Hi everyone! I just submitted my application to LACCONAH for the Spring 2024 cohort and thought I'd start a forum for us all here. If you have any questions or would like to share your stats, feel free to leave a comment.

Oh no. I would reach out some time next week, and double check spam folders to see if maybe you missed the email.

Thank you, still nothing

Hi, I'm a 3rd semester student at CONAH. I think the program is very very good. The instructors are all full time and they care really deeply about educating good nurses. The academics are solid (our NCLEX pass rate is consistently in the high 80's to low 90s), but the real meat of the program is the clinical experience.

Most students do their clinicals at LA General, which is a Trauma 1 center that takes care of a very underserved population with a ton of comorbidities. There are a lot of complex cases, which are great to learn on. You start with 1 patient in first semester, then add another patient per semester until you're taking care of 4 pts by the time you graduate. I don't know any other schools that have this focus on progression, and CONAH has a reputation among LA hospitals for turning out nurses with excellent clinical skills.

There are a lot of shady nursing programs out there that are terribly run and are basically profit-motivated scams. Then there are others where all they care about is their NCLEX pass rate while hand waving at the clinical component. CONAH focuses on your clinical judgement and skill first and foremost, and the solid NCLEX rate just kinda comes with the territory.

It is hard. You should be prepared to work in this program and it can be stressful. But it's fair. The teachers aren't looking for reasons to fail you; they really are your biggest advocates and cheerleaders. IDK I feel like I really lucked out with this program, especially when I take in to account how cheap it is.

Hi @Ahrum just wondering,  is there any lag getting into a certain semester , I saw some ppl writing on other boards saying they were entering lvn advanced placment and they were on a waiting list to get into 3rd semester fall (after completing transition course ) but stating they would definitely  be  starting 3rd semester Spring .

Hi @Ahrum, how is the testing there like? are the tests hard and how often are you taking tests for each course?

Hi, I'm a current CONAH student, 3rd semester. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have!

Hey Ahrum, I am currently applying to CONAH. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions about the program? I wasn't able to send you a PM.
