Pasadena City College RN program

Published

Hi,

I've heard that it's not recommended to work while enrolled as a student in an RN program. I'm applying for the Spring Semester at PCC and while I do intend to leave my current employer should I be accepted, I was wondering if there were people who made the attempt to work part-time or possibly in the summer.

Any opinions?

Thanks!

i did mine at citrus! i took the class fall 2010 and at the time i had just gotten a job as a waitress making good money but that job, as you know, has been dropped to crap so i am back to looking for a healthcare job

i have applied to huntington in pasadena, the citrus valley hospitals, san antonio in upland

nursing homes, assited living and have gotten nothing! i dont know what to do anymore!

those hours seem great! i would so take the night shift (which i heard no one likes to take anyway) and i mean i wouldnt mind starting per diem....if they are hiring please let me know...i am going to their website now to check it out....

I went to a private school and paid way too much money! Don't lose hope I'll still ask my director!

Still no email from pcc. I kinda hope they were just saying that so we would stop calling. LOL

Me too. But if you don't get in, which I know you will get in, but I am sure you have a really good chance of gettingin at CSULA .

That would be really cool if we got in together though! Gosh 60 people get taken in and I know of about 10+ people who applied and they are competitive, as in no Ws or repeats, all As and everything and that's people on here and at citrus!

Maybe a good thanksgiving present? If not well crap then, because I bet they close early for the holiday which means we may not even hear til December! Yikes! I hope they didn't scrap my application for missing something or something!
