El Camino, Compton, Cypress College Spring 2020 nursing application process

Published

Hi everyone. I applied to El Camino College, Compton College and Cypress College. I was hoping we could help each other out in sharing information. This is my first time applying to any nursing program. All I know for now is that ECC is supposed to send an email to potential candidates to take TEAS on or around Oct 21. What I don’t understand is if we will get the invite around that time or if we will be TESTING around that time. It can be read either way. At compton, the lady at the front desk said they’d be behind one week for testing due to her being gone due to a death in the family. So she said that if I got an invite to take the TEAS elsewhere, to do it and then contact her so that she can tell me where to send it. All I remember from Cypress is that we should get an email by Dec 12 or so and to call the school if we don’t. But I don’t remember what they said as far as the TEAS. I guess I’m wondering if denial letters also get sent when invites for TEAS get sent. Anyway, I’d appreciate any feedback from anyone. Thanks!

ebay Has the pdf books for cheap, the only one expensive is the lab book which is only the hard copy . I bought the California Nursing practice book hard copy from eBay and the nursing process concepts and application book hard copy from ecampus.com

Can I ask if you also received the syllabus ‘coz I didn’t. So I’ll wait for it before purchasing anything.

Great, thanks.

So started searching for the books. I also got “Physical examination and health assessment (7th ed)”. I hope it’s fine. And I have Publication manual of the american psychological association (6th ed). I really hope they accept previous book editions.

Hi y’all! Happy New Years. I’m looking forward to mingling w y’all. I haven’t ordered anything and I still haven’t received anything. By reading the posts, it looks like y’all have figured it out that our books are ebooks. I wasn’t aware either. Doesn’t anyone want to send me their pdf copy of the books and I’ll pay for half of whatever you paid?? For those who haven’t purchased, does anyone want to buy one and send it to me and I’ll buy another and send it to you?? If so, let me know. I’m not sure how much the books are going for, but maybe we can all help ea other out that way, lol.

The books don’t need to be ebook, it’s just a cheaper way, some books don’t have pdf form. I only have the physical examination and health assessment 8th Edition and American health association pdf. The other books are hard copies which I haven’t received yet ; I already had dosage book. I’ll send you those two books I mentioned if you give me your email .

Do you mind if I ask how much did it cost you for the ebooks & books you purchased?

A lot of the books were less than $20, the pdf for physical health 8th edition was $5, the American psychological association $2 on eBay, search eBay, cheggs , Amazon and ecampus.com, book rental is another option.

I noticed the syllabus doesn’t mention the nurse pack, it just mentions a pen light and stethoscope.
