I don't mind at all, so far I know that mt sacs program does not let you use a calculator on the TEAS or during the first semester of the program.

Also, I think we start the semester off getting a minute and a half per question on exams and as the program progresses, it gets to about a minute per question. We also will be starting the program off doing clinicals at school and after 4 weeks we will start going to a nursing home.

Thats about all I can think of so far.

I am not suprised that MT. SAC would make it more difficult than it needs to be during nursing school. I applied there and got in but withdrew since it was about 45 minutes away from me. I attended MT.SAC a couple years ago and most of their cognate courses for CSU transfers required more busy work and studying. I have no doubt that you will do great since they picked you though! It's hard to get in to MT.SAC nursing, you've already made such a big accomplishment!

As far as ELAC they mentioned we will be having an 8 week class during the first semester one 16 week class throughout the whole semester, and a 8-week class for the second half of the semester. Clinicals were talked about but they didn't mention a set schedule, all they told us was the shifts would be anywhere from 8-12 hours clinical shifts. I will ask them about calculators being used on tests. Their exam pass rate must also be 76% or higher, failure to pass the first semester on all exams with 76% or higher means you get dropped. But afterward, all the other semesters you will get a second chance if you fail a test.

Do you know if you guys will also be taking ATI tests throughout the semester on top of your exams?

I did not, I was just going off of their 10-week timeline. ?‍♂️

The best number to call is probably the Health Sciences Division Number listed on the website: (626) 585-3378
