Los Angeles County of Nursing - Fall 2014

Published

This is for those of us that will be applying to LA county college of nursing and allied health's fall 2014 semester. I will be submitting my application for the basic RN program tomorrow... Yayyy!!! I am beyond excited, I can't believe this time has finally come!

This is text message from one of nursing student's in County , I don't give the name so I think the student wouldn't mind that I am sharing:

"Hope I didn't scare you off. I've grown to hate this program. I was so excited when.I started but its been the hardest thing I've done and it is all hanging in the balance right now. I hope you get into a school that will be right for your needs. Even if its this one. Study early and stay super OCD organized.. if you fall behind or.lose your things, you're screwed."

wow, LACC' schedule is pretty tough. What LACC nursing student say about the program?

Just every one from County seems struggle a lot. I know that nursing will be super hard and I am ready for this journey. . But really scared any way...

I believe that County's students struggle because County's program doesn't have extended classroom skill lab hours to prepare students for clinicals. That is why LACC's schedule is so long because every Mon and Thur after lectures on Pharm and Nursing Found/Med-Surg we have two-three hours of lab skills where we practice on dummies and each other to prepare for clinicals, which are done on Tue ad Wed.

Ah, well, every program has its advantages and disadvantages, just be happy you got in and do your best. We'll get through this together :-).

This sounds familiar from some students from previous year threads. I presume it is tough because they don't have enough preparation for the clinical portion so they are just thrown to the wolves.

But you know, everyone is different. Some people struggle, some do good. It is all individual and don't let anyone scare you away from anything in life. Take one step at a time and that's all you can do. Why stress about something that hasn't even started. Relax and enjoy your summer :-) Stay positive, that will get you through anything in life

Thank you for your post! Honestly, I'm tired of people trying to scare me lol. I know that prerequisites are nothing compare to nursing school. But I remember how anatomy students scared me )))). I never met anyone who said that nursing is easy. It is not supposed to be. We will take care of real people! I am ready to give up my fun life so I can graduate and get my RN license eventually.

Agreed. The butterflies are definitely fluttering. I think we all realize that we have a challenge ahead of us. For me, it is one of the most life altering moves I think I will ever make. I'm trying not to over think what it's going to be like, but I do want to be prepared as possible. Let's all stay positive and continue to support each other. Like someone else said, we're in this together. :geek:
