I've made up my mind - no Compton college for me. Thank you for taking the time to give me your insights, I really appreciated them all! :redbeathe

Yikes, my points only add up to 26 points (darn Micro, and it has only been 2 years since I've taken that class)! I'm glad that the appointment with a counselor is no longer necessary - less things for me to do. And it's unfortunate to hear that there are people who have been waiting for 4-5 years to enter a nursing program! I might as well add in my name to SA's wait-list and join the waiting club. Meanwhile, I'll save up some money and think of ways to be productive with my free time. Apgar10, please let me know what number you get, hopefully you'll receive a good number :heartbeat

Aw I was hoping to hear a different answer! :chuckle I should've applied to Santa Ana sooner, but late is better than nothing..How long have you been waiting? My wait is going on to a year if I count the months before spring '09. The worst thing about waiting is that it feels like my life has been put on hold while others around me are doing their thing but I'm 100% the wait is going to be worth it! Can't wait to become a RN!

Hi everyone! Is the wait for the Santa Ana ADN program really at least 2 to 2.5 years?! I've been reading so many great things about Santa Ana here and would love to attend that school's program, but the wait is very discouraging. If I do put my name on the wait-list, is it a guarantee that I'll enter the program once a spot is available? Are their pre-reqs English, Micro, Anat., and Phys. and it is when I'm done with those classes that I'm able to meet with a counselor to be waitlisted? If you are currently a student at their program or have graduated from there, how long was your wait? I wanna go to Santa Ana...........F.Y.I. my other choice is Golden West (I was rejected last time I applied to GW). BTW, is the orientation at SA mandatory? Thank you!

sorry and no offense but everyone's telling me to not go to compton, even for school :stone

compton is a dangerous place, right? i just found out!

number of ppl who took the nclex test, percentage of ppl that passed. these numbers are from the board of registered nursing site: 18 72.22%, 20 35.00%, 19 42.11%, 17 52.94%, 34 85.29% i want to apply to this school, but their passing rates are awfully low and im wondering if it's bc they have a poor nursing program. if i graduate from this school, will i be able to pass the nclex test? will i be ready to properly function as a nurse? why the heck are their numbers so low? :stone

thank you so much for taking the time to reply :icon_hug: if i do apply and do get accepted, im gonna have to consider moving to la

thank you!! so what you're saying is that i dont have to worry about walking to my car, whether it be in the morning or at night, right? i hope i can get into harbor right away; i need to get into a nursing program asap (im sure im not the only one :chuckle). how do you get to harbor from oc knott's berry farm area? all i know is that i need to take the 91w freeway and the rest is a blur. does 91w freeway turn into something else? how do i get back home? LOL. im really bad with directions so havent ventured out far on the freeways and is torrance far from wilmington? are there any other sites that i have to travel to for clinicals? if i do gain admission to the harbor nursing program, im afraid gas is not going to be cheap :zzzzz

That is good to hear, thank you! :heartbeat I've yet to visit that area yet alone Harbor college. It's on my to do list.

thank you! :heartbeat

hi, what is the address of the compton campus? thanks!

are you doing the lvn to rn route? and what do u mean by "they tested at least 60-100 on the TEAS and there are only 12 spots"? i thought it doesnt matter what u score on your TEAS as long as u make the passing score. anyways, sorry that had to happen to you

i live in orange county and have never been to la (except to go to a bakery shop for breads). where have i been right? ive pretty much lived in a bubble..

I'm planning on applying to Harbor which is in Wilmington and was wondering is this really is a scary neighborhood. I've read posts here of having cars being broken into and some have told me that I would not want to live there (which I won't be doing). is it dangerous to walk to your car by your self after school or am i overreacting? i know that Harbor has an excellent nursing program and I should be thankful if I do get into a program somewhere, but I'm still worried.
