Nice. My post office didn't open until 9 so I didn't get time stamped until 9:05

CONGRATS! Would you be commuting or moving?

I applied to SRJC & Mendo. Didn’t make the lottery for Mendo, but still hopeful. We should find out about SRJC next month and they are selecting applicants for Spring 2021, Fall 2021 and Spring 2022.

I will not be applying to NVC ADN program. I did look into it and talked to a school counselor about it. What I was told, it is a first-come, first-serve for those who qualify. If you got your prerequisites completed, the minimum GPA, grades, and TEAS score, and CNA license then you'll get a spot till they're filled. I assume they'll waitlist a few afterward.

I have met a few people who got into the program and graduated.

If you're applying to NVC, I would suggest applying to Solano Community College too. They're a lottery system, but their requirements are very similar; no CNA licensing.

I would also suggest applying to a couple BSN programs such as CSU East Bay. All the CSU programs are very competitive. You did need to have a pretty high GPA, grades, and TEAS scores. But some programs give you bonus points for veterans, healthcare experience, school attended, etc. They are significantly more expensive than an ADN program; you'll probably spend more in the first semester than the whole ADN program.

If any of you have a bachelors already, do not forget the direct entry programs (MSN and NP) or accelerated BSN programs. These are significantly more expensive than the BSN or ADN.

Oof! That’s quite the commute but now I don’t feel as bad as my commute to NVC is also an hour (without traffic).
