Cerritos College: Getting into Nursing Program

Published

hello,

i have been doing my research online about how to get my aa in nursing, and i noticed several people saying that it is really difficult to get accepted. what are the requirements, and how long is the wait? i heard that you can get on the waiting list while you are in school, but i do not know if that is true. i would think you need to finish your general ed and prerequisites first in order first in order to submit the application. does anyone have an idea about any of these questions? please!! please!! please!!! i am so excited to become a nurse, and i am willing to wait, but i just want to be sure about what i am getting into.

Did u guys heAr anything from Cerritos yet?

Hello!! I got a letter about being an alternate.. #7! I am not getting my hopes up too high though.. Does anyone know how many they accept?? And how does it work if I don't get in for fall 2012.. Because the letter said I'm an alternate for fall 2012 and spring 2013.. I am a little confused

I got accepted into the Fall 2012 class pending I pass the TEAS exam. I registered for the May 22nd exam date.

Hi,

My name I Mony. I also got accepted in to Cerritos and LBCC. Yet, I still haven't decided which one should I go for. I actually did the TEAS test already. Good luck to you.

Hi everyone!!

I am a LVN looking to bridge into the last year of the ADN program at Cerritos. i am finishing my micro and have physiology next spring. I am going to study for the TEAS exam during winter break. I am currently in Nursing 250 with Mrs. Riedel (who is an absolute crack up!) for the LVN bridge class. i am super nervous all of a sudden, I have worked in Ambulatory my entire LVN career. The last time i was in an acute setting was in the LVN program 6 years ago and also i was a CNA on an Oncology floor for fours years, over ten years ago.

Can anyone give me some pointers on calming my nerves? Also, should i apply in March? i will have one science in progress and still need to take the TEAS. or should i just wait until next October?

Thanks so much for any input you may have!
