1. Citrus College ADN

   yellow_p replied to havhope05's topic in California

   As the original post is almost a year old, I hope this overview can still prove useful... I am currently in the ADN program (as an "advanced placement" student, i.e. I have my LVN already). I have pretty low expectations regarding nursing education,...

2. TEAS V @ SDSU

   yellow_p replied to keepmoving's topic in California

   I took it at Citrus College. Does it actually matter where it's taken? I infer from the tone of lots of people on here that it seems to...

3. TEAS V @ SDSU

   yellow_p replied to keepmoving's topic in California

   I'm afraid I cannot tell you about taking TEAS V at SDSU, but I did take it recently (Form B - web), and can tell you that it's not super-difficult, but you definitely want to do some prep-work, mostly from the online resources available through ATI ...

4. LVN to RN Programs

   yellow_p replied to TattooGirl27's topic in LPN-RN

   I would suggest the community college route (and not just because that's what I'm about to do!). I have a friend who dropped the big bills in order to go through West Coast University and his suggestions to me were to find a program that won't break...

   Good luck getting in! I don't think we'll be in the same classes, but hello all the same

6. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

   yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

   I've only been aware of this site for a couple of days (was googling about Citrus and this site came up), so prolly not Indeed, some class sizes are smaller than others, which might skew the percentages, but since I'm not sure exactly how the percen...

7. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

   yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

   It is true that the academic bar at ELAC is a bit lower, except for the Chemistry class I took there, that was quite challenging, but not unfairly so (as always, depends on the kind of professor/teacher you have). The core sciencey prerequisites were...

8. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

   yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

   Ah, coolies! Be sure to avoid the obnoxious Asian dude with girly hair (that'll be me)! For some reason, I was never too concerned about crime around ELAC, most likely because there's an L.A. County Sheriff's station right on campus, which I suppose ...

9. First Shift -- is this exhaustion normal?

   yellow_p replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

   If you're that tired, you were probably doing a good job :) If you're able to start a routine, you won't be so tired, but having a routine might become mind-numbing. The mental stress of having so many responsibilities I think weighs more heavily on ...

10. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

    yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

    BBH: No, not confusing. I actually did most of my prerequisites at ELAC but decided not to apply to the nursing program there for a variety of reasons.

    yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

    OkieDokie: I actually will be attending the orientation this Friday with my peers, and I found out about the class just by snooping around the Citrus/Wingspan website (because I have absolutely NO life whatsoever ). And thanks :)

    yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

    OkieDokie (love that name: I actually say it aloud often ): Advanced Placement grubs start in the middle of 2nd and 3rd semesters of the standard RN program, so technically it's a late start, but we do have to take a bridge class in July (if Wingspa...

13. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

    yellow_p replied to yellow_p's topic in California

    BBH: Ah, are you planning on enrolling in one of the nursing programs there, or just taking your prerequisites at Citrus? I do like the feel of the school, based on the few times I had to go there. I really do love the location of it with those mount...

14. Citrus College RN Program: Your Impressions!

    yellow_p posted a topic in California

    Hi hi, I'm planning on attending Citrus College starting this summer (the advanced placement thingee). If you are currently attending or have attended Citrus College, I'm eager to hear your opinions of the school/program, what I can expect, etc. Than...

15. Cerritos College Vs. Citrus College

    yellow_p replied to BT001's topic in California

    The horribly edited study guide from ATI (version V) is the definitive one, though I'd emphasize the practice tests near the back of the book as opposed to poring over every single page (the mind can only take so much frustration). I'd also (if you c...
