    This will be my first semester applying to ADN programs! I am hoping to move to the Los Angeles area either for nursing school or after it; I just wondered if Pasadena Community College (PCC) gives favor to those already in the LA area. I mean, will they still take my application seriously even if I am in Northern California? I know for their Anesthesia Technician program, they ask for a statement of intent. Is that true for their ADN program?

    Also, I took Microbiology 8 years ago (but I took Anatomy & Physiology last year). PCC website says it's "highly recommended" to take it within 5 years. Does anyone know of a case where someone took a science class more than 5 years ago and got in?

    Here are my stats:

    Overall GPA: 3.1
    Science GPA: 3.71 (Micro: B, A&PI: A, A&PII: A)
    Non-Science Prerequisite GPA: 4.0
    *Need to work
    *Veteran/Honorable Discharge
    TEAS V: 86%

    Moved just a bit to the CA State Nursing Programs forum for more targeted responses. Best of luck!

    i retook anatomy recently because it wasn't taken within 5 years. they recommend that you have the classes within 5 years.

    Interesting... Did you apply before you retook it and not get in? I do plan to take micro again in the fall if I don't get into a program...

    Oy! Of course my application gets lost in the mail :-l

    Luckily, I have extra copies of everything including transcripts... I emailed pcc to see if by chance they got it anyway... Here's to hoping they have it and get back to me!

    i haven't applied yet. i'm still thinking about turning in my application for the LVN to RN program.

    Only one of the 5 schools I'm applying to is accredited by NLN... I don't think it matters. It definitely doesn't affect NCLEX pass rates!
