Hi- I graduated from the PCC RN program 15 years ago (time REALLY flies) so I cant comment on wait times now. I can tell you that we got a good education. The instructors we had then are probably long gone, but I bet a lot of us will remember Dr Latham and Mrs Munoz. They were great. Good luck to you.

I'm graduating from Mt. SAC this June and I think it's a really good school. If you have any specific questions just ask me.

Thanks for the reply. How long did you have to wait to get accepted in the nursing program? How are the proffesors? In your opinion, can a nursing student work fulltime? Can you give me an example of what the schedule is like, example, first year of the nursing program?
Thanks you so much!

It took me a year (2 semesters) to get into the program. This was however before the lottery system. Most of the professors are pretty good, but you can't really expect too much because they can't cover everything, but they try their best. So you will be spending a lot of time reading and learning on your own, but that pretty much goes for a lot of different places. I used to work pretty close to full time my first year, but I quit my job last year so that I can focus on school. I would suggest maybe just working part time. For the first year you're at school about three days a week and at clinical maybe two or so.

no there are no evening classes. is it possible for you to cut back on your hours. going to nursing school is a full time job within itself. you have to dedicate a lot of you time to it.

I just graduated from Mt. SAC, I had to wait 2 semesters after I put in my application. But this was a while ago, and now they have the lottery, so I'm not sure how long its going to take now. Sorry.
