I'm giving up my spot as well you guys, I know more spots will open up as more people give up their spots! I'm wishing everyone good news

I feel you, I know how frustrating that must feel, but don't give up! If you can, have you applied to multiple ADN programs or just Chaffey? Know that people who were accepted will give up their spot due to being selected elsewhere, so getting an alternate spot is great and hopeful! I'm wishing you the best, I hope you get in for Spring 2024! *crosses fingers*

You're welcome! I'm wishing you the best ??? we're almost there, we should be hearing back this week or next week, hopefully by the end of this week though! And you're right, I think once they get a few semesters in of the bridge/CEP under their belt, they may begin offering it for Fall and Spring.

Yes exactly, that's the one! You can print it directly from your email and take that with you to labcorp.

Smallorange, I didn't even see you posted this question. Im wondering the same thing too, because on our CEP email, it specifically says that CSUSB will have a separate background check. So I was confused about whether that meant just separate from ADN or if we had to do one for ADN and one for CEP.

Yeah they send you an email (after you choose a labcorp location) with a form that you're supposed to take to the lab with you. If you didn't receive it, I would say to contact the help desk on the complio website, they're pretty helpful. First it'll be a robot, but then they can send you an actual person to assist if you request it. They may be able to send you an email with the form.

You're right about that! I guess we'll have to wait and see ??

On Complio you'll see see a list of all the compliances you need to complete, and on the right side of each item, there's a hyperlink that says "enter requirement" (or something to that note). If you click on it, it expands and will allow you to open an attached document (comes from their end). It'll be a hyperlink as well somewhere on the right-side, and it opens a document that they want you to date and sign. But I think we are supposed sign it after receiving and reading the handbook they will give us once they begin emailing us.

Hey, guys! I've been thinking about whether or not I selected the correct Complio package ? for CEP, it says CSUSB will have us do a separate background check, so I'm wondering if for the RCC ADN portion, we should select the RCC ADN package on Complio, and then when we do the one for CSUSB we should select the CEP package? I selected the CEP package, and when I was reading through the HIPAA, confidentiality, bloodborne documents, it has us sign for ARMC as the clinical site (which makes sense for CSUSB students). But, our first 2 years will be with RCC and therefore our clinical sites will be RCC clinical sites, and I think those are different than ARMC? I guess a good clarifying question would be: for anyone who started on RCC ADN complio, what clinical site did you see on the HIPAA/confidentiality document? Was it ARMC or somewhere else?

Oh wow, I didn't know that the cutoff is usually in the low-mid 70s! It's really nice that they share so much information with us. I thought I wasn't going to have a chance because I thought the cutoff score would be in the low 80s. Thank you for sharing, this is great info to have!

I think I applied with 76 or 78 depending on whether or not they accepted the work experience I submitted, and if they did, how they calculated it. If the enrollment specialists said the cut off score was between 71-73, then it seems like it was a little lower this application cycle compared to the previous cycles. Or at least the ones that have posted here.

Update: I received an email from an RCC enrollment specialist confirming they received my email where I state that I accept their CEP offer. So you guys might want to check your emails for confirmation!

Yes I did submit my TEAS score with my Chaffey application.

I also used Mometrix, and I bought the ATI TEAS workbook from their website as well. I also watched a lot of YouTube videos for the science and math sections. I also watched YT videos for the English and Reading to learn tips and tricks on how to answer those questions. It seems straight forward, but I found I ended up not answering right for English. Also tried to practice exams on the internet or through the mometrix and ATI TEAS workbooks.

About 4 more weeks then, it goes by pretty fast! I'm excited for you and I wish you all the best. It seems like you have a good chance of starting the program in Spring 2024. Plus there are so many good RN-BSN collaborations between ADN and BSN programs, so if we can for sure get into an ADN program and complete it, we have a lot of chances of getting into an RN-BSN program and getting our BSN done in 1-3 more semesters after passing the NCLEX-RN.

Okay I see, I think that makes the most sense. So they suggest taking the ADN spot if you get in, and then if a CEP spot opens and you are offered it, then you can take that instead and drop from the ADN. Congratulations on receiving an alternate email, that's great! I know people drop their spots due to getting in somewhere else or somewhere closer, so there's a chance! And if you received an alternate spot for CEP, then it seems like you have a high chance of getting into the ADN ? Wishing you the best!

Thank you! ☺️

hehe yess! I'll talk to a counselor as soon as I can and see what they think. Thank you so much for helping me, Mmend ☺️

No I'm not an alternate, I was given a spot in the RCC CEP program by RCC, but in their provisional acceptance email, it stated they have now sent my application to CSUSB for them to process and make a decision on. So I'm just paranoid CSUSB may find something wrong and deny me. I feel like I should be fine, but I don't want to get too excited LOL! I'm kind of thinking for the most part if RCC accepts you into the CEP program, then so will CSUSB, they just have to process it separately since it's two different schools and two different programs. IDK. I think I will try to drop into open office hours tomorrow.

Thank you Mmend! ☺️

Thank you Mmend for sharing with me! I think I might just wait until I get confirmation of acceptance from CSUSB before dropping out of the other program. I think I should also meet with my counselor as well for their feedback. Thank you for support!

I have a questin guys, what do you think? I was accepted into another school's ADN program, but RCC CEP is my top choice. In the provisional acceptance email it states my application was sent to CSUSB for their admissions decision, and that the CSUSB process takes several weeks before I should expect to hear back from them. I'm so afraid and paranoid that for some reason CSUSB may reject me. So my question is, when should I tell the other school that I am no longer planning on going to their program? Should I wait until I receive an acceptance email from CSUSB? I don't want to give up my spot at the other ADN program just in case for some reason I'm rejected by CSUSB. But I also feel bad waiting so many weeks until I hear back from them before telling the other school I no longer plan on attending because that's taking time away from another student receiving their acceptance.

Thank you! ☺️ Okay I see, I thought it was provisional admittance, but it's TEAS/rejections. Well that's very hopeful! I think it makes sense that you haven't heard back due to already completing the TEAS, and no rejection, so that's a very good sign!! ? I also completed and submitted my TEAS score on the application, so that may be why I haven't heard back as well.

TB, Tdap, MMR, Varicella, Polio, and Hep B, COVID, Influenza (it says optional compliance for this one). Good luck, hopefully you get in and hear back soon!

Hey, Siah, CNA! I haven't received anything yet either LOL! Could mean we're either rejected or possibly alternates? Unless alternates already received their emails. Is Chaffey your top choice? Chaffey is the closest to me, but I was provisionally accepted into another program, so as long as everything goes right there, I think I'm going to go to that school. I'm wishing you the best!
