  1. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    If you feel a need to know when they’ll send out letters, please contact the department. This thread will be used for years in the future to help prospective students gauge there nursing school...

  2. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    They will respond when they respond. There is nothing you can do to make the process go faster. You’ll either get accepted or denied, being anxious won’t help. Given the current circumstances, I...

  3. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    Some Sharp hospitals are Magnet hospitals. For instance, Sharp Memorial is a Magnet hospital, but Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital (where I work) is

  4. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    I do not agree with the discrimination against ADN’s, but it’s heavily prevalent in metro areas. The cost of living down here is atrocious (can you tell I’m from a small town ?), so as a single...

  5. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    Highly unlikely to work in San Diego with an ADN. Most require BSN minimum. Very silly to me because ADN and BSN graduates pass the same NCLEX, but multiple sources at Sharp, UCSD and Scripps have...

  6. Grossmont ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to AA0512's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied to Southwestern (86-89 points), Mira Costa (90-92 points) and Grossmont (86-89 points). Preference is Southwestern due to it’s partnership with SDSU. PLNU has a poor NCLEX pass rate...

  7. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    On the website and application, it states that they will notify you via your MiraCosta student email

  8. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    City College is offering Zoom application sessions. You could always ask there. They aren’t accepting a Fall 2021 cohort, so I didn’t bother researching them further. I started a...

  9. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied with 90-92 points depending on life experiences. I also applied to Southwestern (86-89 points), and Grossmont (86-89). If you think I’m a great student with great points, for...

  10. Palomar/Mira Costa Fall 2021 ADN

    Alexandria replied to futureICU2023's topic in School, College Programs

    Says on their website “Notifications: end of April” I hope you applied to BSN programs as well. No sense in taking an ADN spot if you’re qualified for a BSN

  11. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Nope! I’m stuck in San Diego thanks to a biased family court judge

  12. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    I read that same thread and someone with 81 points was accepted. So the person with 84 points had to have missed something despite the nursing department prompting her. I have found that,...

  13. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, but those students would most likely have the same points that applicants have had in prior cohorts. It’s not as if they have more points because the other schools are closed. So I’m still...

  14. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Not sure why an 87 would make you nervous. Have you googled the point cutoff of previous cohorts? It’s usually around 75-80. And there are hundreds of applicants each

  15. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    On the application it states an email confirmation that the school received your application will be sent 2-3 weeks after you sent it

  16. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Be careful about getting your AA. If you receive financial aid, you’ll have to petition for assistance for any additional degrees (I.e. ADN). That’s why I never applied for graduation....

  17. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    62% is the minimum for a reason; you know someone has earned that score and still went through nursing school. You have reason to be anxious, but nursing school can and will happen if you keep at it....

  18. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Most likely it’s a 62% composite score. I’ve only seen CSU’s and UC’s care about individual subject scores. Usually the wording would say “62% or greater with at least a 70% in science” if...

  19. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    I absolutely bombed the English language part. I kept getting “which demonstrates a verb-subject form?” Like, what?! I even went over the questions with my neighbor who is a high school English...

  20. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    As long as the person who did your physical is in a “provider” role, and physicals are within their scope of practice, it is fine. A PA did my physical. Do you mind sharing your points...

  21. Getting off the "do not hire" list?

    Alexandria replied to cmf2021's topic in General Nursing

    I had a job offer, accepted it, went through the physicals, labs, and was set to start orientation on a Monday in June 2018. On the way to that orientation on Monday, my car broke down. I called, no...

  22. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    I have heard from some NU BSN graduates that employers look down on you if you attended that school. They consider it a degree mill, not a true school that will prepare you for

  23. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    I went through National for something different a couple years ago. Absolute hot mess over there. And they require a ton of courses that you can only take with them (because they invented them), so...

  24. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    Nursing programs will typically notify applicants of their status in April or May. I wouldn’t worry about it until than. The application period hasn’t even closed yet. And while they...

  25. Southwestern College ADN Fall 2021

    Alexandria replied to Alexandria's topic in School, College Programs

    My breakdown is: CNA (25), GPA (30 + 8), life experiences (4), TEAS (22). So I actually have 89 points. I got mixed up after reading through several college point systems that day! Some look...
