Thank you. I hope and pray that we'll get in as well.

Good Luck! 💫 I was so nervous, I did not have all As. I had back up plan to go to Clovis Adult School for LVN in case I will be not selected. Keep my fingers crossed 🤞 for you, guys!

I believe the LVN Cohort is a different time frame as well based on what I read in the FCC website I believe they start in the Summer ?

I'm sure more emails will be sent out, I haven't heard of anyone receiving alternate emails. It's not the 10th yet keep those positive vibes up 💕

I received an acceptance email for Fresno City College on Friday, April 4 for fall 2025.

I had a 4.0 GPA in all the nursing pre-requisites, 87.3% on my TEAS, a non-science BA from an accredited university, and I will be finishing all the classes for my Pre-Allied Health and psychology associate degrees this Summer at FCC. I had 87 points total for the nursing application and a 3.7 GPA overall. I have no medical/healthcare background. I kind of feel like this is a sign from above telling me, yes, become a nurse!

I also got into the College of the Sequoias for fall 2025, which I am leaning towards because they appear to be the more inexpensive choice between the two and they seem to have a strong program.

Now, I am trying to figure out two things:

-how will I pay for health insurance (I am an older student with no one supporting me; no dependents either)

-if I need to have a part-time job, where could I work that would give me basic health insurance for part-time hours

Do you know the price difference? Do you mean health insurance like for doctor appoints and check ups?

I think whoever got accepted into FCC for fall and Spring, we should make a facebook! I've seen other cohorts do so. I think it's a good idea.

Both are $46 a credit, but from what I have read on both websites for each school, but California BON website it lists the costs for ADN programs in CA, Fresno City College is over $10,000 (tuition and books), while the College of the Sequoias is around $3,500 (tuition only). I need to talk to counselors at each school to make sure I understand the price difference before I make a decision.

Yes, health insurance as in check ups, appointments, emergencies etc. I don't qualify for Medi-Cal and I don't think either schools offer student health insurance.

I hate to say this, but I think my financial situation is going to play a big part in which school I choose--but I am grateful.

I don't think the cost are accurate. I was wait listed for COS and I did the RN mandatory meeting and the tuition was like over 6k. While Fresno city the updated tuition for 2023 amounts about around 7k. Not really a difference, but you always want to put into consideration distance. What's closer to you.

have you tried covered California that's what I go through and you will either pay 0 or maybe up to 10 bucks. Last year I paid 0 bucks, this year I pay 10 a month. Of course there's a copay but it's only 35 bucks. Depending on how much you make for work.
