You guys... Is it just me or when you see the word "solicitation" does it make you think of Law and Order? And after I was so happy about my clear background check and all! A solicitation charge could really throw a monkey wrench into my plans.

Congratulations to you!

Congrats on the BLS and the clean background check, Shye! Got mine back as well. High fives for not being criminals! I went to do TB and titers today. Lucky me had immunization records for a couple of things. I'll go back for results on Wednesday. I just need to order transcripts from various and sundry places, deal with NSO insurance, and order my supersexy uniforms!

It sounds right to me. I can't imagine they would want LA County for folks who have never lived here. But I can certainly understand your wanting to double-check it. I was about to pull the trigger on the insurance tonight, and then I decided I should wait and call and talk to someone there on Monday morning first. I'm very concerned about making mistakes with this stuff!

Also, I'm not really sure why they don't drug test. I thought all nursing schools did. Weird. Though they have Livescan capabilities there on campus. Maybe they do it themselves? Seems weird that they wouldn't want it taken care of before we start. I imagine they have a plan for it. And Jeli, we start on August 26; all of our background, medical clearance, insurance, etc is due on August 1. I think we are all going to be some busy people in the coming weeks. They ask for a lot of things!

I know, right? It must have felt good not to be the only out-of-state student!

Hey Z, Orientation was good. But LOOONG! Now comes the part where we all rush around getting vaccines and physicals and obscenely expensive uniforms. (Seriously? Did anyone else check out the Dove apparel site? Yowzers! I have always maintained a love-hate relationship with white clothing because I am a magnet for icky stuff. I think maybe I should buy Dove stock now...) And congratulations to you, ordinarykathy!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Like Brewin, I got into PCC which is my first choice, so I accepted the seat there. They're both great programs, though.

I'll also be declining, so my guess is you'll be getting a call.

I have CNM plans down the road. For the next two years, though, my only goal is ADN!

I'm sorry to hear that, Lawnrencencandy.

This is a post from '08 where a student details some of the sites. https://allnurses.com/california-state-nursing/pasadena-city-college-336605-page2.html#post3309351

I know Arcadia Methodist is definitely one. And CountrySomethingOrOther Villa (I believe is a nursing home) also.
