thank you for your info. I chose Mtsac instead of PCC, even pcc is so close to my house. I heard the program is underfunded at pcc

I have heard good things about Mt. Sac! I'm sure it'll be great there, I have heard the same thing too about PCC's program and I'm not sure why that's been a problem lately.

Hi! Not sure if it's appropriate to be posting this, but I'm currently wrapping up the 1st semester of PCC's program right now. I wanted to offer any answers to some questions you guys might have since I also felt the same way when choosing a program. 🙂

How does your schedule look like? trying to see how many days I can work.

It's about 3 days a week due to the hybrid nature of the scheduling, some students have M/T/W, other students have M/W/F. Monday is the same for everyone since that's when our fundamentals class is, the other class would be skills lab, and then clinical. This is just for first semester, I heard weekends are possible in later semesters.

You're very welcome, but from what I know there's a group with a clinical on Thursdays I think. So I would say to keep your weekdays flexible for now, but it should only be about 3 days a week

 

If it's been released already, you can take a peek at the first semester classes on the schedule of classes to see what days the classes may be

I tried making a mock schedule and I saw that most likely it will be 3 days a week for school but I am just afraid of variables. Thank you.

Does anyone have any information on the background check portion? I've had to use castle branch for Rio Hondo and I already did a background check there, and my clearance shows on Castle Branch. Is that why I'm not having to do a separate one for pcc? Can someone look and confirm for me if there is a background check portion on castle branch please? Also can we create a group for our cohort! 🙂
