grossmont college waiting list

U.S.A. California

Published

I've been on the Grossmont waiting list for a year and a half now. Estimated start date is fall of 2007...anyone else?? I mainly see posts from people in programs or people still taking pre req's. Looking for others in limbo here in san diego like myself.

I would think that they would "cushion" that start time. If she said Spring 2007 and it didn't happen, then you would be upset and raise h**l. If she said Fall 2007, then you would expect it to happen then. I would definitely be prepared to start in the Spring. I'm surprised that she didn't give a range like Fall 2007 OR Spring 2008.

You know keeping positive thoughts is the only way I'm getting through this wait. I hope it works out for you this Spring.

did anyone read the article in the UT about the grossmont nursing program possibly losing it's national accreditation for not having enough full time faculty?

How important is it FOR THE STUDENT to go through a nursing program with national accreditation? Does it really matter if Grossmont stays accredited with the California Board of Nursing?

Well from the meeting I attended, they told us that being accredited thru the California Board of Nursing is the important one, not the NLN. But man, now im starting to get worried.

If Grossmont is not NLN accredited, does that mean I can't work in a different state?

from what the article said, it sounds like current students wouldn't be effected, just incoming students... but still, what does it mean? that new students won't be able to go out of state to get jobs?

also, i checked the NLN website & SDSU & point loma aren't NLN accredited, so maybe it's not that bad?

SDSU has a different national accreditation.

Maybe the NLN will grant Grossmont an extension, I did plan on moving out of state, I need to talk to someone about this.

politics...

Maybe we should start a petition. Maybe write to Duncan Hunter or the governor. Protest outside the Deans office. This program needs funds and the state needs nurses.

The squeaky wheel gets the oil. Know any loud mouths??

Just a thought :)

So, is it normal that no one has enrolled for section 120 yet?

I noticed that too. The other classes are getting filled up.

Not sure, but if they were not having a new 120 course it wouldn't be listed and there wouldn't be a section number for it. Ive heard nothing about that, but i'll see what I can find out tomorrow in class.
