1. Community health experience bad experience

   adamastor posted a topic in NP Students

   Hello all, I am ADN educated RN. I am currently enrolled in a NP Program. Since my bachelor degree is non-nursing major I need to take some classes before taking the core NP courses. The last BSN-type class I need to take is the community health...

   adamastor posted a topic in General Students

   Hello all, I will be entering nursing school's last semester in the fall. There is this girl in my class I am somehow interested in and I have all the reasons to believe she likes me back. I would have initiated things already if it weren't for the f...

   adamastor replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I haven't heard anything from pcc. I believe you are right, the point system is just used to select a pool of applicants from which the accepted candidates are randomly drawed, and good grades will only help so much. At this point I'm no longer expec...

   adamastor replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know it used to be a random lottery but this term they had introduced the multi-criteria point system now in use at most CC around LA. I tried looking for the exact selection procedure on the website but it doesn't say. I was under the impression t...

   Isn't the selection based on a point system?

6. Pasadena City College Spring 2016

   adamastor replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I haven't heard anything back from PCC. My stats are Cum 3.10, science 4.0, full points for the TEAS since I have a bachelor. Honestly I think we both have competitive profiles, I'm surprised we haven't heard anything not even as alternates. Oftenti...

   The health science department said they were "hoping" to send out acceptation mails by the end of the week. We will see, fingers crossed!

   Hi all! I applied for the Pasadena City College basic RN program to start Spring 2016. The deadline closed on August 1. Since no thread had been created before feel free to join in if you applied for that term as well.

10. Azusa ELM Summer 2016

    adamastor replied to Malec001's topic in NP Students

    To rate the ELM objectively is difficult, I guess the only way to do it would be to look at NCLEX pass rate over the pass few years. It averages the high 80% which isn't bad but isn;t great neither, behind many community colleges. I believe this defi...

11. Azusa ELM Summer 2016

    adamastor replied to Malec001's topic in NP Students

    @ienurse How do I know? I attended APU. I remember that all or nearly all qualified applicants were offered admission. The ELM program at APU doesn't receive a huge amount of applicants unlike CC or public universities. The reason behind this is that...

    adamastor replied to Malec001's topic in NP Students

    Hello guys, Just to give you the heads up about the way APU admissions work, for those who wonder, it depends mainly on 2 factors: 1/ Have you completed all your pre-requisite course with at least a couple of A's? 2/ Will you be able to pay for tuit...

    adamastor replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My gpa is 4.0 both science and GE. However I haven't taken the TEAS yet. Has anyone received an invitation to take the test yet? Do you know if the draw is completely random or if it is weighted?

    Thank for sharing. I personally only applied to PCC so far, but in case I wouldn't get in I'm planning on applying to Glendale and LADHS. I wonder when we'll find out, it's my guess sometimes next month.
