Come down to California, ADNs welcome - as a new grad it is tough to get a job here, but with the baby boomer nurses hopefully starting to retire in larger numbers at some point in the next few years hopefully the new grads will start getting picked ...

I'm a mother of 1 (a 6 year old), wife, full time employee, and will also be starting the program in August. I switched from my current position to a position with a little more flexibility (from M-F days, to Swing - varying days). I work in a hosp...

Hey guys! I've never posted in here, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I have worked for a hospital as an MA for 6+ years, and after 7 application periods, was finally accepted into nursing school *woofrigginhoo*! In such, I need to transition out ...

Did you ever apply for this position? I am currently looking to switch positions to accommodate my nursing school hours (I was accepted after 3 1/2 years, and am frantically searching for another position). There is a sort of Unit Coordinator positio...

swear i'm horrible at these boards... see next post

I've recently been accepted into an ADN program. I've worked in a hospital for 6 years, under nurses and md's, and have known plenty of people who have gone through the program. I have also been the sole provider for my family - so as expected I'm ...

i guess i just need a hand of encouragement at this point. are any previous applicants no longer qualifying to apply to the scc nursing program due to the program criteria change? this would be my 4th time applying, finally i felt like i was going...

I'm also in the same boat as a ton of you! I work fulltime and fully support my family, and bless my husbands heart he just hasn't had a ton of luck on the job circuit - works 2 jobs now as a prep cook but only makes minimum wage. I don't judge him...

ARC automatically put anyone that has applied 5 or more times in the top 30%, and then weighted it based on the points. That doesn't mean that there still isn't a chance, but when I dropped off my paperwork this morning they did mention that it was ...

Yay, 7th times a charm for both of us!!!! Congrats, can't wait to meet ya!

Congrats!!!! See you're going to be great! How awesome is that!!!

Thought I'd let you all know that I got my acceptance email last night (lucky number 7, 7th times a charm?) So it looks like they're starting to send them out.

I move forward with my life too. The majority of people that I know that have been accepted, and I work in a hospital - so it's been a lot, have applied 5, 6, 7, and 8 times. I know its frustrating, but life still goes on. If it's your passion to ...

My life has literally been put on hold for 3 1/2 years now, plus the prerequisite years. It's been beyond nerve wracking, applying to nursing school in NorCal definitely is not for the faint of heart. Wish you luck in this years pool!!!!

Our stories pretty much mirror each other. This is the 7th time in a row applying to ARC, stop qualifying for SCC when they did the point system application switch - my freaking goodness, at this point I apply and don't even expect to get anything b...

I too was .5 points from being able to apply to SCC which drove me nuts. Still drives me nuts. This is currently my 5th application to ARC, and I've known a few people there who got in after their 6th and 7th applications, so unfortunately I don't ...

Congrats!!!

Yea it's usually around that time - though they say it can take up to 6 weeks - I've been applying for 2 years and it's usually been 2-3. Good luck!

This is crazy! I'm trying to so hard not to be discouraged here, but it's been 5 years of work and they keep making it more difficult to get in to the Northern Ca schools! I live in Sacramento and the Jr. Colleges down here have even thrown me for ...

Got my email this morning - 4th time applying & wasn't accepted. Argh! The wait goes on...

It's my 4th time as well and I have been anxiously awaiting an email saying something, ANYTHING! Glad to hear I'm not alone

I also did not qualify with the new points system although I work in the healthcare field, got an 88 on my TEAS, and have B's and A's in all my prereqs. When I was talking to the AH adviser at SCC she was surprised that I couldn't get in, but also a...

I used the ATI testing TEAS V book and it was pretty straight forward on the test. I didn't study like I should have (I only studied for about 2 days) but I got an 87. Not quite as good as I wanted, but not too bad. I feel if you study the book, a...
