Grossmont RN Refresher course information

U.S.A. California

Published

I am an unemployed RN with less than 1-year experience looking to register for the Grossmont RN refresher course in San Diego. So far what I've read on this site has been promising. If anyone has taken this course I'd really like to know your experiences with the theory and clinical portions. I also wanted to know what areas have you found jobs in since finishing the course.

Also I will be commuting for LA county for this program. I wanted to know if there were other commuters in previous classes and what they did for housing. Also if you live in San Diego what are affordable areas to live in to be near the classes and clinical site. I would ideally like to rent rooms during the week and go home on the weekends if the schedule allows.

Hi Sanaalam! I'm actually thinking of doing this program as well. Hopefully we can get some answers! I'm just north of San Diego so I would be commuting. I'm curious as to whether or not people have gotten hired after this program (whether new graduate or regular RN positions) or not. I graduated December of 2012.

Hi sanaalam and CaliRN13!

Did you enroll for RN refresher course at Grossmont Health occupations center? I enrolled in that course today. I'm looking for a room for rent in the area and hope I can get some information about that, too. Hope to see you guys there.

Hi! I have not enrolled yet. I'm still trying to figure out whether or not I will be staying in CA :/ I guess it wouldn't hurt to do it.

Hi I enrolled as well yesterday. I spoke with some one at admissions and asked how the refund policy works if we decide not to commit. We have till the 2nd class day and you need to pay $25 cancellation fee. I am still considering whether I should make the move and spend the money. I could do the Azusa Pacific program that starts in Feb in LA so I'm on the fence. Its a shorter program but I woudn't have to spend so much money on rent.

Thanks for reply. I still cannot find a place for rent around there. I agree with you that the rent cost a lot of money. I hope I can find the affordable one and I have only about three weeks to find it before the class start.
