Just thought I'd toss out a friendly note that Mt. SAC (city of Walnut) has finally REOPENED applications to their ADN program starting SPRING 2014. Those that apply right now up until the last date which I think is somewhere in October will be applying for spring of 2014, and so on. It was closed for about a year to a year and a half due to switching acceptance systems from Lottery-based to Multi-Criteria Screening. The main reason for the closure was to ensure that every person left on the lottery system had gotten into the program before switching to the new one (makes it fair on part of those that have been waiting).
The multi-criteria screening is basically like the point system. You get a certain number of points based on your core requisite GPA, overall GPA, hospital experience, any degrees, and so on. Some of your points come from your core-requisite GPA (anatomy, physiology, and microbiology) which is 40 points, then next is your score on the HESI test which is a max of 30, and then your overall GPA/if you hold a bachelors which is another 10 each. There are a couple others but they give less than 10 points. You can google the Mt. SAC ADN program and look at the specifics yourself and how many points you have.
Some quick notes:
They accept 60 students every semester (fall and spring) but they can accept up to 90 depending on the budget (but of course in these days, it'll most likely stay at 60). There is a 4 day mandatory orientation, ALL day (no lie...) prior to the start of the semester where all accepted students AND alternates must attend. If you need clarity on anything, call the nursing department and they'd definitely give you more of a heads up than I have done.
So yeah, good luck to you all and hopefully last long enough for you guys to see me in third/fourth semester
Hey guys, I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. But it's back to the grind. Has anyone taken Psychology 10, statistics for Behavioral Science? If you did how was it? I have tried twice to take regular Statistics and it is just difficult concept for me. If you have any input please advise me. Thanks!! I need this class to transfer.

Not sure what psych 10 is at your school but i've taken intro to psych and i'm currently taking developmental psych. They are both really easy and interesting classes. As long as you read the book and compare it to the class notes you should be fine. I took statistics as well. It really isn't a difficult subject but it totally depends on the teacher. Sometimes I would leave class so confused about what we learned but there are a lot of good youtube videos that help! Good luck, I'm sure you will do fine :)

I'm kind of freaking out about work now!
Wow! That's a pretty hectic schedule! Hopefully you will be able to work weekends or nights and not both! Will you be working full time or part time?

I need to work as close to FT as possible. I'm part of a union so making schedule changes is always complicated, but I'm going to try. I'm in a serious bind now

Hi Bree. Are you saying that week 4-7clinicals will be on tues and wed from 0630-1430? Maybe you can try to work part time with your employer, that way you can keep your benefits and sanity. Maybe you can work either an early shift or an afternoon shift on Thursday for 6 hours and work on all day Friday and 6 hours on Saturday. That will be 20 hours. Idk I tried. It's gonna be hard!! But I think you can do it!!

That's how it seems. The person who sent it said there are no weekend clinicals in first semester. I'm praying my job can accommodate me some how, but I work in a clinic so we have office hours. First semester seems kind of nuts! Thanks for the encouragement
