ADN programs In Ventura county are very competitive. There are lots of students with Bachlor's degrees looking to get their RN with no debt. The only ADN program locally that does not factor in cum GPA is Pierce in LA. I applied to several back in Ja...

No do not wait you are at a disadvantage for CSU’s in Southern California. What if you wait a year and still don’t get in? I would apply everywhere and do a BSN that’s concurrent at one of those CSU’s.

Southern California is brutal. You need to ace your prerequisites and your entrance exam and pray for a spot. The BSN program where I live in Ventura county had 800 apply for 40 spots. As for the LVN 30 unit option you jump into the second semester a...

congratulations thats amazing news! At orientation there was less than 30 people and someone didn't show up. I thought there was plenty of room for more people. I messaged you my info!

Don't do it if a B will ruin your chances. I was also tempted to take them together and Im so glad I didn't. In the end I took one science at a time, and got into 4 schools in so cal. In the grand scheme of things another semester is no big deal.

I would skip re-listening to lectures. I record lectures but only re-listen to certain parts if I was struggling. Often I could find the topic on youtube instead of re-listening at all. For me I only make flashcards of things I don't know, and that a...

Yes it is structured. I’d say it’s bulletproof in that if the practice test A and B say he’s getting a certain % that’s very close to what he will get. There’s a few smart prep threads on here look around

He needs to buy the ATI smart prep made by the people who make the Teas, and do all 65 modules. It comes with two tests that are huge indicator for how he will score. I would not take it again without doing this first.

I was nervous when I started my CNA job last year. It was my first time with hands on a patient. You will be just fine I think it takes a good month to get the hang of things. My main advise is Do Not forget to the lower the bed! Seriously the one ti...

Can you apply to a different college?

It said I was chosen as a stand By. If an accepted student didn’t show for orientation I would be admitted. Stand by students that go to orientation are guaranteed a spot next semester. This is the first I’ve heard from them since turning in my appli...

Yea I got a stand by email around noon.

I asked when I turned in my application what happens if your the first person who didn’t get in? If that would make you first on the waitlist, and she said No anyone who isn’t in is assigned a waitlist number randomly.

The waitlist numbers are assigned randomly

I got into Ventura for Fall 2019 with NO waitlist. I got an A in physiology and Micro, but a B in anatomy. I got an 88% on my teas. These stats got me into college of the canyons, Glendale, and Ventura. So it’s not hopeless just score high on your Te...

If you score high on your teas you might be ok. If you’re near Ventura county there is a program with a waitlist. As long as you have at least a C in your pre-reqs you go on the list. It might take three years to get in, but you’ll eventually. The sc...

I was told waitlist numbers will be given in July, but this was back when I turned in my application so maybe it changed.

Good teacher all the way! Rate my professor has never let me down. Bad review tend to mean the teacher puts things on the exam that weren’t in lecture.

If you’re in a highly competitive area( where a B is really going to hurt you) I’d lighten your load. I found A&p 11 easy, but Micro was a beast. Those two labs will add so much additional busy work. Good luck!

Glendale just emailed me this morning that they received my decline so hopefully the next alternate hears something today!

I just sent them an email declining my spot for Fall in the weekend/ evening program so hopefully you’ll make it in. Good luck!

Barbara just called at 1:20

Calls are going out! I’m in! Good luck everyone

I personally found Microbiology to be way harder than AP2. I got A’s in both but I think I would have got B’s if I would have done the summer. I personally wouldn’t do it if your in a very competitive area and a B will hurt you.

Traffic mostly. My top choice is Ventura Community college as it’s only 20 minute drive for me. For those that’s don’t know they have a true waitlist. If you are not accepted with points you go on the list. You will get a for sure spot they update yo...
