Hey guys, I just turned in my application for PCC today and I wanted to start a thread to see who else applied. Share stats, questions, etc... on here :)
I'm currently in the program and I can confirm that Urbanhound is speaking the truth. My only advice is to ask the administration as many questions as possible when finding out more about the program. I would avoid PCC if you despise computerized testing because ALL your quizzes and exams will be on the desktops/laptops. Also, google ATI if you don't already know what it is. PCC is one of the only community college programs in LA county to use this resource. You are expected to teach yourself the ATI material then take a comprehensive national exam at the end of the course which reflects on your course grade.
Thank you for the heads up. I appreciate you letting us know as this is very important in choosing which school to go to.
In the end, a RN is a RN no matter where you get your license. I'm sure you'll adapt to the program as you progress. One good thing about PCC is that they have great clinical placements (in my opinion). Those sites tend to hire PCC students from what I hear.

If you don't mind me asking, what are the clinical sites used and what are the hours for the first year? Thank you in advance!
