Absolutely! I’m really liking my time in the program but I won’t lie, it’s hard. Chaffey does have a tough curriculum and higher standards but I feel like they offer a great education. In first semester there’s a 5 week course called Nursing 6 where you’ll learn all basic CNA skills. You Must pass Nursing 6 to move on to the next course Nursing 14. In 14’s you start clinical and start passing medications, administering injections, placing NG tubes and learning to thoroughly assess patients. In lecture you learn about the nursing process and basic pathophysiology as well as pharmacology. Exams are every 2 weeks, clinical is once a week, & care plans are due each week. It’s just a culture shock lol there’s So much to do and so little time. It’s definitely an adjustment. For lecture you must read ahead and be studying every day as well as meeting and mastering the objectives for the different topics/chapters, for clinical it’s all about practicing the skills and having good communication with your instructor and patients. Granted, I’m still in the middle of the semester but that’s whats worked for me this far :)
I just saw the entrance criteria section on chaffey website: https://www.chaffey.edu/healthsciences/nursing/nursingadn/pdfs/multi-criteria-selection-process.pdf
It says Effective Fall 2019. Does that mean we had to attach it to our application for fall or are we sending when we apply ON fall? I just sent my application with the evaluation paper and TEAS score.

The multi-criteria (points system) starts next application period: the fall for entrance into next spring. However, for those that just applied in March it's still random selection.
