I know! This is great! I thought I'd never find anyone that would be attending the same school. I am super excited. I can't believe that orientation is finally just around the corner.

Yes! I'm starting on 12/2 in LV. I am super excited as well!

LOL...that is great! I'm sure they are very overwhelmed. Hope you guys are doing great...send us a sign!!

Normally in the accelerated LVN program, you can expect to take five classes in the first semester and they are usually all lecture classes. I'm sure people do work, but it would be difficult to work a lot of hours since you need so much study time and good sleep!

Hello All! How is everyone's first week going so far?

I think it may have been estimated for the entire program.

There will always be discouraging moments here and there. Nursing school is difficult, but you are doing well in class and your instructor states that you are doing well in the clinicals so far, so I would definately stick it out. There are so many bridges to cross in becoming a nurse. You've already crossed some, which some people do not even get that chance. Keep it going and try to build up your confidence! You'll do well!!

Truly, you are the only one that can answer that question. Having nervous feelings in clinicals is normal. You just need to be confident to get through it. If you honestly have the desire and drive to become a nurse, then by all means stick with it. I wish you the best of luck!!!

Ashlie - Thanks so much for posting that info. It's a different letter just as I thought.

YAY!!! Finally! What does it say?? Do you mind just sharing a couple of sentences..like maybe the first two. I'm just trying to compare it to a letter I got.

Ashlie - What you said about the drug screen makes a lot of sense. They may send an official one after the drug screen with orientation information and other instructions. I am very curious of how this pre-acceptance letter is written. Can someone please share when they receive it? Congrats to all of you!

OMG!!! That is so awesome!! Congrats to you!!!!

This was at the Las Vegas location. Maybe they do things differently at the CA locations. First you take the critical thinking test, then the HESI, then if you pass, you fill out the enrollment agreement, which I believe includes the background check, then off to financial aid. I would think that the next step here would be the random drug screen if you were to be accepted. I got this letter about a week after my enrollment agreement/application was submitted. I thought maybe this was just a general letter that they sent to all that have applied for the nursing program or perhaps any other program at their school and was just wondering if anyone else has received this type of letter.

Oh I know. It is so hard to wait. I applied for a different location at Kaplan. By any chance, did you get a letter not too long after you completed your application that said...Congratulations on your decision to attend Kaplan College and welcome to our school! ?

Gook luck to all of you! I really hope all of you get your letters this week! If anyone received an acceptance letter already or when they do, would you mind sharing it?
