Hi! I also received my email acceptance yesterday for Palomar! I am SO excited!!! and CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! We made it!

Congratulations!!! I received an email stating I am an alternate. I am hoping and praying I am able to get into this cohort! I will be at the meeting and will hopefully find out more then. Do you mind me asking how many points you all had? If I do not get in this time, just trying to see what I can do to boost my points. I know it varies, but it is nice to have an idea. THANK YOU!

Did you get in the program @Dcgsd? I am an alternate too for this coming semester and was wondering how many alternates they keep for each semester. I was not told what my number in line is so I don't know if I should be hopeful.

Congrats and good luck to all.

On a different subject, my kid is starting her freshman at CSUSM but is not (allowed) to take any core science classes yet. We are thinking, to speed up study, to allow apply to Polomar and see if she can take Ana, Physiology, or Micro. How hard is it to get science classes there, how is the environment there(kind of small campus I guess), and any recommendation on which professors to take those classes from? Thanks

Hey! I am a new student for Jan 2016. How was your first couple of semesters?

dsmom · Nov 27, 2015

It's a lot of work. Literally feels like hanging on a cliff :) Instructors are helpful and professional but they are strict lol

were you in the recent orientation when 1st semester students introduced themselves?

Anyway, it's fun and stressful. You just have to work hard and sleep more while you can

I was recently in the orientation. Did you speak? What is the primary text for 117 and 103? I was just reading the orientation handbook and it indicates that we need to have read Vital Signs theory (Unit II) and Safe Environment (Unit 1). I am having trouble finding which book this information is in. Do the Units correspond with the Units in the book?

The handbook says to bring Ackley and Ladwig but I don't think it is in there. I tried to find Fall 2015 syllabus online at the Palomar College library webpage but the syllabus is not available online.

I rarely have free time but this weekend I wanted to get a head start on the readings.

I think that's Potter & Perry Nursing Fundamentals. I have never had problem matching their required readings with the books that I have. I would share our syllabus but I don't know if they will change anything for your cohort, so I guess just wait? They are pretty organized with their syllabus, so you should email the nursing office and probably ask how soon can you guys have access to the materials on blackboard.

No I wasn't there on orientation but I heard you guys were too quiet lol

LOL. The units do not match up in Potter & Perry.

dsmom · Nov 28, 2015

what edition do you have?

crissygirl007 · Nov 28, 2015

8th. In your P&P and syllabus is Unit 1 Safe Environment, Client Safety, Hand washing, Infection Control. Was that Unit 1 in P&P for you? This info is in Unit 5 of my P&P.
