@mchlstvn Do you mind telling me who sent the email? I just checked with Erika and she said that she hasn't sent out anything regarding clinical sites. And the Director is out on vacation until Jan 7th. Definitely nothing in my inbox and spam box, as well.

@mchlstvn Did you get a notice already?? I was pretty sure that I read somewhere that we'll learn of our clinical sites during orientation week. Since I had to have my pre-orientation separate from everyone else (still embarrassed about missing it), I was able to ask a lot of questions during my one-on-one time with the Director. I'm moving from Glendale to Lakewood in a few weeks so I asked her quite a few questions about this. She told me that the clinicals get assigned by your home address. So no, we don't get rotated to all the county hospitals. If you're remotely more up north, you'll get assigned to Olive View, because there are less students closer to that region. So I think if you're 15 min by USC, it's probably safe to assume you'll be assigned there. If I was in Glendale, I would've been assigned to Olive View... but my new address in Lakewood would have me assigned to Harbor. Hope that helps!

@cxvnx director trongone recommended lippincott so i purchased the 2019 lippincott pocket drug guide for nurses on amazon for $16

@mchlstvn got it!

The site won't let me send a direct message ? But yes, I'd really appreciate it if you could forward me the email! The sooner I know how much I need to spend/set aside, the more helpful. My email is kimc6606 at student dot laccd dot edu. Thanks so much for being so helpful!! I'll make sure to make it up to you as we struggle through our cohort together!

Thanks! I actually got all the way to my TB testing part of onboarding so I'll just be picking up my badge on Tuesday. I'm also meeting with the Director to get me back up to speed on everything I missed on pre-orientation on Tuesday as well. I'm sure I'll know everything by then but have you already started on textbook orders and uniform fittings already?

I got offered my spot back! I also just got accepted in GCC’s program but CONAH is my first choice so I’ll be resuming my onboarding here. thank goodness.

Hi everyone, I got into GCC's standard program! I also got into CONAH but got food poisoning and forfeited my spot when I had to miss their mandatory pre-orientation. I'm so relieved to have gotten in at GCC, also. Congrats to everyone that got it!

Hi @mchlstvn, thanks so much for responding and for being encouraging. Although it really does suck, like you mentioned, should I need to reapply, I’d feel super secure with the whole process and being admitted for Fall 2020 term. Hopefully, I get to rejoin my fellow Spring 2020 term accepted cohort. But I think I’m warming up to the idea of a slight delay... especially since that would give me some much needed time to tend to all the stuff I know I wont have time for once nursing programs start.

Hi Everyone, Slightly off-topic but I need to cover all my bases... I was accepted into the Spring 2020 term however, my whole family got food poisoning from eating out on Halloween night and unfortunately missed the following day's pre-orientation. No matter the circumstance, my slot was immediately filled with the next applicant. Worst possible turn of events for me seeing as how I'd already turned down all other acceptances I'd gotten. I only have one program with any hope left since they haven't sent out acceptances yet. If I don't make it there, I'll only be left with the option of going for another round of applications for the Fall 2020 term programs. CONAH does sympathize but since they filled the slot before realizing I'd already communicated my situation to certain staff, their hands are tied as well. I understand but of course, I'm really devastated and it's eating me inside out. It's taking serious determination to not fall into some depressive hole about all this. After being in communication with the Director and Dean, I've been promised the next forfeited spot, if there is one. So, if anyone here is accepted into another program and decides to forfeit their spot with CONAH (or know of any within the cohort), I'd really REALLY really appreciate the heads up. Thanks so much.
