LVN Program at Yuba College

[Mountaingrl21]

Hi there. I am on the wait list for Yuba College LVN. I was wondering if anyone has hear this month about being accepted for the FALL semester? My friend who is in the program heard in May last year. It is about my time for my number to come up, so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I just got turned down for Sierra's RN, so i'm getting a little nervouse. I am waiting to hear if I get into the LVN at Sierra, hopefully this week. AH! It is so nerve racking!

Good luck Mountaingrl21! I know how hard it is to get accepted anywhere in Northern CA so I feel for you. What's your number at Yuba LVN? I'm going to apply for San Joaquin Delta's LVN program in the Fall. It's a lottery and they only accept ~30 student (and have hundreds of apps) so I'm not holding my breath. In the meantime I'm plugging away at my prereqs for the RN programs.

I am #50 on the wait list, so if enough people have gotten into other programs and decided to do something else, MAYBE then I will get in this time. I have all of my pre-requisites for the RN also, so i'm waiting on that. Got turned down Saturday for the lottery at Sierra College. The lottery is killing me!!! Well, good luck at San Juaquin's program, hope you get in! I haven't ever heard anything about it. May as well get those pre-requisites out of the way for the RN while you are waiting. I have run out of classes to take, so i'm going to get my EMT this Fall if I haven't gotten in....

Are you on the waiting list for their ADN program too?

[prenurstudent]

No, I didn't apply for the ADN program, I am about to start the LVN program, and after completing the LVN program I plan to continue with RN step up program.

I too am on the RN Program @ Yuba waitlist. I believe #100 something..

Received letter last week to schedule the HESI test on 6/11.

Anyone else taking test then?

[Mountaingrl21]

I am starting the LVN at Yuba in August. I take the HESI June 1st though. They are doing it at different times? I guess it is just on the math and grammar portion of the study guide, no sciences, so that's cool...

[darengibo]

Really? I was told to study everything but physics from the guide.

Where did you hear it was just math and grammar?

[Mountaingrl21]

One of the 2 head ladies ( I don't think you are supposed to name names on this ) told me that for the LVN test, we will only be tested on the reading - grammar and math . For the RN test I think then you get tested on the sciences. Who told you to study everything but the physics?? I have called and e-mailed getting the same response on what to study, but it was the same lady answering my question both times. I want to make sure that is correct! I would hate to get there and be surprised...
