I am applying this summer for Spring 2011 admissions for COC. I know they choose their students based on 2 criteria. i wanted to know for those students who have been accepted, what were your stats. Do you have a prior degree? What was your GPA for your undergrad, and for your pre-reqs? Have you worked in a hospital? Their application has a section where you can mark off if you were a first generation college student, if you had emotional circumstances or economic challenges. How will that affect the applicant?
I know this other question should go under a different topic, but what is their nursing program like? i tried searching the classes for each semester to simulate what their class/clinical schedule would be like but I got confused with the "short term" classes and the different lectures for each class. Could anyone tell me what a typical week is for a nursing student at COC? where clinicals are practiced? When I was getting my training at COC for CNA we did Henry Mayo hospice.
Sorry, I know it's a lot of questions but i really want to get a picture of the future, lol. I'm getting old and wish to get my new career going. I've got a degree in Biology from MSMC that has really gotten me no where, and since I've always been interested in medicine and have had some experience as a CNA I think nursing is a great choice. I've spoken to my friends who graduated with me but they got their degree in Nursing, and they just love what they do. they have given me real facts on the pros and cons and this seems like the right move. Thank you for your imput. :-)
Awesome Kurt!!!!! See you then, lol, except I won't know who you are, hehehe, I'm sure you'll know who I am if I tell you I will be the most different from the whole group, probably the only one who looks the way I do. hehehe
Anybody heard from COC for the Spring 2011 semester for their lvn to rn program? I haven't recieve any emails yet. I noticed people recieved emails already so does that mean my chance of getting in is slim? Thanks in advance!
I can't speak for everyone, but maybe b/c I applied directly to the core RN program rather than a LVN-RN bridge I got my e-mail already. It might work differently for those who are in your position, just call and inquire, say you know a few people who got their e-mails and you just wanted to know if the e-mails for the LVN-RN bridge applicants have not been sent yet.
first of all, congrats to all of you who got in! :)
I also applied for the Spring 2011 COC Nursing Program, and have yet to receive an email. It's kind of frustrating since I received a real decent score on the TEAS yet haven't received anything at all. I am out of state although my dad lives about 5 minutes away from campus, but I wonder if me being in Arizona has anything to do with it. Don't they want some demographic diversity!? This is making me really nervous...
I got my acceptance email yesterday! :) Thanks for replying to my question. Orientation is on the 15th of this month. Also, I just want to add to those people who wants to know...I don't think you need a high gpa to get in. I'm just an average student and I didn't do too good on my overall gpa.
Awesome htz204, Congratulations!!!! Yes, I think you are right htz, I don't think they require super great GPA's, I think they take a lot into consideration, as long as they believe you can succeed in their nursing program. Well, i'll see you all on the 15th. By the way, I wonder if I am the only one coming from Palmdale, hehehe
