Hi...thx for the tips fr orientation. I went to the bookstore today and they had everything in stock. The first person at the bookstore had no clue where they were and the next guy directed me towards the register. I am doing clinicals at Casa de Campana. Yeah not excited about getting a rolling backpack.

Hi Christine, congrats to you too!! I bought all of my books on Amazon. You can sign up w/Amazon prime and get the free 2day shipping. I'm assuming the pamphlets are at the bookstore? I just bought my uniform & labcoat at that place in Escondido that was in our packet...they'll do the patches & seam binding for u (but it costs $15 ea). Anyways sooo anxious to start. Have you bought everything else?Bejuled...anything we missed at orientation? I was just briefed in the nursing office. I am in Carlsbad...but not far fr Palomar. What about u?

Hey...congrats! I am really excited to start but already feel overwhelmed since I was accepted for the Spring last minute. Were you at the orientation a few mths ago?

Hi, Was wondering if anyone starting this Spring at Palomar lives in Carlsbad? Palomar just contacted me last week to say I can start...needless to say I'm rushing around to get everything finished to begin. Would love to talk to someone who was at the Oct orientation. Thank you!!

thank you...good luck to you too. be prepared because it could go pretty quickly, i didn't think i would start until next Fall.

Yes it's still showing, so technically everyone has moved up...what # are you? They had emailed a mth ago saying there was a slight possibility I could start in the Spring and then yesterday they told me a spot had opened. Needless to say I'm rushing to get everything that is required finished soon. Good luck to you...if you're close to my #, then most likely you'll start in the Fall!

Thx...it's been quite the wait. I am currently #29 on the list.

Hey everyone, Finally got the confirmation that I'm in for Spring 2012!! So excited, but obviously missed the orientation. In a major rush to prepare...it's just around the corner!

Congrats to you!! How exciting to finally know when you're starting...I haven't heard anything, but I still have a ways to go. Good luck to you, I've only heard good things about the Palomar nursing program :)

Yeah I have no idea how we were given our waitlist #'s. No I haven't applied to any other programs since Palomar is the closest and I didn't think I would be getting in any quicker to other CC's. I struggled between CC programs and the accelerated 2nd bachelor programs that would get me in quicker. I just couldn't imagine spending $40K plus for another bachelor's degree. Good luck to you! Chrissybear: congrats on getting into the program, hopefully you get in quicker. It's totally possible that others may decline before this Fall. I agree, I may apply again through the new process. But I have a 5mth old that I would like to be at least 2 before I put him in daycare. So the wait may work a little better for me.

Nope haven't heard anything else....yes I took the TEAS back in September. It wasn't all that bad..you just have to use the TEAS study guide. The questions are exactly like the actual test. How long have you been on the waitlists? It's been exactly 2 yrs for me.

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone is on the current waitlist for Palomar College in San Marcos? I just contacted them to see if they could give me a rough estimate for a start time (I'm in the low 100's) and they couldn't. Has anybody else had any luck? Thanks!

I am taking the TEAS in Sept...they seem to fill up quickly. Anyways does anybody know what the schedule will be like for the program? I saw it posted here awhile back and can't seem to find it. Just want to start planning ahead of time for childcare and stuff....

I know, I am eager to begin as well. I'm going to start looking into CNA programs in SD cty. All of the community college programs always get filled up so quick. No I'm just applying to Palomar. I'm pretty sure all of the other schools in SD have a similar wait and Palomar is the closest to me. I'm excited that there'll be a brand new facility when we're there though! Have you taken the TEAS yet? I guess they say we should do it by this Fall.

hey lisajule22, i'm also on the palomar wait list around the 200's as well. i was thinking of going for my cna as well, where did you end up going for that -if you don't mind me asking? i've only heard good things about the RN program at Palomar, but i know it'll be a tough 2 yrs! :)
