Schoolcraft LPN-RN Fall 2017

Published

Hello AN!

I just passed the TEAS 6 at Schoolcraft this past Friday (after not scoring well enough in science on the TEAS 5 earlier this year). All of my pre-reqs have been accepted (from HFCC and Davenport, where I completely my LPN last year) and am now just waiting for contact from the school after submitting my resume and hours worked.

I'm starting this thread to keep in touch with other Fall 2017 hopefuls, as well as alumni of this program to give us insight.

Thanks in advance. :up:

Hello Fall 2017 class. How is everyone doing in the program? Any advice for those of us in the Fall 2018 class?

Just completed NURS 248-very intense! Study the materials/disease processes that are on your PowerPoints from this class (OB/Peds). On my way to leadership in 2 weeks and ready for graduation. I'm very blessed, grateful, and happy to have made it through the core nursing classes (there are a few classmates that will be returning in the fall to complete a class they didn't pass).

Congratulations shan409, LPN. I am happy for you! I appreciate your advice. I have been following your comments since you posted about starting the program. That was really fast. I am ready to get started! Were you in a study group?

Shan, what were the hours of your courses and clinicals? Are your clinicals 8 hours or 12 hours? Also how many days a week do you have class including clinical days? We're all your courses on campus?

I start the LPN to RN program this year. I didn't have to wait at all. I applied and seven days later I received my acceptance letter.

I met a classmate in my first class in Fall 1 and we studied together the entire program. We met at Starbucks, Tim Hortons, libraries (she's a mom too, so we had study dates with our kids with coffee and snacks). I studied with some of my clinical group members for exams sometimes too.

There is a rotation list sent out before the class starts that has you put your choices in order. Advanced Med-Surg I had 2 clinical days (07:00-14:30), one 4-5 hour class with 2 instructors. Psych I had one 12 hour day at clinical that I loved, with a 3-4 hr lecture class, OB/PEDS one 8 hour clinical for peds (07:00-15:00)and one for OB (15:00-23:00) and a 5 hour class split between two instructors, and leadership depends on which clinical you select. Hope that helped. I was able to work 24-36 hours per week as an LPN and take vacation days while preparing for exams.

Have you graduated yet? Have you started studying for you NCLEX-RN?

If you don't mind me asking. What was your overall (pre requisites and cummitive)GPA ? Did you retake any classes? I'm really worried about a W on my transcript.

I have a "W" on my transcripts and was still accepted.
