Rio Hondo ADN Nursing Program

U.S.A. California

Published

Hi everyone,

I currently go to Mt. Sac at the moment and will finish all my ADN pre-requistes for Rio Hondo this summer. As for the selection criteria they use overall, I feel that my application will be highly competitive. However, my definition of competitiveness is probably different from others. I was wondering for anyone who currently attends or previously attended the ADN program at Rio Hondo to state your applicant profile (overall GPA, science GPA, volunteer hours, any previous degree, and experience). Thanks, it would help me and many others who are hopeful in entering the ADN program at Rio Hondo College. :)

I applied for the generic ADN. I am still not sure if i will be attending though. I applied to 25 schools, so im hoping to get into one that doesnt require summer school!!!

Hi Mz. Solo, congrats to you and everyone else that got in to RHC! I also got accepted and am scheduled to take the TEAS on April 12th. I got the McGraw-Hill's 5 TEAS practice tests book off of Amazon that I'm going to start working on this week. I heard that taking practice tests is the best way to study.

A co-worker of mine is currently attending Citrus College's ADN program and he said there was a good amount of science questions.

So excited to meet the rest of you and work on getting our RN licenses finally! :D

I am not familiar with the area, and would be moving for school. what areas are safe, and what areas should i stay away from?

Yay i got in to!!! Hope to see some of you guys in adn 151 this june!! I got all Bs in my prerequisites but i have my emt license, cna license, my AA in science and mathematics, and i took 3 years of spanish at rio which counted me as bilingual....gahhhhh im soooo excited i started crying when i read my letter!!! I hope my friend gets in weve done everything from anatomy to emt together and the only thing different was she didnt have cna. Shes an alternate hope she gets in!!

Oh i also had over a hundred hours of volunteer work in the neonatal intensive care unit at st jude hospital, a first generation college letter, and a personal statement saying how hard my life has been but how much joy i get from working on ambulances and my current job at the nursing home. Hope this helps anyone who is trying to come up with a stellar application just shows you dont need all As in prerequisites just be very well rounded!

TEAS done on Tuesday, not too bad. Just remember you only need a 62% that is a "D", and I'm pretty sure everyone that got in has a better gpa than a D, so just relax, breath, and for math (watch the time limit, it sneaks up on you). Next the "to do" list. Good luck and see you in the summer. Go class of 2014

Just keep in mind guys, not to rain on anyone's parade, but Rio only offers courses once a year. If you happen to (I hope not) fail a class, you have to wat one full year before re-entering. :( That's the case I'm in now. If I would have known that (even though I wasn't planning on failing) I wouldn't have went with Rio.

I just gave up my spot in RH ADN generic program. GL to all alternatives for RH.

I'm in at RH I look forward to meeting everyone next week at orientation. I'm so nervous and sooooooo excited. My Clinicals are at Downey Regional where is everyone else at?

RonnieDita, what orientation is this?

Once You're clear of medical reqmts you get your registration codes and then they tell you to come to orientation. I think we even got an orientation email before all this was cleared. has anyone else gotten this email? Is anyone else done with all their requirements?

I just called and my status was changed from alternate to...NURSING STUDENT!!!!!! AHHHHHHH!!! IamsoexcitedthatIcanhardlythink! Congrats to all, I can't wait to meet Class of 2014 at orientation.
