Saddleback students - a few questions about your program...

2lroberts:


I don't have the name of the counselor who answered my e-mail. I used Saddleback's e-advice service (online counseling) and was told that my course would meet the requirement of lifecycle 1 & 2.

Now, I'm confused. I would really like to talk to the nursing counselor you called to make sure that I'm not wasting my time with a course that won't be accepted. Would you mind giving me her number or her full name, so I can ask for her?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot. I'll look into it and let you know.

I called the nursing counselor you talked to, and she verified that my course meets both lifecycle 1 & 2, and my college is not one of the neighboring schools. I also know of someone else who had a three unit psychology course (human development) approved for lifecycle 1 & 2 (also not from a neighboring school). It depends on what the course covers.

I think when she told you that the teacher was very strict and would not accept most courses, she probably confused the lifecycle courses with pharmacology. Many pharmacology courses (even those of some other nursing programs) are not accepted at Saddleback.

I would still try e-mailing the catalog description or the syllabus description of your course (if your catalog is not detailed enough) to the counseling department and ask if it will waive lifecycle 1 & 2. You definitely have a shot.

Good luck!

No problem. Glad I could help.
