Everest College Ontario RN program

U.S.A. California

Published

Hello all,

I know there are already a couple of posts for this school, but reading through the threads I didn't get all the information that I was looking for and considering that they are pretty old threads I made a new one because I didn't think anyone would look at those anymore. I've already completed all my prereqs at a community college, but I don't want to wait around forever to get into the community college rn program.

Anyways, I wanted to find out for those who are already in the program or have the info. What kind of studying should I do for their entrance exam? What kind of stuff comes in the tests. I also would like to know the cost or estimated cost of the school. And how do they go about choosing the students for the program? What exactly is the application process?

I've already called the school, but the lady that answered the phone wasn't able to give me much info except for that info sessions are in August and the program starts up again in January.

And if you are already in the program, I would like to know how to do you find the teachers to be?? Would you say that this is a good academic choice??

Please help me as I live really far away from this school and I am moving out there just for the program. It is a little difficult for me to just drive over to visit the school. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Uhuhuhu....I got a call yesterday too and have my financial appt for thursday!! Wowww...super excited!!! Hope to see you all in Jan!!! :-)

I was told to hold off on the physical and shots til I heard for sure because they don't want people going out the expense and then not being given a slot.

Hey guys,

I'm currently in my 4th quarter at Everest, getting ready to start my second year (if finals go well). I remember how rough it was waiting for "the phone call", but it'll come. I know they also select some students to be alternates, which isn't that bad of a deal. I know plenty of my fellow students were alternates and got in on the second round. I scored in the high 90's on my Hesi in Math and English, and work in the medical field, but didn't get my final call until days before the orientation. Hold out hope!

I read a few of you saying that you needed to know asap if you got in because of job issues... When they say you have to be avail 5 days a week, they really mean it. Once you start your core nursing classes in the 3rd quarter your schedule is crazy, especially if you have prerequisite classes that you are also to be taking. I know for the last two quarters we didn't get our schedules for clinicals and lab until two or three days before. They are supposed to be working on fixing that, but who knows. Just be ready and willing to be changing your schedule on a moments notice. It is a tough program, some days we have an overwhelming amount of homework, two tests in one day, and papers due left and right, but it is possible. I hope you all get in (whether it be now or later).

I wouldn't change my experience at the school for anything. After all, in a year (if everything goes as planned) I will be graduating and able to take my boards. And thats what really matters!

Thanks so much for the feedback. It's nice to hear from a current student...especially positive stuff. It's definitely competitive to get in, like they said. So, we should all be proud to have made it this far. Thanks again...and good luck on your finals.
