Thanks :) I decided to go UHM in the end, so tired of waiting. You know how it is...Out of curiosity, i still went to the orientation at kcc today, 40 plus people there, probably only 30 something are accepted out of 200 people who applied. Also sounds like about half of the people there have some sort of health care experience. Hope you find the infor useful...Anyway, dont give up! Keep on trying! You will get there! Good luck!

ummm...news to me...I didn't take any classes at KCC and never heard of that requirment...

I don't think the length of the employment matters that much. At the time I applied, I think I probably have about 8 month, which is shorter than yours. I applied with one B for my prereq, the rest are As for all the prereq and coreq completed, NLN at 139, and three coreq class missing. I talked to two counselors at KCC about my chance of getting in this time, and they didn't seem to be positive about it. They told me usually people apply with only 1 or two coreq missing at the most, having three incompleted is a little too much. However the work note will help me with few more points, so they encouraged me to try apply anyhow,which i did and was placed on the waiting list. I suggest you apply for UHM at the same time as a backup. Seems like UHM is much easier to get in, just talking from my own experience.

Thanks! Good luck with ur new coming semester at kcc and keep up the good work! :)

I always have this idea that kcc has the best reputation for nursing, so it has alway been my first choice. But I know this time my chance of gettin in was slim, since the counselor said its rare to get accepted with 3 corequisites missing, so I applied UHM as the backup, which turns out to be a wise decision... I m sure u will be accepted into UHM, if u did apply. I heard most of those who got accepted into kcc has letter of acceptance from UHM simutaneously. And u can always further ur education with UHM after ur graduation if u want to...or u can just go work right away...either way is good as long as ur are liscenced RN, I think :) congrats again! If I were u, I would be so happy!

Ya, the moment I got the acceptance letter I was. At least there is finally somewhere to go next year. No more pre-nursing work! Thank God!

You are right! I should! Just got the email today and printed out all the documents...already overwhelmed to look through all that, have not got the time to react or respond to any of that.way too much stuff for my taste... Guess that is what u call nursing!

Umm...not sure yet...still have this thing for kcc...curious what the orientation is gonna be like but also hate driving all the way from kapolei over for nothing...depends I guess, considering I probably won't have the honor to attend the program.

I have CPR from red cross...does that even count? Any idea?

No, I give up hope already...I just send in my deposit for spring registration at UHM...guess I will have to go with them...

Congrats gocards! Try send them back your letter of intent ASAP if you can so that you will get your health requirement paperwork in the email soon. Getting all that done seems quite overwhelming and time consuming...

wow! congratulations!!!thats awsome!!

Nothing fancy, just a note from my boss at the care home I am working at stating I have hands on experience with direct patient care... Very simple one. That's the same one I used at LCC to qualify my residency.

Yeah! Excited to see you all! The package doesn't exactly tell me what to do for health requirement at this point. I think it mentioned i have to wait for them to send me instruction about that after i send in my letter of intent. Did u already got the email instruction? I just receive my letter today, so havent really do anything about it yet.

Thank you! I probably still gonna go to the oriention at kcc...I have this thing for kcc...even though They don't want me
