Hello there, I am hoping to apply for the LPN program in the Spring 2010 semester. Does anyone have any idea when they will be putting them online? I checked the site and fall 2009 is still up. I tried to email and call an advisor and of course no one has gotten back to me. TIA

I am in the same boat as you. Hopefully I will have it all together this time around. Good luck to us getting in :wink2:

I am currently volunteering here with the hopes of someday getting a job. I have not been there long but I really like it. Do they allow volunteers to access the job database the same way they do the employees? If you dont mind me asking, how did you get your position once you established yourself as a volunteer? Did you go directly to HR?

Do you think it matters what day and time you submit your application for the LPN program? Is it like a first come first served? I am applying in the Fall. I have heard some debate on hear that it didnt matter but others said it did.

You can use the RSAA fingerprints and send them into DPS.. I will warn you that the people at RSAA usually are not experienced with fingerprinting and they may get rejected by DPS. As long as you paid your fee and sent them to dps with the DPS application you should be fine. (as long as your fingerprints are acceptable) The board of nursing requires seperate prints and application for your CNA license. You need DPS clearance card for the community college.

Send in your DPS fingerprint clearance card now. The one that is done for your CNA has nothing to do with the DPS card you need for Gateway. It takes a while to get this through DPS and with budget cuts it will probably take them longer to process. I think you have time and this is totally doable. The exam for the CNA class is really close to when you finish the class. I did it through RSAA also. I am in the same spot you are and need to figure out when the Fall deadline will be. Good luck!

Ditto on the previous posters. I spent a lot of money on extras. Although I did find the flash cards helpful. (for A&P) Also if you are going to gateway you can reserve anatomy models in the tutoring center. This helped me tremendously. When you do your tests on the anatomy, you will be looking at actual models so it helps to practice on them. I cant say much for chemistry as I had to drop it last semester because my workload was too much. From what I did get from the class it is a lot of conversions.

LOL You sound like me my first time around in College. I avoided chemistry and biology but now they are some of my favorite classes. (okay biology but not chem) Which level bio are you taking? As for chem, I say brush up on your algebra skills. Maybe buy an older used text book and start looking through that.

Maricopa needs a hospital so badly!!! Especially with that deadly highway 347. Hopefully it wont take too long.

Anyone who is in this program, were you able to work at all? I am hoping to apply in September but I am not sure if I can swing it. If you did work: 1. Was it full time or part time? 2. What type of work did you do? Thanks for your help

Thanks, I checked that website I was not sure if it was really accurate. Especially when one of the rating questions was "is this teacher hot?" If any one wants to PM me that is cool too.

I will be taking Chem 130 in the Fall. I have not decided where to take it yet. I will either be attending Gateway, Phx College or Mesa CC. I tried taking this last fall but I had to drop it because my class load was too heavy and I didnt jive with my instructor. I am an evening student because I work full time during the day. So if you have an instructor that you love or that made it easier to learn chem, reccommend them. Thanks for your input

The LPN application deadline is coming up. I heard that this is based on a lottery system. So no matter when or what day you turn in your application, you have the same chance as anyone. Is this true? I also heard that leftover apps from last semester are given spots first. Let me know what your experience was.

Congrats!!! When did you apply for the program? I am getting ready to apply so I am trying to gauge when I might get in.
