I made this thread for everyone hoping to get into CCSF's spring 2016 RN program, so we can keep each other updated.
This would be my 4th attempt in getting into the program since I finished my prereqs and gen ed in 2011, got my LVN license in 2013 because after my first 2 failed attempts, I figured I might as well get my LVN while waiting to get into the RN program.
I submitted my application in person today because I was told I'd be put in two different lottery pools (one for regular enrollment and one for advanced placement for lvns) which could increase my chances of getting in, and needed to have my license verified in person. This would be my first time applying for the advanced placement, because I'd rather not skip a sem so I can benefit from taking the courses to refresh my memory. Are there any of you fellow lvns who've tried applying through both the regular enrollment and the Advanced placement, and can tell me about their experience/how the process works?
I was also told the reason why they won't be posting results online ever anymore is due to HIPAA or privacy of the applicants/future students, which is very much understandable. We should expect to hear back for results November or December! And so the waiting game begins..Good luck to us all! ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»ðŸ™ðŸ»
I'm so nervous! This is my 2nd time applying at CCSF and I finished my TEAS on Monday 23rd. There were 15 students taking the exam. Anyone know how many students were taking TEAS exam on Tuesday 24th? I am #18 on standby... Did pretty good on the exam, while the gal next to me (who was accepted on condition) was crying after she got her score I felt devastated for her..
when do we hear from them again? My home mailbox is broken so I'm worried I'll miss any info.... Been glued to my phone and check email like crazy!
Omg congrats m0nobear!!!!! You definitely are in!!! I would have cried too!!!! I feel like I'm soooooo close but probably 1-3 slots (knock on wood) too far away... I hope not!!
This 4 day weekend is killing me. The sweet nursing director DID say, "all of you will be hearing from me within the next couple of days."
I too am anxiously waiting for some news. I took the TEAS last week at CCSF and I am wondering if I missed something. They obviously know our scores if we take that test there (the department chair/proctor wrote mine down to show me), but were we supposed to electronically submit them ourselves if we took it at CCSF?
She wrote my score down too. Then said to shut down the computer and was free to go. I'm sure if we would have had to do something else she would have said so! That submission time and date was probably for those who took the teas years/semesters ago...
I wonder if we're waiting for a phone call or email or actual mail.... I don't want to bother them by calling myself; I'm sure there are 30 of us internally dying to hear back....
Wow. No updates from anyone in two whole days?! I received a call yesterday and officially accepted my spot in the program. I'm so excited to start! It was my third time applying and I was #15 on the standby list if anyone was curious. Anyone else on here get accepted?
I got the call today and secured my spot! I was standby #18. Reality is starting to hit! :)
figuring out my finances as I can no longer get student loans!! I don't think I can get a good grade and work much either...... oh boy. Lots of beans and oatmeal for me in the near future :$
Congratulations!! When I went yesterday the woman said she had one last spot to give away so I'm assuming that was you! I was so nervous that I wouldn't make it. I'm so happy to be going to CCSF! I did all of my pre reqs there. I really loved it. All my professors were great and I'm sure the Nursing staff is no exception. Good luck with your finances! At least you got into a program that is on the way more affordable side I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that the program is estimated to cost about 7k. Does anyone know if this is correct?
Oh and v_415, were we supposed to register already for classes? I already see a lab section is waitlisted so I'm assuming people have already registered.
Futurenurse324, wow! I must have got in by the hairs on my chin!
I tried registering for classes too but the CRNs said "need department approval" --- aww man! and they didn't save either..
I still can't decide if I want that 7:10 am Monday lab or Friday 10:40 :/ .... I'm thinking Friday (darn!!) In case BART has AM delays I'll have some buffer time... (I live by 16 mission BART)
wish they could just fit us all in the Monday lab!
