Fall 2020 El Centro Nursing Program Applicants

[AMA1991]

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....

Hey guys! I got accepted to this upcoming spring semester and will start next month (January). It comes soo fast! I used the Elsevier HESI book to study because the test is through Elsevier. Good luck everyone!

That’s good you did better this time. I made an 87 cumulative last time but I’m aiming for at least a 90 this time around.

That's what I got, an 87.20% ☹️. Can I ask why you want to retake it? Is it just to get a higher grade?

87 is a great score! I like winsavin am curious to know why retake it?

Yes I just want a better grade to better my chances. Since El Centro goes by each section I would probably get 9 points total just from the HESI and that’s not going to get me far.

Sorry if this is blurry but from my scores here I wouldn’t get very many points from it. Hopefully the third time’s a charm!

Looks like your reading is fine. Maybe you could focus on the grammar, vocab, math and ap. Looks like if you can push in those areas, you'll be okay.

Yeah I know but I’ve been studying the reading comprehension questions and I’ve been getting the majority of them wrong ? so I guess I do need to work on it.

Hello,

I’m taking mine on the 15th so I’m cutting it close as well. The HESI is the determining factor if I apply or not based on my results and also if they take my HPRS pharmacology. Good luck on your HESI!

Hello Everyone! I am new to the group, I will be dropping off my application on Friday for Fall 2020 ASN program. I applied last semester for Spring 2020 and was not accepted because my vaccines weren’t completed in time. It was devastating BUT I have 100% compliance on CastleBranch this time around!
