I checked the status of my application on the website and it says applicant review...I don't know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing and I haven't received any news or email regarding an interview. Hoping I still get something from them! Any...

I also got this pop up this am! I got shut off at like 120 so I was sure i had definitely bombed it!! Here's to hoping that this is legit and we all passed!!!

Has anyone heard word they've been accepted to Kaplan's ADN program in San Diego for the Jan 2010 start? Just found out today that I'm in! Looking forward to hearing from future classmates!

Start dates or those info sessions they have before you apply? Info sessions are I think weekly. There are three start dates a year. Around the 20th of Jan, the 15th or so of May and then after Labor day in September. I am currently in the program an...

Nope, no questions since I'm already in the program :) and don't need to worry about it. I just wanted to make sure everyone one here was getting correct information on the admission process.

Yeah I would definitely double check with your rep because as recently as this past Septembers term I know of someone who was not accepted due to her urine being too dilute in the drug test results and obviously her tests were done prior to acceptanc...

B217 I don't know who your rep was but you absolutely have to do the background screen and drug test prior to admission. That is one if the criteria they use in acceptance. Also I've never heard of their early acceptance period. I'm currently in the ...

An LVN is a vocational program not a degree program, so an LVN program at any school would not have credits which you can use to obtain a degree in the future. From what I've heard it is very difficult to find jobs as an LVN. My friend got her LVN li...

Honestly, above all, Kaplan is a for-profit school and a lot of the admissions reps are skeezy and will tell you anything. The admissions dept really has no say on acceptance into the program since selection is done by the director of nursing, they c...

The RN program is only offered at the San Diego campus. I'm currently in my second semester there. The admissions process is based on a point system so you do not necessarily need 6 months medical experience, but the admissions reps will definitely ...

Maybe look for a flexible daycare center in someones home. This is my first semester so my schedule isn't too crazy and I guess I'm lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) to have my clinical on a Saturday in the evening so my husband is a...

Actually, let me clarify my bit on the pre-reqs. There are actually no pre-reqs to get into Kaplans nursing program. The classes I listed are required to go on to your core nursing classes. If you haven't taken any pre-reqs you can take them there. Y...

They do collect $20 when they enroll you but it is refundable if you are not accepted. The pre-reqs are English Composition, Sociology, Psych, College Algebra, Anatomy and Physiology. If you've taken a higher Math or Psych or anything they may credit...

Just a clarification to liberty bells post...spouses are not entitled to BAH while the service member is still on active duty. Don't want to get anyone's hopes up with that one.

Ohlone college is also lottery

As far as vocational schools offering an RN program, look up Unitek in Fremont. I've been hearing a lot about it recently and I looked and it us recognized by the CA BRN. They have a 2 step ADN Program where it looks like they make you go through the...

I've also heard others say in previous threads that they would not be accepted if they'd done most of their pre-reqs, but as I am starting in two weeks I know that just isn't the case. It may have once been an admissions tactic to get you to take ano...

Mareeh77 did you say you get one week off between semesters? How long are semesters anyways? I start Kaplan with Emilynn09 this Jan, and I too have gotten really vague answers especially from my admissions rep.

So I'm starting an accelerated nursing program this January, and I'm super excited but scared at the same time! I have a six month old and no close family or friends I can rely on for help. Am I completely insane and setting myself up for failure? An...

Thanks for all the support and well wishes!

I was told your medical experience needs to be within the past 2 years. I was also told that if you weren't accepted into the program you'd have to redo your background and drug screen. I'm not sure if that applies to your TEAS scores also, so I woul...

sorry to hear blondiebabe. maybe call your rep to see if you were selected as an alternate.

when are you scheduling your meeting with the DON? I wonder what it's all about? Oh and did your letter say conditional? Does that mean the DON can say nevermind I lied, you aren't accepted? Hopefully, it just refers to the background and drug screen...

maybe call your advisor to "check on the status of your application" so your not playing the waiting game. when i would call before just to ask questions, i was told that everyone is busy and that they're short staffed and what not. just call, it won...

I didn't do too wonderful on the TEAS, I got an 83%. I blame it on my then 4 month old who only let me get in about 30 minutes of studying in a span of about 4 days! I didn't have any medical experience but I am a Kaplan alumni, I took their CNA clas...
