Anyone Applying to Antelope Valley College RN program

U.S.A. California

Published

I didn't see a thread on AVC nursing so I just made one for everyone. IS anyone applying to AVC nursing or in the program already? The person working at the department told me it would be like 3 semester waits. I'm expecting to get in around fall 2011 or spring 2012 since I turn in my application around October 2010. Anyone in the program already, would you please share your experience. Anyone who is about to get in the program, can you please tell me how long you've waited since the time you turn in the application?

Thanks everyone!!!

I emailed the coordinator of Health Sciences. -----------------

She is very helpful :) What did you email her? Are you in?

No I am not in the program I am on the waiting list. Goldenheart10 asked how did I find out my number on the wait list. &'d she is amazing.

Yes, thank you! I will do that! Looking more into the program I found out that i'm able to take certain courses from the curriculum of registered nursing prior to enrollment in the first semester of the program. If I take these courses i'm able to take from the curriculum while i'm on the wait list (such as int. algebra, gen. psych..), will I be finished with the program sooner? What I mean by this is:

1st semester curriculum consists of :

NS 110, prof nursing I

NS 111, fund of nursing science

*MATH 102, int, algebra

Assuming i've already completed the MATH 102 course prior to enrollment, would that spot be filled with a class from 2nd semester? And so on? Thus, completing the program sooner?

This question may sound silly, but I'm completely clueless on all this college business. :down:

Thank you!!

Finishing your requisites to fulfill your AS degree for Nursing sooner won't make any difference as to how fast you can finish the RN program. You have to follow the curriculum, so once in the program you will be there for 4 semesters assuming you don't fail any of the nursing classes. Finishing those requisites prior to starting the nursing program, however, will make a big difference for you if you want to excel in the program. It is not an easy program and the less extra classes and activities you have the better for you. You don't want to fail any classes in particular your first semester fundamentals class. If you do, you have to reapply to the program and go back on the wait list. I graduated from the program May 2013, in case you are wondering how I got the information.

I'm currently a Respiratory Therapist at Antelope Valley Hospital, and I hope to get in the program as well as do all my clinical time here as well.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ever filled out the prerequisite challenge form for the rn program at AVC. If they did, how long did it take to receive a reply and if the wait was longer. Any extra info will help. thanks :)

It takes about 5 days. They'll call you or e-mail with the results.
