Cerritos College, CA

Specializes in Emergency Department.

I received my letter yesterday that I am in for the Fall '09 or Spring '10 class! :yeah:

I am taking the TEAS on the 17th. They do a randomized lottery and haven't revealed the order of our places (which decide the class). It was the last of 5 ADN community college programs I've applied to and got it on the first chance drawing. Weird, but I'll take it! It would be nice to get picked in the Golden West or Saddleback (my A&P Cs killed me for a straight GPA shot there) lotteries because they are a LOT closer to me with much nicer clinical sites, but I will take what I can get since it's only a means to the end!

Anyone else hear from Cerritos?

I got a letter from Cerritos College asking me to take the TEAS exam, but it didn't say anything about getting into the program. It just said that I'd have to take and pass the exam before I can be admitted, assuming I get chosen. Did your letter say anything specific about your getting admitted into the program?

Also, does anyone know if this exam is difficult? I really have no idea what the exam entails and I have to take it tomorrow at noon. I just looked it up and apparently there are four sections - math, reading, english, science. Does anybody know what percentage is the passing rate? I haven't studied and don't really have any studying materials so I hope I can just wing it!

But congrats to those that are in for sure! :)
