Hi, 

I’m looking into applying in the January cohort. I attended the zoom meeting and it seemed like a great school choice. However, I haven’t really heard much from current students and how the program is going. I agree the no NCLEX scores make it a little more difficult to commit. My next choice for school is West Coast but I’ve also heard mixed reviews. 

Read my reply to kev that I just wrote. He basically asked the same thing u did

There aren’t any NCLEX scores becuase the very first cohort hasn’t graduated yet. This program is that new. I’m in cohort 3 and To be honest the first term was very bumpy but we are not in term 2 and it has gotten a lot better. I’m sure as time goes the school will become better, just got to cut them some slack since it is a smaller college. I’m an Lvn already so I’ll be very blunt and just say all nursing schools are self taught either way lmao it’s really what YOU as the student put in. Pay attention to lectures, don’t miss any class or clinical days, study hard and manage your time wisely and you’ll be fine. Being in covid times also doesn’t make it any easier with zoom lectures and everything online compared to when I went to Lvn school in 2011. Times have changed. For me with prior medical experience the material isn’t too hard to grasp it’s just a lot of readings and learning time management  but my classmates who have no medical experience are having a tougher time. Which is to be expected, it’s alot to learn. I chose pacific college becuase it’s the fastest ADN program in Southern California right now and the cheapest (for a private school). The ADN program is 14 months and then if u choose you can go straight for bachelors (an additional year) after you take and pass NCLEX. So you can start working as an RN already while bachelors is all online. That’s what sold me. Everyone is different but I highly suggest looking into pacific. You’ll have great classmates that you bond with and y’all will help each other through it. Good luck!

Appreciate the advice, very helpful. I have a bachelors so its either applying to ABSN out of state or finding a private ADN like Pacific (as you mentioned its one of the only ones around). My friend thats in the last semester went to Santa Ana College for the first 3 semesters but dropped out due to a family death. She had to finish her last semester at Pacific and says the quality of learning is much, much worse than what they get at Santa Ana college. If you have any other tips or information about the program, your professors, or the school in general, Id appreciate any advice:) Not much info online since its a new school, so these couple Allnurses form are all I got. Thanks again.

Yeah everyone’s experience will be different and community college RN programs are overall “harder” which is why they’re so stressful to get into in the first place but I don’t regret my decision at all. I like pacific college becuase it doesn’t give me the “fail a test and you’ll fail the semester” vibes that other schools drill us with. Our med surg instructor sally saites is amazing, she works with you if you’re struggling and is very thorough in her lectures. She’s also very approachable and understanding. All the professors I’ve had so far have been great, no complaints about them really. 

@Alinaphout, Thank you! tbh, I didn't feel it was easy nor hard, the main thing is finish your pre reqs with A's, and make sure your TEAS score is 70% or higher, and be confident when you get interviewed!

Hey Lucy , 

I am looking into Pacific RN program for next month but am very hesitant since its new. I also heard from one of the members of your cohort that its basically self taught and very unorganized.. would you recommend? Any additional tips would be greatly appreciated since theres not much info about the program ?

hello

the program is very cool. the forst semester was very unorganized . I am on the 3 cohort second semester and they got alot better . the program is new but let me tell yu something right now it is easy to get in but ince they start getting more students and thwy hav more time in the market ? they will get more expensive and harder to go in. like the rest of the other schools. so if you can get in now . do it. you need to be very fkexible with schedule . they always change teachers and achedules. clinicals are far away if you live in other are hat is not LA. most of their clinicals are in LA.  and school is in costa mesa so it is far too. good luck to u

Hey guys

I wouldn’t be able to tell you that because they place you into groups for clinicals and assign you on a specific day. You’re able to trade with another student if that specific day doesn’t work with you.

Thanks for your reply

That’s understandable. Can you tell me at least the number of days you go to clinicals or is it once a week ? 

So far it’s only been once a week 

Hello everyone,

I am looking into Pacific College RN program and was wondering what is the cost for the program? Since I have all my prerequisites completed already, how long will the program be? So far, how is the experience for those who are students there?

 

Thank you

read all the previous post it will gove ypu info there.

@lucy34

Hi thank you for your response. I called the school to ask for the tuition fee and was told it is $85,000. Is that correct? I went through the post, but did not see comments mentioning the tuition fee. I looked at the website and it shows $1,530 per credit and based on my calculations, it is way less then the $85,000.
