Los Angeles County School of Nursing and Allied Health - Fall 2019

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi there,

Has anyone applied to LAC School of Nursing for Fall 2019? I thought I would get this post going so we can stay informed and help each other through this waiting process! What are your points that you calculated?

Do you know if most of the students wore clog-type shoes or lace-up type shoes? Did some have cloth-based shoes (not mesh, but a softer material instead of leather or plastic)?

(Slip-Resistant, EVA, etc.)

I've seen students use clogs, Nurse mates shoes, and sketchers shoes. I haven't seen my classmates use cloth-based shoes.

I’m thinking of ordering the Littmann Cardiology IV...with a non chill ring and smaller ear pieces...

What is everyone else ordering? Feedback? I’ve been spending days looking m/researching different types and brands.

@OvercastI went with the stethoscope that the school recommended.

I noticed the Littmann classic 3 has he same replacement parts as the Cardiology 4, but I can’t seem to find a nonchill bell ring for them (only the Cardiology 3 and Xlassic 2)....

Any feedback? I also was thinking of ordering a non contact thermometer, penlight, pocket organizer and some other stuff (obviously a blood pressure cuff)...

and we still have to order that other kit listed on the link they gave us at info. day? The kit with gloves, etc.

The lightweight II? I was thinking of getting a lightweight as well but the acoustics weren’t as good so did some further research. Interesting. The lightweight part is really attractive. I’ll have to think about that. Thanks.

I think I’m going with the littmann classic 3

Why specifically the Classic III? I’m all ears.

Anyone ordering the Cardiology Master? I’m thinking about ordering that.

Does anyone know why this school isn’t ACEN accredited? For some reason I thought it was. Crap.

@Overcast Hey, did you find out anything more about ACEN accreditation? I am assuming this may affect those pursuing their BSN/MSN or applying to work at certain hospitals.

Thanks,

p.s. I have been following this thread for a while now, and tomorrow will be my chance to apply for the Spring 2020 cohort. Congrats to all you guys who got accepted!

They have a collaboration with CSULA and are in the middle of trying to coordinate something with CSUN so I’m thinking pursuing the BSN within he Cal State community shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t think Western Governers cares either. Not sure about going for a Masters/Doctorate.

@CONAH-sn

I think I ordered most of what I needed, but I have a lasting question...

So the students and/or staff nurses being in a nursing bag carrying all their work stuff? Are there lockers? Room for a work bag, lunch bag and a spare pair of clothes? Have you seen staff/students shower after shifts? Do they wear shower shoes?

I got a pocket organizer and stethoscope clip, etc etc because I’m uncertain as what to expect.

I also ordered a clipboard with a calculator, etc.

feedback?

Thank you VERY much!

Anyone know where we can buy the kit that was mentioned at preorientation? She said it included syringes and such. I went through my packet and I can’t seem to find it
