Applying to Pierce College, LAVC, GCC, LA County, COC, GCC, Pasadena, or Moorpark?

Published

Hello to all nurses and future nurses! Is anybody applying to any of these colleges?

  • College of the Canyons (COC)
  • Glendale Community College (GCC)
  • Los Angeles Pierce College (Pierce)
  • Los Angeles Valley College (LAVC)
  • Los Angeles City College (LACC)
  • Los Angeles County College of Nursing and Allied Health
  • Moorpark College (Moorpark)
  • Pasadena City College (Pasadena)

I ask because I'm applying to all of these and was wondering if anybody in their programs could provide any feedback; how good the professors are, rating the program as whole, the toughness, the stress of it all, anything. It would be of great help to choose which school's program would be best. OH GOD I HOPE I AT LEAST GET ACCEPTED INTO ONE THEM!:nailbiting:

Applying to all of these in the past few weeks has been both exciting and stressful because, you know, its great that I can finally apply but will I be accepted.:down: *sigh*

My grades might not be the best and my TEAS V score may not be that high, but I can honestly say that I tried my best. I've hit some hard bumps on the way just to finish the prereqs, but I'm pumped to get started into nursing. Those bumps include traveling across counties just to get the classes required to being told that my completed 3 unit science class would not be accetable to any nursing program. I just hope that my hardwork wasn't for nothing.:sorry:

Anyways, I write this so that anybody who is applying to any of the schools listed could see the responses that others give.

Cheers,

I will be applying to la county this fall. I still have micro to take, which I will be taking next month for 4 weeks. I'm also retaking political science hoping to raise my B to an A, so I can get more points. Haven't applied yet, so I haven't taken my teas. I'm curious, since you say your teas score and GPA isn't too great. What did you score on your teas? And what's your pre-req GPA?

I managed to get all "B"s in all my prereqs so prereq GPA was a 3 and my teas score was 75.1%. Hopefully this all enough to be competetive for a seat in any of the school's programs :unsure:. I try to keep a positive attitude because I had classmates who had Cs and Bs for their prereqs and a 65 to 70 for teas and yet some of them were able to be either accepted or be an alternative on their first try of applying. Maybe I'll be lucky...

LA county is great. It's my first choice of school because i heard so much good stuff about their program. The nurses i work with say its rigorous, but well worth it because they say they prepare you better than any other nurse who graduated from any other program

Your teas score seems good. I'm not sure about the other schools GPA requirements. I pray that you get accepted! Anything is possible :) I can't wait to hear about your acceptance! When will you be finding out?

They told me somewhere in the first week of December. Boy that'll be a great Christmas present!

I went to Pierce and after doing clinicals i can tell you Pierce students are more respected than a lot of other schools. A lot of the nurses will ask what school you're in and once you say pierce they are always more relaxed. The professors are sometimes unorganized but they do provided a great education. I passed my nclex in 35 minutes with 75 questions and got my dream job after graduating in 2 months thanks to them. I would go to Pierce if you get in.

Hi guys, I need a feedback. I applied last August 1, 2013 at PCC for LVN-RN and I just received a letter that I was chosen as an alternate. What are my chances? How long do I wait till I officially get accepted. My alternate status will end Nov 6. I pray I will get in. I've been waiting to finish RN.

Hello. I also applied to County for Spring 2013 entry. I started a thread for it here (if anyone else wants to chime in): :)
