Trying to get into an ROP, using scorched earth approach :)

Published

Hey everybody!

I'm changing careers and I'm trying to become a LVN. So I joined THIS great site and found out about Regional Occupational Programs (thanks to all you righteous folks!) :up:.

I've already applied at two ROP programs in the San Fernando valley and tomorrow I'll be applying at two more in LA & Orange county (believe me the hellish commute would me MORE than worth it!).

Anyways, I was wondering if this is a good approach? I figure the more places I apply the better my chances are of getting in! Also, does anyone have any idea what might be on the entrance test? I'm no dummy but I haven't been in high school in what seems like forever and anyone who's watched ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER knows it's hard it can be to answer questions about things you've forgotten! I'd just like to refresh my memory.

Thanks everybody!

i have been on Regional occupational program and i cannot recall taking an entrance test or having to wait just to get accepted. Anyways, they have pre-requisites like passing the medical terminologies and must have atleast B or above for major health related courses like plebotomist, CNA, OR tech etc etc. Your chance of getting in is more likely higher with your approach.
