You will write this post! I was sure I wouldn't get in. You can do it!!!

i was accepted at los angeles valley college for spring 2012! i am headed to the md tomorrow to get all the medical stuff started. i can't believe it! i am over the moon! best of luck to the rest of you! we have all worked so hard!!

I don't see how a nursing program would know about your hospital stay unless it involved a criminal record of some kind. They will do a background check but they will be looking for arrests, etc. What is more important is that you are mentally healthy and taking good care of yourself!

I called LA County today and they wouldn't tell me anything. They said letters would be out by the end of the month.

I called LA county today and they said they could not tell me what my status was and that the letters would go out by the end of November.....hmmmm. Doesn't make sense.

bluemanfb, which school are you going to accept? thanks for all the info. valley college was my home school so since i didn't get an e-mail from them, i guess i can assue i didn't get accepted. still trying to keep the faith! congrats to all of you!!

Still nothing in my mailbox. I guess I can assume that I didn't get into LA County since someone here already got a letter and my mailbox is empty. I am having a hard time keeping my hopes up.

Awesome that you got into so many schools! Best of luck to you!! I hope I have good news soon too :)

Where did you get accepted keepmovinglpn? Congrats to you!

Where did you get accepted mjmoon? Congrats!!

I know that LA County was points based. Do you mind sharing your info? How did you do on the TEAS V? Thanks and congrats to you!!!

Hello Spring hopefuls! I am in LA and applied to 6 local community colleges for Spring 2012. The wait is absolutely killing me. Every day when I open the mail box I get a twinge of anxiety....only to find nothing there. Anyone else out there in the LA area that has applied to local schools? Share your stories! I applied to: College of the Canyons-already got a denial from them Pasadena City College Glendale Community College LA County Los Angeles Community Collge LA Valley College Hopefully we hear something soon!!!

You are never too old! I am 36 (37 in November) have a BA in psychology and currently working 4 days per week as a social worker. I am married, have a husband, mortgage, almost 4 year old and preg with #2. I have been taking a night class each semester and still have 4 pre-reqs to go before I can apply. Take it one day at a time and somehow everything will fall into place. If it is meant to be, it will be. Look at it this way, you have until at least 67 to work to collect social security so even if you are finally an RN at 45, you have 22 years left to work! That is a long time. Take a deep breath and work on taking care of your family and doing your pre-reqs. You will get there :) Jen

Hi, I am currently taking some pre-reqs at Valley College. I used to work at Cedars-Sinai hospital in the city and we had a lot of nursing students from Valley. I really don't know enough about Antelope Valley to say but I hear Valley is a challenging program. How many times did you apply to Valley? Curious to know as I will be applying there myself. How was the TEAS and your GPA, etc. for entrance there? Best of luck on your decision. Either way, you have chosen a great career :) ~Jen

Hi! I am in a similar situation. I already have a BA in psych and am now working on the science pre-reqs for RN program and will apply to 4 or 5 local community colleges. It will take me a couple more semesters since I can only go at night and 1 class at a time. I am 36 and don't want to sit around for 2 years trying to get into an RN program and waist my science classes. Not to mention the fact that most CC's have time limits for these sciences. Yikes! I was thinking about the RT program as well. Just not as much opportunity as RN. I want to keep ALL of my options open. I know that healthcare is the field for me so I will get there someway/somehow. Best of luck to you! P.S.- where are you? Jen
