College of the Canyons Fall 2016

Anyone applying to COC Nursing program Fall 2016?

Thank you so much for answering my questions! Is the first semester the whole day? I know clinicals are a full day, but are the school days also?

I think it depends on the day, if I remember correctly. I don't remember ever being at school for more than 4-6 hours.

I didn't use any specific resources, I just followed what the professors said and focused on the material they seemed to emphasize. I worked all through nursing school and even had 2 jobs at one point. It's all doable you just need to have good time management!

Thank you Erick :)

I was worried that I wouldnt be able to work while I did nursing. I've been told by many that I wouldnt be able to, but this is good to hear!

It really depends on the person. Many people quit their jobs and loved it. Some quit their jobs and regretted it. After first semester it really "slows down", but you need to have more commitment to studying on your own after first semester.

I am also applying to Fall 2016 and I received a 85% on my TEAS! Its exciting that COC sends out acceptance letters in mid-April, much earlier than most programs.

I just want this to be over!!....By the way I found a "study guide" here in allnurses that looks incredibily helpful just type in "How I passed the TEAS V Exam" and the poster gives you what to focus on!

Good Luck and dont forget to register on the ATI website so you can take the test!!

If you study the ati booklet in its entirety, you'll do great! Dont even sweat it. The test itself was easier than the online practice tests. There may have been a couple questions on the science portion that I had no idea about or ever seen. But it was maybe 1 or 2. For math, it was a lotttt of percentage and fraction problems. Overall, I believe if you study the ati guide, you'll be fine!

So i just took one of the online tests yesterday and scored a 70% :( I wasnt expecting those kinds of questions on the science portion. The wording of the answers is what makes it more difficult, there was about 5 questions I knew the answer to but the answer choices didnt make sense to me and I got them wrong...I am just hoping that you're right about the actual test being easier :( I want to get in the high 80s also :(

I have scored the lowest on science too. When I take the whole practice exam and average the scores I am barely making 80! I am really nervous for this Friday.
