Pasadena City College RN program

Hi,

I've heard that it's not recommended to work while enrolled as a student in an RN program. I'm applying for the Spring Semester at PCC and while I do intend to leave my current employer should I be accepted, I was wondering if there were people who made the attempt to work part-time or possibly in the summer.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

You know what "we are a little behind" means....it means they got a hell of a lot more applicants than expected

Which is bad news for us, well me at least.

I know :( I got anxious and called and that's what they said!! Since November I've been checking my e-mail non stop! Haha I'm soooo anxious!! So what are all the pre reqs for CSULA?

OH and just so you all know how crazy I am.. i've already called 3 times!!! i'm hoping they will tell me a closer date each time! but honestly.. we've already done the most we can do! all we have to do is relax and WAIT and keep our minds on other things! buuut, easier said than done! i'm going to go see a counselor wednesday to make sure my general ed matches up with their expectations! does anyone go to citrus? i'm wondering if nutrition for fitness qualifies for pcc's nutrition requirement?

I go to citrus and it doesn't

Do you know if it qualifies for PE?

i took health science for PE. I wish that damn nutrition class counted but it doesnt. do you go to citrus? hmmm

i really want a response from PCC! Man crap happened at work last night and i got in trouble for something i had no control over so i need to look for another job asap but if i get accepted to PCC i will just wait it out! damn them, over course my luck they need another few weeks to get their crap together...you think if I call, they will tell me if i was at least in the "not denied, but not accepted maybe alternate pile?" the good thing is that the longer they take, the more pressured other people will be that they will take an acceptance somewhere else...maybe should i call

?

Honestly I feel like my days have been revolving around finding out!! I keep checking OCD status!! But just try you know?

for sure!

i did call and the guy was kinda rude and kept mixing up the dates and he was like if you dont hear until after first week of dec then its not gonna happen. i understand that but gosh he didnt have to be so rude! oh well

this just sucks! this is like bad news weekend! i have looked through all the past threads and everyone finds out around the 13th -15th! geez this really screws me up

and about work...ya. really dumb...i so want out of there but no point if i get accepted eh? geez knowing my bad luck streak i will get denied too :(

i took anatomy in summer 2010 and then physio fall 2010 and then micro in spring 2011!! you are soooo crazy for taking them together but good for you!!! :) soooo does that mean if we get denied we will hear later than those who hear they get accepted! the ladies who i've spoken to have been so nice!! how rude of him! maybe he didnt really know? idk! im just going craaaaaaazy!
