  1. Pasadena City College RN program

    If you score below a 62%, you have to complete a remediation plan before you can start the program. At least that's what I think they mean.
  2. Rio Hondo College?

    Havhop05- They told me to keep calling too in case someone declines their spot. Interesting, I wonder if they have an alternate list? Luckily, I got into PCC.
  3. Pasadena City College RN program

    I got my acceptance letter today for PCC's LVN-RN bridge program! I wasn't expecting to hear anything until May. I can't wait to start!
  4. Pasadena City College RN program

    I also applied for PCC Fall 2011. I'd be glad to post my stats for the curious: Sciences 4.0, English A, General Ed 3.8 and I have work experience. I applied to Rio Hondo also but I don't believe I made the cut. PCC is the only other school I was abl...
  5. Rio Hondo College?

    I'm so disappointed to hear that acceptance letters have been out for a week and I didn't get one. I'm a working LVN and I have multiple years of experience as a CNA. I got straight A's in ALL of my prereq's and a 3.8 in my LVN program. I'm also cons...

  8. Overtime

    I'm here in the LA area and on all of my days off I get called to come in. I usually decline as I already work four 12 hour shifts a week. At my hospital we have the choice to work 24-72 hours a week and we do all of our own scheduling.
  9. cna, to be or not to be.

    CNAs are very important people who do very important jobs but it is not fun most of the time. I've been a CNA in a hospital for about 3 months now and I LOVE talking and joking with patients and being able to help them, but I really really really don...
  10. How do you get over the smells?

    It may sound like a joke, but learn to breathe through your mouth. Sometimes wearing a face mask helps if you can get away with it.
