El Centro Fall 2015

Published

Hello All!! I know it is VERY early to be thinking about this but the process to get in takes quite a long time. I wanted to make a thread to help us all get through the application process together, share problems, feelings, etc. :)

The cut off was 26 with hesi cumulative of 440. Kinda sad I didn't get in, but I will try again.

Me too, I didn't get in. But we still have hope of getting in if anyone declines.

I am declining my spot because I am picking Brookhaven. So don't lose hope

Hello ALL!! Congratulations on everyone who got in, and those who didn't don't lose HOPE! I am finishing my 2nd semester right now and not too long ago I was in your shoes. I had someone in my class who got a phone call at 9 pm the night before orientation for 1st semester and got told to attend because he got in! So people will turn down spots and the school will call/email/send a letter to you.

Firstly, take this summer and ENJOY IT! :)

Secondly, El Centro is very unorganized with a lot of last minute things to do. Keep in mind with that and let your jobs etc know what to expect soon.

It is doable, hard and very stressful but doable. The professor who was teaching first semester when I started is leaving unfortunately. So I cannot tell you anything about your lecture teacher.

Your schedule will be as follows: Lecture once a week,PNC (professionalism class) once a week, Skills 2 times a week, and of course clinical.

If you have the option chose the VA hospital for clinical, you will actually get experience there ( I didn't chose this blindly), the other ones are all nursing homes!

If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me!

Also, DO NOT BUY THE STUPID book package from the school! Rather buy the ebooks only or buy your own used books! I made the mistake of buying ebook and print and I barely use the print.

I have some books in PDF format if anyone wants to purchase for cheap. You can put this on your laptop, tablet, even open it on your phone.

Good luck guys and be prepared to work hard! You all can do this!!!!! :)

Also, keep up with your shot stuff because SentryMD sucks. They will not remind you when you need shots etc like they should, so keep track of when those are due.

Thanks for all of your advice! :) i'm curious to what you mean by last minute things to do. Are you talking about before school starts or throughout the semester? It's kind of worrisome because I've heard from plenty of people how unorganized it is. Yikes! Thanks, again! :)
