Ohlone Fall 2013 RN program hopefuls

RNstudentMom · May 3, 2013

Mindistronnie, are you accepted for Fall at Ohlone as well?

mindistronnie · May 4, 2013

I was accepted for the fall. I was surprised to get in. I figured I would have lousy luck.

RNstudentMom · May 5, 2013

I was surprised too. Great, we will be classmates!

Did you also get into Chabot provisionally? Are you definitely going to Ohlone? I was going to wait and see what Chabot had to say as I would love to be in the Livermore Cohort, but Ohlone's program is so good.....decisions! And I did not expect to be in this position that is for sure.

I did get provisionally accepted for Chabot, but since there are only 10 spots for Livermore I doubt I will get in (I live in San Ramon). Ohlone is an exceptional program. I don't think Livermore has the SIM lab like Ohlone and Chabot Hayward do.

I know there are only 10 spots! It is crazy. I live in Livermore and would love one of those spots though I am not sure what my chances are. I am not sure about the SIM lab for Livermore. A friend of mine just graduated the program and we are getting together so I can pick her brain. I will keep you posted. I guess for now, I will say yes to Ohlone and wait and hear what Chabot has to say.

Great, let me know what your friend says!

LOL ShareBear, I got your friend request....I had to look up on the lottery to make sure it was you :) I kept thinking why does this name sound familiar....and then I saw "Newark" and it clicked!

RNstudentMom · May 7, 2013

Ha! I figured since we might be classmates...

mindistronnie · May 7, 2013

One way or another right? Is Chabot your first choice?

Does anyone know a little history about the waitlist process.? I am number 25 out of 56 on the waitlist. On the overall lottery list I am number 69. I thought that last year it was said at the general nursing meeting that a spot was offered up to number 80 that year, and that is usually the highest it goes. But when I met with counselor Jack this year I believe he said they only went up to number 60 this year. Does anyone have a little insight? It would be greatly appreciated. :***:

I have no idea jstrawberry. I do know that people are still waiting to hear from other programs. I am sure that people will end up relinquishing their spots because they got accepted into other schools. I am not sure if CSU East Bay has notified yet....but i had heard that they took up to spot 80 last year as well. Maybe we were at the same meeting since that is where I heard it as well. I will keep y fingers crossed for you.
