I recommend filling this up https://www.helenefuld.edu/contact-us/ and typing in your concern so you will have another person email you back. This is what I did since June LOL.

I feel you there sis in terms of trying to get personal life situated as we try to dive in this rigorous program. I've just pestered --------------- a few minutes ago who then replied that she will send me the information via email. Email them everyday. I feel that this is the only way so far. Will keep you ladies updated. I am 100% sure that you are part of the August class and it is just them who are lagging.

Currently my boat: Received a congratulations email from ----------------- plus a link to pay the enrollment deposit. I paid it. Emailed her back, three times LOL, asking about why I haven't received anything by mail (because ---------------- said so) about the August class and how someone else said it will be by email. On my receipt email, I saw -----------------'s email who also works in admission and also asked her why I am getting a congratulations email when I haven't done the prerequisites yet. No emails back yet. This is insane. LOL August is creeping out and I just need to know if I should quit my job (depending on the hours) or not LOL!

I believe I emailed you the details personally. I've pestered 3 different people today about this possible mistake since I need the information for the August class and I do not know why they are lagging. Do they want students or not?

Current update: I received an email stating a "congratulations for passing the TEAS and " and the whole thing about the $100 acceptance fee. Apparently I completed the necessary requirements.. but I emailed them back because according to their site, the $100 fee is for AFTER finishing AND passing the required pre-requisite courses (chem/math and clinical skills) that EVERYONE has to do. I don't intend to test out of it. So now I am waiting again to get my question answered.

Agreed, it would be interesting if that's online! Haha. Any of you ladies who will potentially start the prerequisite course are working at the moment?

Good morning ? I also took the TEAS on May 8th. I am also at the same boat as you. At first I was told, when I passed the TEAS, that I will be expecting something in the MAIL in June. July came so I followed up by using their "contact us" form on their website. Another person emailed me congratulating me for passing the TEAS with a breakdown of my scores and that I will be receiving information about the prerequisite courses. So! I emailed back to confirm if this is by mail or EMAIL. Yesterday I got an email stating that it will be by EMAIL. So I emailed this morning asking what is the latest I should expect it because it is kinda cutting it close in August and it would just be nice to know if it is online, in person-- whatever LOL! I hope this helps! Maybe we are on the same boat. Stay safe!

Nope. A few days ago I was sent an email of my TEAS scores because I inquired via their website and the person said that an admission person will follow up on info. So Im not sure whats going on anymore. Did you?

Thank you! Also keep in touch! It would be nice to know someone in the same cohort. :)

I took my TEAS and passed on 05/08/2020 and I was told that I will be hearing about the next steps in June. I hope to get the information about the prerequisite courses soon!

Hi, I am currently awaiting the packet for my next steps (their two prerequisite courses...) since I passed my TEAS on 05/08/2020. Following this thread!

Aww, did they at least cashed your $150 out?

I waited about 5 weeks to have my $150 cashed by bvnpt for my license after submitting my papers. I am really wondering how long it took for them to put your name in the bvnpt online verification site. the wait is driving my crazy.

I took the NCLEX-PN May 2 and so far I have the good pop up.. Really hoping that it is true. The wait is agonizing!

I am starting my orientation tomorrow! I enjoyed my CNA class a lot and have the heart to assist the elders. However, I do need tips! I heard that it might take me awhile to get used to the job and I know that even if I end up having body pains.. I don't want to quit! I would love as many tips as I can. Thank you!

Thank you for the replies, everyone! It definitely encouraged me. You all are so right about body mechanics and how awesome a lot of short people are in the facility I am doing my clinicals in. I wasn't as weak as I thought too :)

I am currently doing a 24 day course in a school called "International Health Group" at San Diego, California. My state exam is on November 18 and the school has a very good passing rate.. It requires a lot of reading to do on your spare time.. and that takes care of the written part of the state exam. You just have to be responsible in independent reading and do your best at clinicals. I have an EMT in my class who needed a CNA license to work on floor.. and he was the best in class. He was able to pick up skills pretty well. I am sure you can too. It's fast paced but you'll still learn. I am confident that with your experience, you'll be able to get through it. :) Mine was 5 days, 8 hours a day. Sometimes Saturday and Clinicals and Theory varies. Still an enjoyable experience.

The topic title said so.. And if you are, were you able to work OK as a CNA? I am currently doing the clinicals for my CNA course. I am 19 but I was told to look around.. 13-16. I'm also small (5 ft) and quite thin.. However, I tell myself many times to not let this get in the way because I am an aspiring nurse and becoming a CNA is a first step for me.. I love what I do. I am able to get up a resident but I can't help but feel sad when the other CNAs seem to get scared that I am handling their patient. But I always do my best everyday and would ask for help when needed. Always. I guess,.. I need motivation and tips. I wanted to work as a CNA part time as I further my studies.. It is hard but at the same time I find it very rewarding. It makes me feel great that's why I look forward to clinicals. Nursing is really something I had been wanting to do since I was young and I don't want to get discouraged because of how I am physically, if that makes sense. Sorry for this very bad explanation but I am hoping to meet other aspiring nurses who can relate.
