I'm interested in obtaining more information about the program from former students before making a financial investment. How is the training and clinical portion? How is the job search process with student services? When looking online it stated that you get a certificate for PCT from the school and can sit for the certification exam. Do you become a CNA (take the certification exam) as part of the process or would I have to pay to take my CNA exam separately after completion of the program. I ask so that in the event I can't find work as a PCT I can still work as a CNA and not just a NA because I'm not certified. All information is greatly appreciated. If there are other schools you'd recommend please feel free to share them with me. I like to keep my options open but I'm also in need of something affordable.

Do they offer the pre requisites there or do you have to take them elsewhere. I'm interested in bridging over to RN but my school isn't credit based. We don't take BIO or CHEM. any info would be greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks for your input everyone, I really needed to know I wasn't the only one who's had these thoughts. One day at a time :-)

I began nursing school in September and I must say I'm unsure of my ability to see this through. I've worked really hard to get to where I am taking nearly a year to do so. I just have a lot bearing down on me all of a sudden and I don't feel like I'm even there most of the time when I'm in class. I'm not sure what to do because I refuse to quit but I don't want to waste any time either. Has anyone else felt like this before?

Thanks for sharing I have the same issue and I cry almost every night. I just keep telling myself its ok and to just try my best. Ill see how I feel after exams next week.

I start Tuesday as well, I can't wait to start I'm getting bored lol. I'm going full time M-F 8 to 4 so between school and my kids I guess I'll get my life back next year :-). Best of luck to you and everyone who's starting next week.

There's only math, reading, vocabulary on the cnet. You can order the study guide from the cnet nurse website. The math is pretty basic there's no trigonometry or geometry. Just fractions, decimals and stuff like that. The study guide really helps when it comes to the vocabulary words you need to study. You need to know how to spell them properly and know the definitions among other things.

New York City LPN program $2500.00 all inclusive

Wow I thought you only had to explain convictions, you have to explain arrests too :-(

One thing that brings me comfort is knowing that no one knows it all no matter how smart they may be. I had one in my prep class who was so much smarter than everyone else yet she failed both entrance exams after prep. Good thing no one feed off of all the false information she was giving out. The only problem I have with KIA's are the ones who always want to challenge you and prove themselves better than you. In the end we are here to be educated and give our best to be the best. So if there's any place to be a KIA it's in school but only if you really know it. Just don't forget to admit when you're wrong and accept it, instead of trying to prove your wrong answer right.

I'm having an issue myself. I actually need to work and I can only realistically do this on weekends since my school schedule will be 8-4 M-F. I still have my responsibilities at home that can't be neglected. I'll leave it in the hands of the divine and hope I'll be shown a way through this. Best of luck and blessings to you all :-)

That's great to hear :-) you should invest in a Teas study guide, it helped me a lot. I can't make any recommendations about the compass I've never taken that one before. Best of luck to you :-)

Please let us know what they say :-)

No problem. Keep in mind that since AMG hasn't been around very long (I believe a year or two) you would have to cover your tuition with loans since they don't qualify to be paid with financial aid yet. When I called earlier this year I was also informed that they have their own entrance exam that they use, so if you have any Tabe, Teas, or Cnet scores it won't matter. They also have a testing fee in addition to their application fee which is about 115.00 if I remember correctly. Give them a call maybe something can be worked out or even better maybe they offer financial aid now :-) I hope this helps.

Also the school is approved by the department of education for their LPN program. For a listing of other schools visit the office of professions website. http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/nurse/
