El Centro Spring 2015

Published

Hi all,

I am starting a tread for all the students that will be applying for spring 2015 ADN program at El Centro. Please join and give any info that you might have. I want to be successful as well as everyone else trying to apply.

Greetings everyone! I just wanted to reach out to everyone and let you know that I received my denial letter (last week). Like others, I was also very disappointed & heartbroken, however I know God is still God and everything happens for a reason & I will not give up. I applied with 27 pts and a cumulative hesi score of 432. I will try and score some more points this summer, and re-apply for the Spring 2015 semester. I just want to wish everyone luck with their application and as a reminder, keep being positive and never give up on your dreams!

Ahhh. Tricia. I was wondering about you. You will get in for the next semester!

OK so this is where I currently am at. I started off with micro, stat and engl 1302 this spring big mistake for me. I had to let one class go and it was micro. I am currently taken Engl lit for maymester (working my skin off my phalanges here tons of work). Found out late that they had switched the deadline of August 31 to July 15th (my fault for not keeping up)so I scrambled to sign up for hesi a2 at el centro and all the spots were taken. Thankfully a lovely person helped me through their 5test email and got me a spot on hidden date that is not available to the public. So if you are having trouble like me email DO NOT CALL nobody answered I left a detailed message and still nobody called back sadly(might work for you). So summer 1 I am taking Tech writing and College math. I recently got my Health provider BLS Cpr card.

The only classes I need to take after summer 1 is Micro and chem. I plan to take Chem this fall at NLC with Pat Thompson heard she is good. I am going to take Micro next summer with Serra at NLC I had dropped out of her class when she added a presentation to her already rigorous class. I was already inundated with my other two classes.

Not 100% sure but I don't think we take classes for the nursing program during summer so i plan to take micro summer 2015. I would not want to take it in the Nursing program second semester(YIKES!).

So once summer 1 is over and I hopefully pass College algebra and tech writing I should have 26 points (hope its enough) before the Hesi a2 exam. All I'm missing from the packet is the Physical exam, Titters or immunizations and the Hesi a2. I hope I pass the hesi if I don't i do not know if i will be able to get another chance at taking the hesi before the deadline.

The physical exam forms they talk about in the packet, are those given to us so our physician can fill them out or are the forms the physicians provide OK?

I would love to hear from everybody see where they are at, see if I can help in any way or if anybody can help me. GOOD LUCK!

Lol. I took basic health skills with you last winter. I don't think I called you by your first name in class. But yes, it all worked out the way I wanted. All I have to do now is figure out my work schedule.

I am planning on applying for 2015. But after reading this i am a bit confused. I will be taking HESI A2 on 06/09 so i don't have my score for that yet (hoping to do good). i have taken HPRS 1204 but not 1202 so i only have 2 points there. My prereq gpa is a 3.3 giving me 4 points. My next question is what are support classes? i haven't figures out how many points because of that. unfortunately i havent taken alot of the courses toward the BSN. i only have 3 points in that. Also i didn't know anything about a cutoff score? i didn't read anywhere on the application that there was a minimum point score. if someone could directly to where it says, i would appreciate it.

Support courses are Bio 2402, Bio 2420, Psyc 2314, and a fine art elective.

I can email you a copy of the point system if you would like. Feel free to email me [email protected] I will try to help you the bestI can.

I am very nervous about the Hesi A2

I have not been able to study for the Hesi I take it monday. I just finished a Maymester class and have two Summer 1 classes. Any studying tips to cram? What should I refresh on? Where there Roman numerals or Temp/Meters/liquid conversions? Do they give you formulas for anything? Is A&P over bones, muscles or over processes like the heart flow to the body? Which test does not have multiple choice questions?
