I am hoping to apply in March for the LPN program at Gateway. I dont expect to be admitted for Fall but I would love to make it in for Spring 2010. (probably fat chance there too) I am wondering how long you had to wait, those of you already in th...

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 n...

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...

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 appli...

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....

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 ...

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. ...

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

I am considering going to this school since it is not too far from where I live. I am wondering how long the wait is? I am not a resident of Pinal County since I am just inside Maricopa County. So I am also concerned because I am not a resident th...

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

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 wit...

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.

Does anyone know what the prerequisites are for the LPN program? I know you need to be a CNA first but are there other classes? I am going to probably attend Gateway. Also has anyone attended the LPN classes in the summer? Do they ever offer them...

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 semest...

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.

You cannot volunteer to be a nurse. Because of insurance and liability reasons a hospital will not allow it. You can volunteer but you will not be doing work as an RN. But volunteering will at least keep you in a hospital setting and networking.

Good luck!!!!!!

To be honest I had started this class through RIO and had to drop it. For me science classes are too hard online. I need the one on one interaction with the instructor and students. Overall I am very disappointed by the Rio Salado system. The in...

I need to get several immunizations. I need the hep B vaccine, tetanus, etc. to apply for the LPN program. I am wondering where you may have gone to get yours and approximately how much you may have paid. Thanks for your help. P.S. I am an east ...

Im not saying waiting is fair, but new RN grads need to set their expectations. People in healthcare have had an easy time looking for jobs. Times have changed. You have got to set your expectations and plan on taking new opportunities that may not ...

So are they hiring nurses in Mexico? just kidding. I hope it doesnt turn into people not getting care (illegal or not) I think this will turn around a bit. Although it will be slow going. It took a while to get into this mess and it will take a ...

I am almost done at RSAA and I feel that I can now give my two cents. So they never got very organized. In fact they have lost a lot of peoples paperwork. The instructor left a lot to be desired. She would jump from topic to topic and never fully...
