Antelope valley fall 2015!

[Jdorsey0724]

Hello all! I been following this forum for awhile and I have always found a lot of good information on here... I thought I would start a forum to reach out to anyone who may be applying to AVC for fall of 2015. I know we may be finding out in May. How does everyone feel about this? I know that stats requirement may of helped people that already had the the class done a small advantage. IF I get in, I'm concerned about whether or not I should work or not. I'm full time at a mortgage company which I know I would definitely have to leave... Does anyone know how to get on with a medical based job without any CNA, or medical assist license? Or if chanes of getting a job in that field are even likely with no licensing.

I was accepted I hope you were to and I am pretty sure you will need to quit your full time job or at least work part time.

I just quit my full time job too.

Hi! Congrats! I am planning on applying to the LVN to RN? How long did you wait? WAs it for the generic or LVN to RN?

Ok so I am applying for spring 2016. I did not get into COC, but for AVC , I have 40 points and passes the TEAS with a 71%. I am also a CNA. I'm so afraid that I'll never get in. :/

[krissy3249]

I know that feeling, just gotta keep the faith & be patient. You have a good amount of points, so you cod very well start in spring :)

[sdfarey1]

Thank you! I certainly hope so. I'm so nervous. Haha

[krissy3249]

You can email them & they should be able to tell you where you are on the "wait list" right now. I know after September 1st they won't be able to tho cuz they start the decisions but it'll give you an indicator of where you fall & you could move up due to the point system.

I literally just put in my application so doubtful that I'll get in for spring but, I'm hoping I'll at least get in at some point. COC was such a downer for me. I cried. I almost gave up completely but then I decided it's worth another shot. I love being a CNA, I know I'll love nursing even more.

[krissy3249]

I think COC has their standards set really high & I've heard they base most of the decision on TEAS scores. Don't give up tho! The world needs nurses that actually love what they do not just love the money!

[sdfarey1]

They base almost everything off your TEAS score. It sucks for people like me that aren't great test takers. I studied my butt off, but the pressure of actually taking the test just knocked me off my game. I got nervous, and rushed the end of math because I ran out of time. Id timed myself before the test too!! It totally stunk. I'm hoping AVC judges differently.

Thank you! I know that I will be so successful given the chance to start nursing courses!!! There's nothing I want more.

[krissy3249]

I'm in the same boat. Before the test I did great on time but when I finally took the teas I ran out of time on the math. I got 80 or above in all the other areas but my math was 62% so it brought my overall score down a lot.. I think AVC goes by points for the first half & waitlist for the second half.

[sdfarey1]

You're probably 100% fine. I'm sure you'll start soon! my 71% is a bad score ugh. I had a friend that had to retake the TEAS, and she is going to pierce for nursing now, so maybe all isn't lost for me. I passed the first time.

[krissy3249]

True! Passing on the first try is definitely a plus!!

Are re you taking any other classes right now?

[sdfarey1]

Nope I'm done. The only thing I need is philosophy 110 for graduation. I'm wait listed for that this fall so I don't know if I'll get in. I got B's in A&P but a C in micro which totally stinks because I took it years ago when I was still a teenager and had no idea what I was doing. Same with English 101. I'm so mad. I screwed myself over.
