Thanks for the reply! :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks so much! Wow that must have been quite a challenge for you to have a newborn in your first semester! That's impressive!

I was thinking that discriminating based on pregnancy would be illegal, and I also checked the college's equal opportunity policy and it included pregnancy in the protected groups. Thanks for the response, it's encouraging!! :)

That is a very good point. I already do have pretty bad nausea so I do have to think about that as well. I do have the option of postponing my final semester until next year. I really want to graduate on time but I would definitely rather postpone than be dismissed. What do you think you would do? Thanks so much.

Our clinicals haven't been super fast paced either. Our first semester was physically demanding because we were doing CNA work and transporting patients. I personally think I would be fine to participate as long as I don't have any complications. I just hope that the school is cooperative with pregnant students. I did read the equal opportunity statement for my college and it clearly states that it does not discriminate in acceptance or access to any program due to pregnancy! So that's encouraging. Thank you so much for responding :)

I know I have my handbook somewhere in my boxes of nursing books lol. That's great advice, thanks so much for responding!

My fiancé and I just found out last night that I am unexpectedly pregnant. I estimate that I'm about 5 weeks, which would put my due date a little over a month after my expected graduation. I'm terrified! It was not planned, but we aren't okay with termination or adoption. We want our baby. Now I am so scared that this will be a problem at school. Will they allow me in clinicals when I'm 7-8 months pregnant? I feel like it would be wrong to not allow me to complete school for being pregnant but Id imagine there will be things in clinical that my doctor would not want me doing in the third trimester. Has anyone gone through this? Any advice? I'm scared to talk to the school about it. Thanks!

I'm sure you got accepted, right?? :)

As long as you do well on the TEAS you should be fine. Applications are due on June 1st and everyone got their letters on June 24. I was accepted to the LPN program at the tech school and I was holding off enrolling until I heard back from ACCC. The LPN program was my back up plan. I didn't really consider applying to any other community colleges because 1) most schools only accept students from their own county to selective programs and 2) I would have to pay out of county rates $$$

I applied for the Fall 2014 class and I am currently attending :) I LOVE it, but it is INTENSE. We have lecture for 2 hours on Mondays and Thursdays and lab for 8 hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays until clinicals start mid-October. I'm not sure how many people applied, but there are 63 people in our class. I got an 85 on the TEAS and had A's in English, Psych and Soc and an A- in Anatomy. Based on conversations with classmates, the lowest TEAS score I've heard was a 78 and everyone I've spoken to has had A's in every pre-req, except Anatomy- I have talked to a few other people with B+'s or A-'s... a B seems to be acceptable in Anatomy so long as your TEAS is good and all other classes are A's. If you have any questions just ask :)

I realize this is old, but JFK Muhlenberg Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder School of Nursing (crazy long name) in Planfield NJ has very very nice private dorm rooms and they are a 2 year joint diploma in nursing and associate degree program with Union County College. Housing is $1500 per semester, which is really not bad.

Does anyone know how they choose who they accept? Is it based solely on TEAS scores? Thanks!

Congratulations on your acceptances! I have a few questions if you don't mind. I am seriously interested in the Keystone Job Corps. What is the enrollment process like? What sorts of paperwork do I need to provide, specifically income paperwork? I am interested in the LPN program, but I don't mind completing a CNA course first, which i have heard is required. Is this true of everyone? Are people ever accepted right into the LPN program? Also, do you know if the LPN program is properly accredited by the board of nursing? What is living on center like there? How many girls to a dorm room, how busy are you, what is there to do, etc? Thanks so much!!
