You are not eligible for the nclex pn, they used to let you take your CNA test after a year but they don't do that anymore either! One good thing is that they are hopefully getting accredidated though! We started our clinicals at Lynn care, then went to wmc (oncology, GI, 3 east, neuro, 4th surg, mother baby, peds, observation, psych), we've been to greenfield in strasburg, wmh in front royal (med surg) and then you go to places like wound care, the cdrc, and a dr office for a day. I would say my favorite would have to be oncology. Mrs. K is absolutely amazing (they all are really). None of them were bad, the LTC's are a little slow paced. I dont think its as as competitive as it used to be. I got a 87% on my entrance Hesi and my GPA was probably around a 3.7. I almost failed my first semester. I went from working full time in the first semester, to part time second semester, per diem third semester and now not at all. I also have kids. It's definitely challenging. The hard part is just having to learn so much in so little time. It's so interesting but you don't really have time to really dig into it. YouTube helps a lot. The tests are also very different from other classes tests. So definitely look into doing some nclex questions because we were not warned lol. I always read the book, highlight important parts then write the parts I highlited down and that's what I study from. A lot of test questions come from the little boxes in the book. YouTube anything you don't understand and google any words you don't know as often as you see them to make them stick. Practice conversions because you will have a test the first day of every semester starting the second semester. Just take it day by day! First semester was hard just because I didn't know how to answer the questions. The second and third semester were the hardest, with third being the hardest just because of the course work load. Lots of busy work. Good luck! I'm sure you will get in :)

Hi! I am about to graduate from lfcc! I got my acceptance letter around the end of April. You'll have an orientation and you'll have a packet to get filled out before school starts (physical and shots mainly that I remember). You'll need a cpr certification as well. Also, every semester you have to pay about $150 for their online testing material that financial aid doesn't cover, so just be prepared for that! We started clinicals at the end of the first semester but I think they did it different for those who started last semester. Start reviewing fundamentals and practicing nclex questions! Fauquier is a little harder to get into because they only accept about half as many people as Middletown. Good luck!!!!!

aw I'm sorry isn't there a waiting list though!? I had like a 3.4 gpa for my last 12 credits (stupid chemistry!), 87% hesi score and I have my cna which gives you more points I hear! I live in Winchester! I'm. I'm not sure why you didn't get it :/ did you have all your pre reqs done? If it was bc of the service region then that's not cool

I did! I got it this past Saturday! I thought it be a few days or weeks more!! Did you?

Because I am definitely impatiently waiting! Wondering if anyone else is, and whether or not you know when we should know if we got in or not!
