Congratulations @NurseDalee and @RonnieDita!!!!!! That's great, I'm so happy for you both! How is the pre-adn class for Rio going for you guys? I got accepted into LA County, Rio Hondo, Glendale for Spring 2012. I decided to take a semester off because my brother got ill and was able to hold on to County and Rio's seat until Fall 2012. I started the admission process and did orientation for both of those programs, awaiting to hear back from Citrus and PCC. I got accepted into both of those as well for Fall 2012. It was a super tough decision- but due to proximity to my home and my son's school and the fact that I am already familiar with Citrus College , I chose to stay with Citrus's ADN program beginning this upcoming Fall. Many people whom I began this journey with here at CC have also been accepted and that makes it very comforting since we have all already built relationships. Although my heart remains divided between County and Pasadena bc they remain in my top 3 choices of best overall programs, I know I made the right decision for my entire family. I wish you both the best of luck at Rio, I know you will both do amazing! I'd love to hear how things are going and how things continue, so please keep me posted :)

Sorry for the typos- couldn't catch a few from my cell Have a great day guys!!

Congrats everybody on your acceptance! Thank you Cabion_666 for all the insight!! So helpful and thoughtful of you! :) I have a friend in 3rd semester doing her Psych nursing rotation- don't want to scare u guys, but I know a few ppl already in the program 2nd and 3rd semester who claim that it is nothing short hellish (so it seems like gets progressively harder- so I've heard 4th semester is the WORST) Most of these ppl were straight A students at our JC, Student Instructor Leaders, and also are in County's ASB. Can't deny I'm a little scared after interacting with them over the course of their experience but I have faith that we can ALL make it! I'm glad I know what I'm getting myself into to say the least Anyone still waiting on any other programs? I myself am still waiting on PCC and GCC but did send my intent to County just in case Hope to see most of you this Friday! Congratulations to all of you once again!

Congratulations BeachsideNic on your BSN acceptance!! I'm more than positive that alternate will be eternally grateful! Good Luck in your program!

How exciting! I wouldve done the same thing I am going in with 83 pts bc unfortunately my speech class didn't get accepted so I'm taking that as we speak and also didn't get the 5 bonus pts on the TEAS like Id hoped to attain 88 pts like you :) Missed it by a hair with a 74% :/ but managed to gain a couple back with work verification letters. I have not recieved anything yet, and like you, am shocked at how early they sent out letters this semester, lol...but im glad to see things seemed to be organized in that sense. I'm waiting on PCC, GCC, and County's response. I was accepted at Rio Hondo and unfortunately denied them last week bc although Id be taking a pre ADN course, their official program doesn't begin until Fall 2012 and I was hoping to enter something "officially" by Jan. I hope I made the right decision and everything works out- We shall see! I'll keep you posted, Lingaping =)

Congratulations Lingaping!! That's great! I was thinking letters wouldn't be sent out until late Nov. :) Good to hear they are on their way out. If you don't mind me asking, what were your total points?? Wonder what the cut-off will be this semester? I asked ---- during our TEAS exam and she said it was 83 last semester and she was aiming for it being the same for this one. I may just call tomorrow morning and see if I can find out Congrats again! Will u be accepting or are you still waiting on other ADN program acceptance letters?

Hello Everyone, Just became a member :[anb]: today and hoping that posting my first thread will go well *crossing fingers* I just finished my last pre-req and am beginning the application process this week for ADN programs around the LA area. I'll be applying to PCC (Pasadena), GCC (Glendale), LAC+USC School of Nursing (for Spring 2012) and Rio Hondo (Whittier), and Citrus College in Glendora (which is the college I currently attend, for Fall 2012). I'd love to stay here for Citrus's nursing program bc Ive been here for 3 years already and LOVED their science program...DRWBACKS? Well besides the LONGER wait until Fall 2012, I realize their nursing program is fairly new in consideration with many others nearby and I havent heard a ton of feedback on it via our nursing counselors and what not...All I truly hear is that its pretty good, hard (what's new, right?!) and that there are only 24 seats available...So why am I here??! Well I'm here to ask a favor from all of you pre-nursing students in my same boat:aln:, those who have already been accepted into one of these programs:w00t:, and those who have already walked the green mile, buried their last semester in nursing school and officially graduated :grad::nmbrn:To give ANY feedback/info about your experiences with any of THESE programs. ie, acceptance (how tough or how easy?), curriculum and class schedule (difficulty, week or weekends?), professors?, how are clinical rotation hours and what locations?, how is the commute every morning?, attrition rate, costs vs financial aid, if any given?, and finally, to ALL you parents out there, is it TRULY DO-ABLE?!!! (since I myself will have a Kindergartner come this August and am worried about how I'll manage my school around my son's) ANY and ALL advice/help/knowledge would be GREATLY and DEEPLY APPRECIATED!!!:tku: Guys!!!
