I'll be wearing dress pants, a neutral blouse, and a blazer. I'm thinking business casual is a safe bet for dress code!

Thank you(: I emailed to ask if there was a dress code. They said no but they'll send out extra info about orientation this weekend so maybe there will be some suggestions. I will also be wearing a blazer since it's a safe bet like you said. I'm nervous to be too casual or too dressy since this is our first impression but I know it's the anxiety getting to me and everything will be fine?

I am so glad you guys mentioned something! I would have showed up in leggings and a sweater ? I def had not even thought about what I should wear. I'm anxious because I have not received an email with further instructions.

I swear my first thought on Sunday was "nice athleisure" then I did a double-take haha.

I was worried they forgot to send me an update. I think the general lag is because Palomar is rolling acceptance with 2 days to accept/deny and they had more applications than normal. I can't imagine there will be any super important info that will come with that update since we already have the date/time/location of orientation.

What did you/other people wear? Is the dress pant/blazer combo too formal?

To everyone who got placed on standby for Palomar's Nursing Program, stay positive. ???

I already accepted my seat at MiraCosta's Program, so I'll be giving up my standby seat. This will free up a space for those who are waiting to be accepted to Palomar. ???
