   jennlaVICIOUS replied to munkeyann's topic in California

   The dean always pushes for as many seats as possible. Our base was 60 students, but I believe we took in 71 total. Back in my pre-req days, the base was 80 students a semester. Students were waiting one or two semesters max. Then budget cuts came ab...

   Quick question. There are so many rumors regarding AVC's nursing program, but the most recent I've heard is that they've reduced their base acceptance number for Fall of 2011 to 40 students!! Has anybody else heard about this?? Oh, and regarding cost...

   jennlaVICIOUS replied to munkeyann's topic in California

   This is true. There are a few students in my class who were literally called two weeks before the program started to see if they wanted to take spots that were reserved for students that didn't follow through.

   In my room or the campus library. I really get in the zone in the library though. I especially love hooking up with friends and renting out one of the study rooms our library offers for a few hours. I really have no idea how people are able to study ...

    I always tell high school kids that high school is only hard because YOU make it that way. Looking back, high school SHOULD have been a cake walk, but like you I was more concerned with boys and, well, not going to school. lol I dropped out of high s...

11. Things to do before the real stuff begins

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to ams24's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Stay on top of your anatomy, especially physiology. Also, my CC offers a credit/no credit course in dosage calculations and math for nurses. Maybe you can find similar courses in your area. Wouldn't hurt to be ahead of the game once you do start the ...

12. Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing

    MY CC's ADN program had a wait of at least 2 semesters, sometimes three. I didn't want to sit around and twiddle my thumbs while I waited to be accepted, so I used that time to work on transfer courses and even managed to receive a degree in Liberal ...

15. Im living in the Lancaster CA area and I need a job as an LVN!!!!!

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to dana1217's topic in California

    Antelope Valley = major saturation of nurses. Period. There's like a career/tech school on every block in that area! Not only that, but there isn't much work out there. I've heard that Antelope Valley Hospital has completely phased out their LVN's f...
