COC - College of the Canyons - Spring 2014

Published

I'm starting this thread for everyone applying for COC's spring 2014 RN program. Please feel free to join in. We're all in this together! For anyone who's thinking of applying, the deadline for turning in your transcripts and requesting your prerequisite evaluation is tomorrow!

I'm an LVN hoping to get into the LVN to RN program. I applied last year and received an email notifying me that I qualified for the program but that they didn't have the required 20 qualified LVN applicants to offer the class. Booo hooo hooo... Oh well, I completed all of the General Ed classes in the meantime and have my fingers crossed for this time around :-)

I'm a little nervous about the TEAS V test and am starting to study for it. I read that the test is pretty challenging. Yikes!

I look forward to hearing from my fellow nail-biters!

Christi- Ok, good to know. Thanks!

No reply to my RSVP either

Okay, good to know we are all in the same boat! Are you guys officially in?! I got selected as an alternate so I'm crossing my fingers that I will get in!

Yes I am officially in the lvn bridge. Which program did you apply for?

Yes, in the program... finally!

Best of luck to you! You have a good chance. Just hang in there either way!

Welcome Nrs4Sunshine! - Congratulations! Yes, I'm in the LVN bridge program!

Jlwinkle1015 - I signed up for the Healthcare Fire Safety class. I was afraid that if I waited the class might be full.

Chrristinad - No, I haven't received a confirmation yet either.

Awesome! Congratulations to you all! I am an alternate for the regular RN program!

2dawn - where is the fire class at? Or where are you taking it?

Chrristinad -

The class is at COC. It's listed in folder 2. The class will be held on Saturday, November 16th, from 9:00am to 3:00pm.

I think I'm going to sign up for that class also! I can't seem to log in... which username/password do you use for the website to purchase the Fire Class?

Nrs4Sunshine -

I couldn't figure it out either so I called and they told me I had to create a new account. They're not linked with any other COC usernames or passwords.

To 2dawn, and Chrrristinad: Did you guys know that after the transition course, we are going to be placed in a waiting list?

"LVN to RN Applicants:

Applicants accepted into the program will first enroll in the Transitions into Nursing course, Nursing 109. Upon completion of Nursing 109, the student will be placed on a waitlist to progress in the program on a space-available basis. "

I talked to one of my co-workers who graduated from COC and he told me that after the transition program he was put on hold for 6 months. He also said that they were divided in 2 groups. The people who applied at the beginning were not put on hold and they were the first group to go straight into the program after the transition course. The second group who applied during the middle of the application period were put on hold. Im scare now :(

Luz -

Yes, I read that. It says, "...will be placed on a waitlist (by application date) to progress in the program on a space-available basis." I applied on August 1st. When did you apply?
