1. Cypress College ADN Spring 2024

   diydude replied to Eviedang's topic in School Programs

   I don't think there's any advantage of being a Spring alternate for fall. Pretty sure all alternates join the fall pool of applicants if they choose to submit again in Feb. I've formally withdrawn to attend elsewhere in CA. Good luck to all sti...

2. Cypress College ADN Spring 2024

   diydude replied to Eviedang's topic in School Programs

   Still waiting here. Looks like there are ~30 alternates still waiting based on Zoom count today. If everyone keeps on top of their clinical prereqs, seems like there won't be any new offers until after Jan 19? I was hoping it'd be like 5 a...

   Hey Kathy, I did ask, but they didn't share that either. I plan to look at the total number of Zoom participants tomorrow, then subtract staff host(s) + 40 (assumed class size). That should give us a good idea of how many alternates there are 🙂

   For those still waiting, Cypress Health Science told me they do not give out alternate rankings. Oh well, didn't hurt to ask! Let's keep hoping y'all! 🤞🏼

5. New Nursing Student Path Assistance

   diydude replied to Aldrin Mendaros's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Aldrin, For California, per SB 1393, you would be waived from GE requirements for CA community colleges and CSUs. You will still need to take the specific nursing prereqs if you haven't already. You should check with the academic counsel...

   diydude replied to Ashley Menjivar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello Ashley, I'll share what worked for me, and hopefully others can share too. First, a little background. I'm in California, earned a 4.0 in my nursing prereqs, and was accepted to several public ADN/ABSN programs for Spring 2024. ...

   That is awful. I don't want to imagine what that's like. I hope you're able to get in asap, Hannah. I don't know you, but I'm cheering for you!

   I think it wouldn't hurt to ask that at the end of orientation since it's just 6 days away. I'm sure there'll be time for a Q&A for possibly unaddressed topics like that.

    diydude replied to Eviedang's topic in School Programs

    Lots of hopeful alternates it seems.. since we can't do anything other than wait and attend orientation, what are everyone's main reasons for wanting to go to Cypress over another program(s)? Mine are wanting to stay in the OC and hoping that clinica...

    Looks like I'm an alternate... sigh... guess I'll keep waiting! Also, just to make sure, the Zoom orientation is Dec 7 from 12-2pm PST right?
