Thanks. PN is practical nurse aka LPN (licensed practical nurse) I believe. That is what I assumed from my brief conversation with the admin rep. :)

Welllll, I called today but they would not give out any detailed information over the phone such as program details or cost You know I really don't understand that and drives me nuts...anyway when speaking with the admission rep she asked if I was currently a PN. I am not a PN and she stated that in order to get into the Assoc Nursing Program I would need to complete the PN program first and was I still interested? If I am interested I would need to come in to speak with someone if not there was nothing more she could discuss. Anyway, reminded me of some sort of "big" sales....get you in and try to sell their program which, I am just guessing, is probably expensive. Just a guess don't know for sure. I hope that is helpful. Maybe someone else that has actually been to the information session with the admission rep could shed more light? If you hear of any other programs would love to know as I am always searching. Thanks!!

Hi, I am sorry I can't answer your question but I went to the website as well and noticed it was formerly known as the Virginia Career Institute. I don't know if that helps but I would love more information as well. I will try to call tomorrow. I will let you know if I am able to get more info.

thank you tishial. I will keep you posted as I am hoping for more info next week!!!

Hi thanks for the information tishial. I am glad to hear all is going well in summer . did the summer go through a lot of alternates do you know. As mentioned in an earlier post, I am an alternate and I was curious as to how that really worked.... I will be attending the orientation in July as an alternate and doing everything to prepare the physicals, titers and all uniform ordering (Of course after reading your post I will be buying a med dosage workbook or something to practice just in case) I already called and not much definitive info given . oh well I will sit patiently until orientation and hope for the best and hope for more information in July.

]I was accepted as an alternate for the Fall 09 at JSRCC. I was just curious if anyone has any information on the process or probability of actually getting in as an alternate. Any info is greatly appreciated :)
