when are the acceptance/rejection letters sent for the pasadena ciy college nursing ADN program for spring 2008?

They have been sent. The deadline to notify an intent to accept was this Wednesday and the orientation is Monday. I'm sorry if this means bad news for you. Are you waiting to hear from any other schools?

If you want to attend you might want to go to orientation - just kind of show up. Admit you are not on the wait list (that you know of) and just wait & see if there are extra spaces available. If you want more info, pm me. Best wishes.

i got in as an alternate at pcc.... so this woman called me to tell me that a position opened up and if i'm interested to call her back and i did except it was the answering machine.. so i have to go on orientation on monday and hope to see what happens. i'm also worried about my background check because i have one record on there that happened a year ago (misdemeanor) and i'm worried they might not consider me. i'm also worried about the entrance exam... does anyone know whats on it and how hard it is?

i also applied to msmc and i got in.. except i'm worried about the price and the low passing rate for the nclex exams.. i really dont mind having loans to pay if that means i'll be going to a good or better school except why is the passing rate only 66% at msmc compared to pcc which is 94% when one is a private school with a good reputation and the other is a community college?

does anyone know where clinicals are held for these schools? kaiser, good sam, huntington hospital?

PCC said they have had several people decline the offer to go there, so alternates have a good chance. The test is the TEAS test. You can read about it on other threads here. You can get study materials online for it. RE: background check. I have no idea. maybe someone else does. Kitten79 goes there and can probably tell you about the clinical sites if you PM her.

PCC does not go to Good Sam but does go just about everywhere else. I would not worry about a blip on your record - as long as you are honest about it this should not hold you back.

if one has already taken the TEAs exam in september 2007 and got an 82% overall score, does that person still have take to the entrance exam at PCC?
