They called me too. Haven't received any email. Also, I got accepted by Southwest College. So now I am so confused about which one should I go to. Do you guys have any idea about Harbor vs Southwest?

I graduated from SW Nursing program. They have RN to BSN bridge programs too. From my understanding, my cohort all passed the NCLEX on the first try ? .

I'm on this thread for my cousin but I'm currently working at Kaiser as an RN.

Congratulations to you? Did you start your going to clinic in your first semester also? And that's really good you are working at Kaiser now. Did you apply there with your ADN? I will see, the harbor is closer to my house. So I am going to think about it more and make my last decision today☺️

Thank you for answering me. The reason I accepted their offer Harbor is closer to my house and also their rank.

Thank you ?.

Yes, we had clinicals during first semester.

Yes, I applied with my ADN. However, I was in the CSUDH BSN bridge program during the Summer. Unfortunately, life happened post graduation which is why I had to put it on hold. That's something to look into if it's in your plans.

Yes, I live closer to harbor ( it's like 10 minutes) but SW isn't that far either.

Best of luck. God bless you. Remember, choosing either one is still a good choice. ? Congratulations ??

harbor is ranked the 3rd best ADN program in CA, but it also depends what you're looking for. I think distance is an important factor for a lot of people. you def don't want to spend hours driving when you could be using that time to study.

for harbor, the clinical sites include little company of mary, kaiser, harbor UCLA, and torrance memorial. I'm not sure about southwest.

Thank you for all the information. Congratulations to you? I saw you created a facebook page that's really good☺️ I am going to join but first I need to create a facebook address ☺️

Did anyone get an email regarding information for the background check? I got my acceptance letter and in it states that information on how to complete the background check is in the email sent by [email protected]., but I didn't receive anything about it. I just know it's supposed to be done through CastleBranch.

Hi everyone,

Do you guys know what is the deadline for the background check if we get acceptance from the alternate list? Is it the same due by December 11?
