   Pasadena City College ADN Spring 2024

   Books_Coffee replied to hekryskh's topic in School Programs

   I applied to both the LVN to RN bridge program and the generic ADN at PCC. I received an email from them regarding my LVN to RN program denial back on October 2nd. The acceptance I received today was for the generic ADN program.

   Books_Coffee replied to hekryskh's topic in School Programs

   I applied with 85 points. 3.55 overall GPA, 3.96 science and 86.7 TEAS. Plus work experience as an LVN and foreign language fluency. I honestly thought I wasn't going to make the cut. I applied to their LVN to RN bridge program too and was told there...

   I'm headed elsewhere, too. Just got my acceptance at Pasadena City College, which is near where I live and I have been attending classes there already. Wishing you all the best of luck in your nursing careers!

   I was accepted at Southwest too. Congratulations! Rio is closer to me though, so I'll keep my spot there. Best of luck to you in your nursing career!

   FYI, staffing is an issue at most, if not all, nursing schools in the country as they have a hard time competing salary and benefits-wise with bedside/clinical work. Teaching pays less. Nurses can earn more working elsewhere. There are lots of news a...

   I was accepted, but I will most likely give up my spot. I was also accepted at Rio Hondo College, which is much closer to where I live.

    Books_Coffee replied to Jenn_W's topic in School Programs

    I applied to both the bridge and the generic ADN. I was accepted into the ADN program last Friday. I haven't heard anything back about the bridge program, so I guess I wasn't selected. I'm happy I got into the ADN program, even if it means more...
