Mira Costa / Palomar Fall 2018 RN program

Evelynstory · Apr 22, 2018

Hello everyone! I still remember being as anxious (and as excited as you guys were when I was accepted) I am finishing up my second semester at Palomar college nursing program and to be honest, It is the most difficult, yet most enjoyable times of my life as a student. So my cohort started with 40 students (usually they accept 36-37) but my cohort had some of the most competitive score points ever so they made an exception. Just a tip, if you are an alternate, MAKE SURE YOU ANSWER ANY CALLS especially if it is a 760 area code (when someone who is accepted gives up the spot, they literally call everyone on the alternate list and who ever answers first would get that spot)
Good luck to you guys and let me know if you have any questions!!!

Thanks for your input. I'm sure we are all excited and nervous at the same time, at least I am lol . Where have you guys been doing your clinicals at?

Evelynstory so first semester you have Palomar Medical Hospital, Scripps (Encinitas or green), or Tri city. Second semester you have Peds(Kaiser), Palomar or scripps for Med surg, and Kaiser or Tri City for OB.

Is there anyone who still hasn't heard anything from Palomar? I haven't heard anything good or bad yet and just want to make sure I'm not the only one. Emailed them today, but haven't received a response yet!

I haven't heard anything yet either. Stressing out over here but trying to stay positive!

Hi all! Does anybody know what happens when you accept a seat at Palomar? Are you not allowed to retract that if need be? I was accepted to Palomar and I am an alternate for MiraCosta. MiraCosta is my first choice but I don't want to lose my spot at Palomar if I end up not making it into Fall as an alternate for MCC.

Would like to know the answer to this as well!! I am still deciding. I would like to attend palomar and Mira costas orientation before deciding...

For those of you that applied to Palomar, did you include your humanities class on your application? I'm planning to take one in the fall but have all of my pre-requisites done so I just put "In Progress" on my application. I tried calling and emailing them to ask if that was okay, but never heard back. It says that it doesn't count for points, but I wasn't sure if it was required for the application to be considered.

I didn't t include that on the application, they don't count it towards your points or prerequisites. You will need it to get the aADN so is good I'll be taking in the fall. I have a 2 classes from their humanities section from my AS already so hopefully it counts for theirs too.

I'm still awaiting any email as well. For those who have received an email, what was the email address? I wante to check my spam folder just in case. However, i'm not even totally positive that my application was received since I mailed it the day before the deadline.
