Yeah. Could you imagine if we applied and gave them paperwork like that? Like, OK, here is my CPR card, and in two weeks you'll get my proof of fluency in another language.. etc. Also, if I already submitted my official tx, I have to SUBMIT THEM AGAIN? That costs money! I will be there tomorrow, however unless there is some sort of amazing Fin-Aid situation that I get from being at Palomar....I'm giving MC my best; "heyyyy ? " Mostly based on organization and communicating expectations clearly and concisely. (Also, smaller class size - which could be hell, but at least I will know what to expect.) I know not all of us have the option of other schools, but the disorganization is anxiety producing when it will be the next 2 years of our lives. I would prefer feeling like a military cadet with rote structure and strict rules rather than just blindly hoping that there are no mixups. </end rant>

Yeah, that could be bad! I think the automatic drop is par for the course. The thinking is if you can't bother to make orientation- then are you really that committed to the program? ---------- Also can we giggle at Palomar reminding us to check our email, as if we haven't been refreshing a few times a day, every day for the past few months.Also RE: the medical forms. I would email the programs and mention "for financial reasons it would be difficult to pay for multiple instances of the same appointment/ to have the forms filled out at different times. *since its school/occupational some insurance doesn't cover it, so its not a fib. I would also ask them if they will accept physical documents from another area program. SD city college has them in the nursing handbook and southwest has them in their application (and I'm sure grossmont has a very thorough form. LOL) Goodluck!I have to speculate that it was because those cohorts were affected by the change to online learning & clinical placement problems. Looking at the CA RN board site, 86 students took it, which is more than usual. If they were taking it in Fall '21 - then they had to adapt to online learning in March 2020 (so the last half was online) the Spring ' 22 cohort likely was part of the rampant cheating in the fundamental sciences --not to be a jerk but the switch to online classes led to people learning how to cheat [even during teacher proctored exams I would see other students blatantly cheating] vs learning how to study effectively. I likened it to people behaving weirdly when wearing costumes or more properly in uniform- some people just didn't take class as seriously when it was online- where we find memes, trolling and all kinds of weirdness. (But, I'm no sociologist.) It does look like most CA schools suffered a dip in NCLEX pass rates in that season. There is also the possibility that many people were burnt out and learned more in practice than in theory (and if the NCLEX is anything like the NREMT, some questions are weird and logic would override the "technically correct" answer).I just came to post a similar thing. Biggest non-update in the history of updates. I thought the computerized system was supposed to make it quicker and easier for them? Seems like they might either have limited staff or really be pacing themselves, I know they are thorough but holy moly!
