hey cutie! I'm sorry for the situation that you are in. oh man, i hope things are better when i get there. i know your instructor even before kaplan. she is a really cool person outside of campus (smart, competent, cheery disposition) i dunno, the should've, could've, would've doesn't matter anymore. just finish and as our second semester instructor would say, "make those six figures." haha.... i guess i'll see you on campus.

Hello, Cutie is correct in that you have to pass each semester with a 75% average. Also, that if you fail a semester you have to pay to retake it. realistically though, I don't know of any school where you can retake a class for free. To me, school is school, whether it is a community college, state/university, or private post secondary education. these classes transfer to kaplan university and university of phoenix. That shouldn't even be an issue. Cutie started in the old quarter curriculum. Everyone that i've spoken to in the ADN program agree the structure and grouping of classes is awkward and confusing. I am, and everyone after me will be in a new semester program. the class breakdown and schedule is well organized, straight forward and easy to follow. When Cutie stated that all RN programs are impacted, she is totally correct, even national university. you have to apply for the following year at national and you have to pay more out of pocket. kaplan is becoming that way too. only the top 45 are accepted per semester. bottom line, how long do you want to wait? I was like Cutie, i thought to myself, "the sooner i got in, the sooner i finish". It's all on how you make of it. Im not representing kaplan college, i just don't want you to research forever and not end up anywhere. everyone is going to have an opinion because our situations are different. my educational experience at kaplan is different from Cutie's. To me, an RN license is an RN license.

Hello, I am also a Kaplan student who started in May and went straight into second semester. Finding a job is not going to be an issue. Don't even worry about that. Many of my peers at work are Maric/Kaplan graduates. Others are guaranteed positions upon graduation. I think the only real issue, for most, is cost and time-management. As you know cost is expensive from start to finish. About ten grand less if you have all pre-requisites and a shorter length of stay. Honestly, class is real straight forward. The big thing is reading. You have to make time to read and read! If you can make time to read and understand what you read, you'll be an RN in 16 months. If you have to combine pre-requisites, then you have to do more reading, but, you'll be an RN in 20 months. That's it. Just take that first step and before you know it, you're an RN! Good luck in your endeavors.
