Hi everyone. I'm entering into my 3rd semester in the Pierce nursing program and would love to answer and questions!

Lets say someone who got accepted to theinspot at pierce before May 22nd (I heard this was the deadline to accept or deny your spot) but they changed their mind and wanna go to a different rn program, will they notify the person whose the next alternate? Or by lottery?

[lyon22t]

Yes, they will. When I went to orientation there people who didn't show up and they gave their spots away. However, if you have a number greater than 15 on the waiting list I wouldn't count on getting a spot. There are only a specific number of hospitals that take students. There are so many schools with nursing students that it's hard to get spots for everyone. In my first semester, our class barely got a contract with west hills. Some of the hospitals are also pretty far away. Burbank, Mission Hills etc. Thye don't let you chose the hospitals you get assigned to either. You are generally there for your first semester from 630 am till 3 pm Thursday's and fridays

I believe they usually call. It's by whoever is next in line for the spot by number.

Do u know for lvn to rn when they inform them. When do the lvn start . Do u get Christmas off and if u do apprx what day till what day.

[girl1984]

So many questions lll

[lyon22t]

We have Christmas off. It follows the schools calendar as far as breaks go. For the Lvn program the classes you will be taking are different. You will def be taking psychiatric nursing and med surge 3 but I'm not sure what else. The classes are split up for you guys. First semester usually takes gerontology, pharmacology, psych, and adult health 1. Second semester is adult health 2 and psychiatric nursing

[girl1984]

Any advice for nursing school?

My number is 44. I was told to subtract by 30 studebts whove been accepted. So Im good cuz 44-39 is 14?

[lyon22t]

14 is a good number but it just means 14 people would have to drop or not show up for orientation. I think we started off with 42 ish people and now we have 37. You might be lucky :)

Could I ask you how many hours per week do you work? How many hours do you recommend working to get good grades and not get so overwhelmed? Thank you 😊
