Pierce College Nursing - Fall 2014 !!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

Hi everyone - just wanted to start a new thread for everyone admitted to the LA Pierce College Nursing Program for Fall 2014! Current student input would be helpful as well! :-)

Congrats those who got in the program :)

I was in pierce nursing spring 2014 but failed the program.

Since I can not continue the program anymore, I'm selling my text books and the uniforms(it's small size).

All of them are clean and no highlightings except gerontology text book.

I would like to sell all of them as a bundle.

Let me know if you are interested.

THX :)

Oh no! Now I'm scared of failing haha. Is it really hard?

Thanks for offering to sell your stuff.. I will see what I need!

Yes, It is hard :(

But it is because you have so many things to do.

You are going to have an exam almost every week and your exam will cover about 4 to 6 chapters.

Your lecture is only one day in a week.

You're going to see that your study habit or method you've done for pre-regs would not work in this program.

You have to study almost like 24/7 to pass your classes.

If you study hard and get used to nursing school questions, you will be fine. :)

The key to pass the program (not only for this program but any nursing school) is how fast you get used to NCLEX style question.

BTW, I don't know if you had a orientation already.

They might give you a list of text books in the orientation.

The book store sells a bundle of books (which is about $550?)but it does not have everything.

You are going to purchase more.

Hi... When do we have to turn in all the Heath and background/drug screening documents?

Hello! I believe we have to have it all done by the orientation date.

I just called and the secretary said most of it needs to be turned in August 6th (orientation day), so I guess plan on all of it!

Hey.. Anyone bought the uniforms or shoes yet? I am planning to go to the store soon.

Hi! Yes, I bought the uniform and the store sent it out for me to get the Pierce patches sewn on. So now I am just waiting for them to call me that it's ready!

the whole process takes a week or two depending on if they have your sizes in the store.

Are there specific shoes we need to buy?

Hey guys, congrats on getting in. I'm going into my 3rd semester of the pierce nursing program. Your 1st semester will definitely be tough with all the classes and the new style of questioning you will be introduced to. As far as shoes go, you want all white, comfortable shoes that you can stand in for 8+ hours. I have a pair of nikes that I use. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Yes. I called the company and they want us to fax our completed order form to them! The fax number is on the flyer we got.

Thank you so much for the info! And yeah, any other tips you think may help are greatly appreciated!

Have you worked at all throughout your time in the program? Also, how possible is it to get strait A's? And what is the percentage you need to pass the program?

Thanks again!
