Hello, I am a stay-at-home mother who wants to be a nurse.
I am still thinking which school I have to apply...Pasadena city college or East Los Angeles college. They both are close to my place, but they require little bit different pre-req classes. (I haven't get started of taking any pre-req.)
PCC ; Fewer pre-peq classes, (only couple of online classes)no entrance exam. High pass rate of RN. Long waiting-list(at least 5 years), lottely.
ELAC; more pre-req classes than PCC, but most of them can be taken online. TEAS exam as an entrance exam, and lottely. Passing rate of RN is decreasing in those years(90 to 60%).
My child is still little, so online classes are very useful, but I do not know if I can transfer units taken at ELAC when I apply to PCC.
Could you tell me your opinion if you are in one of them?
Pasadena City college OR East Los Angeles college?

Hi- I am a graduate of PCC, about 14 years ago. I dont live in Pasadena or California anymore, so I dont know what is going on there now. However, I can tell you that PCC was the first AD rn program in the US. The instructors and the program had very high standards. All but 2 of our class passed the boards the first time. Hospitals in So Cal considered PCC grads to be good nurses to hire. Good luck!
