Hello, Does anyone have any information on the Advanced Placement LPN to RN program for the Maricopa Community Colleges? I am an LPN and will finish up my last semester of prerequisites this Fall. I would love to start Block 3 in the Spring and ...

Actually, let me stop you right there. I am and LPN and the Director at a great assisted living that is absolutely nothing like SpeeDemonRN has described. I have amazing resident with amazing families. Not that every place is as great as mine, but...

Did you ever end up moving to Spokane? My husband and I are both LPN's and are looking to move in the next 6 months or so. I would LOVE any information at all. Thank you so much.

As a graduate of GWCC Fast Track LPN program let me just say that it is the BEST!! It is a hard program, but it really prepares you for the NCLEX. Maricopa Skills was not a good school and that is why it was closed. Be glad that you didn't have th...

Hello, I was wondering which accelerated BSN program you were looking into. I would love to find one. Any info would be great. Thanks.

Hello, This is for chihmom8...If you don't mind sharing...What were your NET scores? mine where Math 97 and Reading 82. Thanks a bunch.

I am planning on getting my LPN before my RN because I need to get a job as soon as possible. But, I want to eventually work L & D, or peds. However, I have noticed that almost all the LPN jobs that I have seen are in LTC facilities. Does anyone ...

Dear arizdolphin, Thank you so much for your post. I am soooo glad to hear from someone who is in the program and get their opinion. You are so right about what you said. I think that I should try to be more positive and I thank you for letting ...

What all is on the HESI? Where do you take it? How much is it?

I didn't think that the HESI was a requirement for block 3...I thought it was just the pre and co rec's.

I just found out late Thursday from a friend who is also starting the program. I called to ask it was confirmed, a letter will be sent out. So, probably Friday it was mailed. He said he would email me also and suprise suprise I never got it. I hav...

:bugeyes:SO, did everyone get the message that the LPN program will now be starting on MAY 22, not May 8?

WOW! what a nightmare. I think I will just go ahead and pay cash. I have 3 kids and NO extra time to waste with all that. I'm sorry you had o go through all that. They would let everyone know that up front.

Has anyone applied to Maricopa Skill Center for the May 8, 2008 start date? What kind of NET scores did you get? Or did anyone else you know get? Or what is the average score necessary to be in the Top 40 scores? Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure if you were talking to me too...but, I am starting Maricopa Skill Center on May 8th. I didn't have to wait at all to get in because they go by the Top 40 NET scores. So, i will graduate in 1 year with an LPN and then start Block 3 righ...

I'm starting May 8th too!! Did you get your letter yet?

Interior Design...now you know why I am going back to school. :chuckle:chuckle:chuckle jk. I love design, but as I have had children I have really developed a passion fo L&D or maybe even peds. Now just seemed like a great time to go back to sc...

I would assume that you would just start in Sept. And from what I've heard this isn't an issue for that start date. Part of the issue is that they are pulling aid from 2 different years, and the clock hour stuff is part of it. I am only applying ...

Sorry, I'm not sure what exactly that all means. But, I filled out my FA for 08-09 and 09-10 back in January. From what they told me they just aren't awarding anyone's until after the deadline for the $1700+.

I can't believe that they just told me that I have to come up with over $1700 in 2 weeks in order to start the program. Like I just have that kind of money laying around? I told them that I have fin aid, but they aren't going to award until 1-2 week...

Congratulations!!! See you there.

Yeah!! I got a phone call today letting me know that I got in for May 8. I'm so excited.

Hi All, I just wanted to say that I got in for May 8th. Anyone else????

Thank you both for the advice. It is much appreciated.

By the end of the week I was told I could expect a phone call. But, who knows. haha
