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....

Are we allowed to swap clinical sites if both students agree? Also, any recommendations as to what we need for uniforms? Are white shoes mandatory? I know we have to order atleast one set from that website, but is there anything else we should know?

Some people tried to do that but they didn’t allow it. You get what you get ??‍♀️ Black leather shoes are mandatory. I have 4 sets (long story) but I would buy two sets of scrubs because you will be wearing this everyday on campus. The dean will tell you specifics exactly what she wants you to have. The jacket isn’t required but I think it’s a good thing to have around. It’s pretty thin and light but I like it. You can’t wear it to clinical though.

I'm guessing by leather, it means like water resistant type material, right? And do you mean the white jacket or the black jacket? Are we not allowed to wear sweaters at clinicals at all? Even with a monogram? I guess we get all these answers during orientation. I just wanna be prepared as possible.

Yes water resistant type. Black jacket. Lab coats can be worn to clinical only. They will tell you everything in regards to uniforms at orientation.

I took both of those classes hprs patho/pharm and now it won't count as credit cause it's RNSG.
