the left side in the navigation bar. On the right side of the different nursing programs at Gateway you'll see some other links. One of them is the fast...

Hey this is a funny thread. I've never had major surgery or heard stories about what I've said (though I think I'd find it funny so yes I think I'd want to know). I only had oral (wisdom tooth extraction) surgery and it was the coolest experience t...

No I think it's only fall and spring semester-starts. I'm sorry.

The LPN Fast Track Spring 2009 program info has been posted at Gateway CC - and they have both a day and evening program! Info is here: http://nursing.gatewaycc.edu/NR/rdonlyres/2A190B3A-B5B3-4E07-83F0-99A827E2A360/0/AdmitPacketSpring09.pdf

YIPPEE SKIPPEE I passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I'm on my way to being a nurse!!! YAY heheh Off to do job searching! Any good ideas for the Gilbert/Chandler/Mesa area greatly appreciated!

The evening class was great. I think we had a good cohesive group of students. If you want specific information you can PM me.

I wonder if you have something in your settings that blocks PMs? Or if your mailbox is full maybe you can't send out/receive?

Yes me too - I tried PMming you and it didn't go through. :)

That's good information. :) Thanks for sharing that. Did you work any OT? Have you changed jobs since then? Did you have any prior medical experience?

Do you know how much experience they need for that rate?

In speaking with one of the staff at RSAA - I asked him what a new CNA with no prior medical experience could expect to make and his answer was just about "either side of 12/hr." So I've been guessing that's what it'll be at first. Most agencies th...

You and me both! I actually lost a lot once and put it back on. Bad me. :) But I am planning to go back on my diet that I did well on back then. It was a low carb/low fat high protein that I followed w/a doctor's supervision. No real sets of sc...

At least in my experience, I think in your interview before you get offered/accept an offer, you can discuss salary rates and you can decide from there if you want to accept the position. When you tell your boss is up to you. I work in computers rig...

Awesome!!! ME TOO!!!! I'm so glad to hear someone else is taking the class when I am. :) Nice to meet you! :)

In the nursery where I volunteer one night a week they have a small-ish nursery. They do the billi-lights in there, antibiotics, and then "babysit" the babies whose moms want to sleep. They can only have X number of babies, though (ratio to # of me...

Well uhm not really sure how a raise could be a bad thing? :) But congratulations! I'm not even getting the full 4% I've come to expect each year at my job. And I've been with the same company over 7 years. Not in nursing yet though. Sorry can'...

I am going because I want out of my job as sooooooon as possible, and getting my CNA gets me going quickest - I think though I'll try going for the LPN Fast Track at Gateway in the Spring next year, and then work as an LPN until I can get through the...

I have an add on question to this: if you're working OT is that counted after 36 hours or after 50 hours?

So the LPN Fast Track is still 2 semesters if all the information I'm reading is correct, right? But basically you can get the LPN portion w/o needing all of the pre-reqs BIO, MAT, and CHM finished? How extreme are the classes for the LPN portion -...

I just signed up for RSAA today - I'm so excited to get started! (24 Days April 21st) I am doing the evening class (M-Thurs 5-10). The total tution is 850 - the state test is 85 and the only thing separate (aside from some scrub pants) - but they do...

All I can think is OMG are you serious??? People DO these things??? I think I need to pick my jaw up off the desk now...

ok i know i'm not a nicu person yet - not even in nursing school (going to start pre-reqs this summer/fall etc). so please forgive me if i'm intruding... but a few weeks ago when i was volunteering in the nursery (every sunday night!) there was a ba...

I think if you have your CNA certification it won't matter at that point. But at least that's what I'd understand. But maybe if you're working as a CNA you could be flexible with your work schedule and get into the day program. :) Would you mind ...

well - i think if you look on the program listing for the fast track you'll see it's an "or" situation: either have you already have your cna (which i would assume is the certification) or take the cna program @ one of the community colleges. but ma...
