  4. Gurnick LVN program... Me=enrolling update

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, rude indifference is a great desciption of how I felt too. You'd think that if they're asking someone to pay 26K for a LVN (!) program PLUS 1600 for ONE pre-req class, they'd make a little more...

    collegegirl209 replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is a pre-req class that everyone has to take. Essential Medical Bioscience My heart almost stopped when she told me the price, like $800 over the next 2 month is do-able. Ya, right. That's why I'm...

  8. Anyone Starting Gurnick Academy Concord Campus For January 2011?

    collegegirl209 replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I thought fin aid would work out for me too... but I just found out that they want $1600 for the ONE pre-req class. No way, not going to happen. I wrote all about it on another post:...

    collegegirl209 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This should be my last post regarding Gurnick. Enough is enough. :-) I finally made it down to this place. This is my accounting of my experiences with Gurnick Academy of the Medical Arts: 1.)...

  10. Anyone Starting Gurnick Academy Concord Campus For January 2011?

    collegegirl209 replied to Christine2009's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Ok, so Sallie Mae is out... LOL. There's no way that I'm even close to get near 57K, so I'll figure that fin aid will cover it. Thx for the

  12. BSN vs. ADN

    collegegirl209 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I went to the informational mtg. they had at CSU Stanislaus and it really made some things clear to me. Also, I'm going to aim for that program and not apply for the ADN program at MJC. Reasons: 1.)...

    collegegirl209 replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here, at CSU Stanislaus (for BSN) they use a point system: points awarded for GPA, experience, last 9 units taken at CSU Stan, bi-lingual, etc. I spoke with one of the dept. chairs and she said that...

  14. I need to know... Do Gurnick LVN get hired easily?

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in California Nursing

    I decided not to inquire further at Gurnick here in Modesto. Just too "iff-y". Couldn't get any straight answers out of them. By the time I finished their LVN program, I could have been in CSU...

  15. BSN vs. ADN

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  18. I need to know... Do Gurnick LVN get hired easily?

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in California Nursing

    I would bet all the money I have in the bank that the courses at Gurnick will not transfer into MJC's or CSU Stanislaus's RN bridge programs. I'll find out on Thurs. when I go to Stan State and speak...

  19. I found a good way to bridge to RN.

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gurnick is $28,000 for the LVN... if they get a RN bridge, I wonder how much that will be. Might not be too far behind Carrington. I called Gurnick yesterday (Modesto location) and asked them 1.) What...

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in California Nursing

    So, he was able to get hired as a LVN but in order to apply to the RN program... he had to complete those extra classes? I am mostly concerned with the reputation of Gurnick. Taking a few more classes...

    Can you transfer Gurnick's courses to MJC or CSU Stan? I have 2 CSU Stan instructors looking into that issue for me but haven't heard back yet. They've never heard of Gurnick, or at least aren't...

    collegegirl209 replied to collegegirl209's topic in California Nursing

    You're right. I'm going to stick with the Modesto Jr. College or CSU Stanislaus route. Better rep and safer. :-) Will probably take a short phlebotomy course while in school, just to get employment in...
