I just finished one week; going on second. So far so good. This is my first job as an LPN so the dosing is brand new but chemical dependency is not. I thik I am going to like it. It is taking a bit to wrap my head around changing one addiction to...

I will enter Block 3. Still have three classes to take, Bio 201, 202, and Algebra. Just started them so will end in May. Enough time to get in Gateway in July. Since the LPN program didn't have any pre-reqs, got right in and did some pre-reqs dur...

Hi, I work as a HUC for about 5 years. I really enjoy my job (at times). I started in the ER which is totally different than the floors. Very, very easy in ER. Floors are hard. Now it is great experience towards your nursing degree. You will la...

Just my two cents.....I just graduated with LPN from Maricopa Skill Center. Took some pre-reqs while going. Will sit for NCLEX in a couple weeks and work in home health for the next year. Work on P/T basis at $40.00/hr and keep F/T job which will ...

You better believe it!! We all have to stop and tell ourselves that often......As someone said here - it's like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes you just have to throw up:eek:

I don't know what I'm going to do. Had plans to finish pre-reqs by October but dropped my 201 because Block B was so overwhelming. Also, our graduation was moved to January. There are some very unhappy people now in Block C. I'm just trying to re...

You'll get in urstrulii......don't worry. Did they say when they would notify you that your application is complete ...or did they already do that?

I'll have to check out Southmountain and see what they have. I'm right with you on getting into accelerated spot. The school will help you out also with that and remember we are a Gateway school so there are always spots there. The problem that we...

Hey Smileyperson, Welcome to Block A. Block A allowed me time to get a couple pre-reqs out of the way. I still need 201 and 202 and just can't seem to find any (except Rio online). Block C will end in January so it looks like I am not going to ma...

Hey JessLP, You should have no problems in Block A. Teachers are great and since you are a CNA, that really helps. Good luck. If you have any pre-req's to do, now is the time to get them out of the way. Block B will hit you like a brick wall!!

I took 092 during block A and 205 during block B. Block B is really time consuming and a lot of studying but I made it. I started 201 a few weeks ago and just can't do it anymore. This program is really demanding of time. As long as you can put your ...

Hi cmi528, sorry to take so long to answer. There are no prereqs for this program. That is one of the positive things about the program. As for the scheduling, it may change but Block A is m-f 8-3. We did get days off here and there but it was re...

I don't know how to pm. Forget the A now. You are pretty much done with him. Ask for the secretary "J" or the acting director of the nursing program "D". Call the school and ask for the nursing dept.

Our start up date was delayed. The secretary should know. Call J. and ask and tell her you need to schedule your work. To be honest, I am not sure when we start Block C. We have a date on our calendar but you have to be very flexible. Things are...

Starting Block C on the 8th or 9th. Hang in there. Things are confusing but it is well worth it in the end. Keep focused on your goal and stick with the positive people. This program is easy to get caught up in all the negative bs that goes on......

Sorry to hear that. Since we were together than I probably know who you are talking about. Not sure when you left but things are much,much better. Were you there for the big meeting with director? Things really changed after that. The rest, yes ...

I don't think 88% is so bad either because everyone does test differently. I think the State stepped in because they were in the high 90's. I am so stressed just thinking about it. After our math test I wanted to cry. Now we have to score 100% on...

Does anyone know about the BSN program for those with a non-nursing BA? I will be done with LPN soon.

blkcind, I cannot be specific on this forum however, you can talked to staff in person. They are aware of the issue and are open to discussion. Yes the scores went down. I cannot remember what was said today but the pass rate was somewhere around ...

Oh my, I really got edited because I used names. Sorry about that. Long story short, talk to the director of the nursing program. She and other instructors are great.

hopefulfutureLPN, I would suggest you talk with scheduling staff personally. Someone from the program came in to class today and discussed what happened with to cause the changes in the schedule. No one was happy with the changes we were given yest...

There are a couple students who work nights and come right from work to school. Sometimes they fall asleep and other times we are only there for a couple hours. There is so much homework and it took me a good month to get organized but we were allo...

I'm in Block B. From my understanding they will give us the HESI before we are allowed to graduate. It's part of the program here so don't worry. Things are not as frustrating once you get past the admission and financial aid stuff. The program is go...

I took the same class. If I can do it, so can you......believe me. The tests are not that difficult. Study your test and especially your essays. They are identical on the mid-term and final. The instructors will give you liberty on the test bec...
