I'm sorry, I'm not sure how the TEAS factors in for PCC. I thought it was given after you were accepted, but maybe that's just for the regular RN program.

I didn't realize that the LVNs would hear so soon.

Congratulations!

Good luck :)

I also applied to LA County College of Nursing since they have similar prereqs. I've heard good things about their program as well. Thanks and good luck with your classes!

I don't see why you couldn't turn it in on the first day. Probably best to just be done with it! Yes, they need the application and the transcripts from all of the colleges you've attended, including one from PCC. (It's up to you to request it from the Records office.) They also want a high school transcript but I think that this might not be required if you already have another college degree. I believe that they all have to be turned in by hand as opposed to mailing them in etc. I got an A in English 1A when I was first in college to get a BA in history. I can't say that this means I'm a sure thing though. They take 60 people and if they have over 60 applicants with "A"s then I have to assume that some people might get put on the alternate list. If you're taking micro and physio at once then you have more energy than me! I never could have kept up with both of them as well as my job at the same time. Very hardcore classes. Sounds like you have some awesome grades thus far. They accept people by going strictly off of grades so far as I know. They don't require the TEAS test as an entry test the way some schools do. You take that test once you've already been accepted so I assume it's meant more for advisement purposes. m

Yeah, I applied for Fall 2011. Sure you can ask: A in Micro, A in Physio 2A, A in Physio 2B. Good luck with your application. So you'll be applying this summer then?

I got the impression we wouldn't start hearing back until May. The notice on the box where we turned in the applications said 12 weeks and the final due date was something like February 20th, right?

Thanks to everyone for all the info!

Ladynika23, Do you mean the alternate list? I get the impression it's 30-40 people long. m

Hi, I've heard that it's not recommended to work while enrolled as a student in an RN program. I'm applying for the Spring Semester at PCC and while I do intend to leave my current employer should I be accepted, I was wondering if there were people who made the attempt to work part-time or possibly in the summer. Any opinions? Thanks!

Hi all, It's been great reading all of your posts! Getting a lot of info. I have a question for anyone who may know the answer. I've applied to start the PCC RN program in the spring (and won't hear if I got in for a few weeks more). The problem is a concert band that I perform with is planning on doing a week long concert trip to China in March. Have any of you heard about the intensity of the 1st semester? Is missing a week an insane idea? I don't think I've ever missed a day of college work in my life so I know I'm nuts to be considering it now. I was just hoping maybe one of you had some insight on how the classes are planned and if instructors are willing for nursing students to miss a few days. Thanks!
