The CNA's in my hospital go by the job title, PCT. They are trained to do blood glucose checks, bladder scans and in the Emergency Room they sometimes insert foley catheters and do EKG's. The title and scope varies state to state, and sometimes even ...

Congratulations on landing a new CNA job, that is so exciting. I will be totally honest with you, I was nervous for my first 6 months on the job when I was a CNA. It's new territory and new skills you've just learned, and just learning to maneuver ar...

Congratulations on your acceptance in to the program. The curriculum does move quickly, but its prepares you well for second semester. (And 3rd and 4th if you decide to continue on.) They prepare you well for NCLEX and for a real-life nursing career....

I just graduated from the program in May. I was on the waitlist for 3 semesters. Worth it! It's a great, thorough program that prepared me well for the NCLEX and for real life Nursing.

I think I would appeal as well. Know going in that you may not get the outcome you are hoping for.. but it's worth a shot. That's incredibly frustrating, I am sorry!

I know, Hunter green! I wear that color as a PCT at the hospital I work at so I was really hoping it would be a different color haha. I hate the idea of spending $600 on books, but I think its inevitable in this case because of the "codes". Things c...

THe bookstore has our scrubs or you can get them from Apparel Pro in Tempe. They have our dress code list. You can wear any plain Hunter Green scrubs with the school embroidery on it.

I purchased mine from Apparel Pro in Tempe. They have our approved scrub list and will embroider your tops for $5 each.

Do you guys know anything about our clinical rotations? I know they are supposed to be assigned on the night of orientation, but does anyone have any idea what they base our assignments off of? Are they by distance from our homes? Do we get to select...

Thanks, that is great to know. They didn't give me that information when I went in. I also wasn't aware we had to upload to my clinical exchange. I have everything on Castle Branch but didn't hear anything about uploading to The Clinical Exchange sit...

Woohoo! Me too!

I purchased scrubs but have not bought my books from the book store yet. I was hoping to buy them used but the bookstore wouldn't give me a book list. They said we need to buy the new book package from them because there are codes inside that the use...

So, I went up to the school to see if I could get a copy of the book list because I wanted to see if I can get the books used some where for cheaper and they gave me such a hard time. They said the only way to get the codes we need for our class is t...

Just curious if anyone has accepted placement for Fall 2017 yet. I just turned my application in April, but was curious what the selection process was like if you got in for this Fall. If you got a decline email, did they tell you where you were on t...

Hi! I have a friend who graduated from EVIT's LPN program this past year and she said while the school was fine, she didn't feel like it prepared her well for real world nursing. She also had lots of issues with the billing department and they withhe...

Thank you for your reply! I actually had an attachment in my emails with the schedule that I wasn't able to see from my Mac. I work night shift so I am just hoping I can get my schedules to mesh well. It looks like the first few weeks are fairly inte...

I was placed at the beginning of April. It looks like applicants that applied before May of 2017 were placed for Fall of 2018.

I applied the first week of April in 2017.

I am so glad you got in so quickly! That is so exciting!!

Hi! Can anyone who attended the program recently tell me what your schedule looked like for the day time program? I was just accepted and was hoping to get an idea of what my schedule will be like.. Thanks!

I was placed in the Day cohort program for Fall earlier this week.

I finally received placement for the day cohort starting in Fall! í ¼í¾‰

Hello! I applied April of 2017 and am still waiting for placement. Hoping to start in Fall 2018. Last semester, they placed applicants from December of 2016, approximately, a 2-3 semester wait. Best of luck!

I got an email asking my preference of day/evening cohort. Did you get that email as well? It said they are most likely placing students who turned in their apps before May ‘17

I applied in April 2017 so I guess we will see. Fingers crossed.
