@vnngo rio hondo nursing is "okay", i mean they have life size manikins, and I am just getting into the basics of it. Since I am in the summer (pre-nursing) class, it is pretty hectic. You do have to study a lot (everyday). The tests are pretty basic though, you just have to be good at deduction and look for the best answer (there are always 2-4 right answers out of 4 lol). Sucks i didn't do that well on the first test b/c it's such a new environment (whole class didn't do well actually). Okay let me get down to the pros and cons lol.

Pros- nice faculty/teachers.

good diversity of students.

pretty good equipment.

8-10 students per instructor for clinical.

Cons- small class!!! (could be a pro for you, 26 students and dropping).

limited and bad clinical sites e.g. downey, whittier. I got downey =(.

There is nothing around you (just a cemetery and a dump, lol)

Teachers are not professors (they are nurses, doesn't really matter though, i guess)

Limited teachers (1 lecture teacher, 3 clinical)

You have to take an entry course before you can actually get into the program (currently I am accepted, but am contingent because I need to pass this course...)

Overall its "okay". I've heard that PCC is the best, which is why I am probably going to change schools.

Overall GPA = 3.915, Prerequisite GPA = 4.0 (darn that chemistry!!! lol)

Hey Jenny. Were you in Mrs. B's class? (ADN 151, I also did not do that well on the first test). I dropped today. Whichever school is a better convenience and if you would like to relax in the summer etc. If you were at class today, 3 people including me dropped the class leaving 24 total (did I talk to you about this already at class lol?). In my previous post i wrote a bunch of pros/cons for Rio hondo college so you can look at that. GL with your decision.

oh, wowwww

YOU DROPPED THE CLASS today??? I just took the test this morning. I failed...my class is on Mon, Tue, Thurs. yes, Ms B. (we only have 1 teacher for the program)

Did the other 2 people drop the class because they also got accepted at PCC????

I am still struggling to prepare for the next exam. (I just quit my job because of this class :sniff:)

I want to take PCC as my second choice just in case I fail this class. (I mean I want to keep this class also) But the problem is that I have to attend the orientation at PCC and I also have the test @ Rio on the same day. well, I really don't know what to do ... still thinking...

wow, you can enjoy your summer break now!!!
