Fall 2020 El Centro Nursing Program Applicants

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to start a new thread for Fall 2020 applicants at El Centro, since I didn't find one already here. Let's see if we can help eachother out and answer some questions for eachother. Currently, I have 35 points, but will be applying with about 40, I believe. I'm wondering if that is competitive? Also, I need to get my physical, titers, and vaccines, but don't have health insurance. Any ideas where I can get them done at a decent price? I found a website but I am not sure if they will accept stuff from there....

I got Into Northlake with 33 points, and 91.7% on the HESI. CONGRATS to everyone ?

I unfortunately didn’t get in apparently I had less points than I thought. The cut off was 31 points in case some people didn’t know.

I also didn’t get accepted, but wait listed. I think it was my HESI score. I had 33 points.
congratulations to everyone accepted!

Yeah I was pretty much waitlisted too. If you had 33 points I’m wondering why you didn’t get in if the cut off was 31 points. I thought I had 33 points but I guess they didn’t take my pharmacology.

They use the HESI cumulative score as the tiebreaker if someone has the same points

I took pathophysiology in December just like he asked me to. But I still didn’t get in. So not sure why. I will try again in May which I will have more points, because I’m taking pharmacology now.

I know there were some issues with the HPRS/RNSG patho/pharm depending on when you took the class because they updated it in July. So I think if you took them before July they counted as HPRS but if they were after they changed it in July it had to be the RNSG ones. I hope that helps. People decline and drop out all the time so keep your chin up because a spot very well could open up!

Also I think each campus has its own cut off so it may be 33 at one campus and 31 at another.

Don't give up!

Hey guys!

Congratulations to everyone who made it!

I got my acceptance email yesterday around 5pm. I was also accepted into Mountain View's nursing program and I'll be doing my program there. I hope by me not accepting this El Centro offer, it'll go to someone else who is trying to get in.

Good luck! ?

Total points: 36

HESI score: 87%

I'm in the same boat. I'm stuck between convenience of travel and length of program. North Lake would be literally less 10 minutes from my house but 2 years and Brookhaven is a little further away but its 16 months. Anybody who's reading what do you think I should do?

I've heard Mountain View has a better setup and graduation rate than El Centro since El Centro was in all that state trouble a few years ago. I would do Mountain View also if you're going to be doing the Texas Tech BSN bridge as well. That's another reason why I'm leaning towards Brookhaven.
