Golden West College ADN Spring 2023

Updated:   Published

It seems like every cohort/application cycle has one of these pages. I wanted to start a new thread for the Spring 2023 cycle so we can keep each other updated during the application period and ask questions. Best wishes to everyone applying!

I got the same email, but I'm feeling skeptical of their program. So I might go with another school that accepted me already. 

Why are you skeptical

Hey guys! I’m getting my drug test done on Oct 12 with Quest clinic…do you think that’s enough time to get my results back before the deadline on Oct. 17th? I’m stressing about getting everything done before the deadlines LOL ?

@yammzzz I’d call Quest just to confirm, but it sounds like a reasonable amount of time?

I did my drug test on 10/5 and just got it back this morning. So you should be right on time, hoping theres no delays or anything ?

Hey all,
Tomorrow is CNSA GWC Pre-nursing Q&A on Zoom. Flyers are posted in the STEM Center, scan the code and you should be good to go for the Q&A tomorrow if you want to go and get some answers from current GWC Nursing students.

According to admissions, as long as we do the drug test before deadline then we are good to go...

Hello everyone, 
I just wanna ask a quick question (really unrelated to Spring 2023). Do you guys know if the critical thinking course (G110) with pass/no pass grade would be acceptable or it has to be a "letter" grade?

Thanks!

@HH GioChea I think it has to be a letter grade because when you fill in the application, it asks you what letter grade you have. But also if you’re taking it in another school, look at the course equivalency if it’s accepted to that course or not.

Got it.

Thanks so much. I'll confirm with the school.

Yea thats more than enough time. If you have a prescription for anything being tested I would fax the medical officer your prescription documents, her fax is in the email attachment, just to speed up the process.

Pass/no pass is fine but it will be equivalent to a C. It may affect your transfer eligibility or competitiveness.

Second only has 1 lab/NEST day and it's about 3.5 Hours. So in total, 2nd semester is on campus for 2 days, 1 for lecture, 1 for NEST/Lab.

First Semester has 2 NEST days during the first 5 weeks of their semester. When clinical starts for them, they also only have 1 NEST/Lab day per week.

Hey Kenji, do you have anywhere we can ask you questions? I cant send messages on here because I don't have platinum and I know the UI for allnurses is kind of annoying.
