Yes! Exceptions were made for some programs. We have lecture online and we can use the sim lab and obviously still go to the hospital for clinical. Actually we are going to finish the semester too (they extended it into Summer to give us time to comp...

No, the meeting was to let current students know how we will proceed next semester, which is an unknown at this point. It wouldn’t make sense to admit another 1st semester cohort when they already have one. If they did then in the Spring we would hav...

The director told us yesterday during a meeting that they weren’t going to admit a new cohort in the fall because they needed to focus on current students. Maybe they will pull names for Spring semester in stead? It’s interesting that they’re qualify...

ARC has reinstated our current nursing program, and will continue with our program as scheduled! Hopefully good news for all you waiting to get in as well!

Our semester is cancelled. We will not have class again until the regularly scheduled fall semester begins and we will repeat our entire courses again. Hopefully this is all cleared up by then so we will be allowed back in the hospitals, or we will b...

ARC nursing students are repeating the whole semester. What this means for an incoming class, I can’t say for sure. This sucks for all of us, the ones in the program and the ones waiting to get in.

current nursing students still don’t know if we are moving on or repeating the semester, they are hoping to make a decision and let us know before Spring break or right after. That 100% will delay when they let you guys know too. They can’t accept an...

No lectures online. Obviously lots of homework and studying, but that’s to be expected. They expect us to teach ourselves a lot of the information. The seminars are just to guide us in our studying. Just because we only have class 3 days a week typic...

It’s not bad at all. We have seminar on campus every Tuesday for 5 hours, clinical Thursday/Friday (6am-3ish), and every third or fourth Monday, we have testing at school from 7:30-9ish.

Hey guys! I’m a first semester student at ARC. To answer some questions posted: they take 40 students a semester. If you’re an alternate, but do not get chosen, you’re not automatically in for the following semester, you still have to reapply (reall...

You can calculate your points with the multi criteria form: https://www.arc.losrios.edu/docs/ARC-Documents/ARC-Instruction/ARC-Health-and-Education-Division/ARC-Nursing/ARC-Checklist-PS-S19.pdf

Hey there. They get slightly less applicants in the spring than they do the fall. This last application cycle I heard they got around 400 applications, but they don’t publicize how many they get anymore like they used to. Our cohort has 40 students, ...

Thank you so much! It has been a LONG time coming! I think I have had 12 total rejections the last 2 years, so I am SO thankful for the opportunity. I will definitely make the most of it!

Wow! I’m really happy for you, but #15 on the alternate list and you got selected?!? That’s amazing! Congrats to you as well!

I just got the email that I have been moved from the alternate list to the class roster for arc!!! Woohoo!

How the LPN-RN bridge programs work here is you still have to have your science prereqs done before you can bridge, so you don’t actually avoid taking them, you just put it off for a while. I would check into that in your area if that’s one of the de...

They are both really great schools! Their NCLEX pass rates are almost the exact same the past few years. Which one is closer for you? Maybe that will help make your decision.

Last year they sent out letters and not everyone’s status had been updated to qualified. I know they were scrambling because they were late this year.

I got an alternate spot as well! #3, which makes me SO hopeful!!!

Scc doesn’t update anyone’s status to “qualified.” Only ARC does.

Yes this happened to me last year! But I got called for an alternate spot the first week of December for their spring 19 program and attended their orientation! They called 6 of us as alternates but only had 3 open spots. I wasn’t selected in the end...

I tried, but I couldn’t because they wouldn’t accept Sierra’s medical terminology class as the medical terminology for the healthcare provider requirement ? just a heads up for anyone that’s thinking of going that route and is a Sierra student!

If memory serves, they were a couple days late notifying last year. ? hopefully that won’t be the case this year.

Nothing here either ? I’ve been waiting a year also. The only thing that I’m holding onto is the possibility of getting into AR or SC in the next couple weeks. Congrats to those that got in though! Good luck in the program!

And someone on another forum said Sierra had somewhere around 130 last week! Today is the last day they’re accepting apps there. FYI for anyone else that applied to Sierra.
