Hey everyone! I just got my acceptance letter yesterday to la county as well after being denied twice before. I'm a little confused because as of Tuesday I was going to be attending Cerritos college rn program but now I don't know because I know la county is a good school but it's also about 6000 dollars more. Anyone have any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hey utut, the same thing actually happened to me with Cerritos. I just got a letter about 2 weeks ago that they have a spot for me for spring 2012. I was hesistant at first because I wanted to get into a bsn program but I figured I might as well start somewhere now than later and I have 2 friends that have done the program and they said they liked it a lot. Are you going to be attending in spring 2012?

Hi sarah.white! I did actually decide to attend Cerritos college in spring 2012. It is very close to my house so I wouldn't have to move and it isn't very expensive compared to most of the other programs I applied to. Are you attending the orientation on November 4th? Thanks for the reply. Hello JD! So as I said earlier to Sarah I am going to attend Cerritos only so I can get started already. I've felt stagnant for the pass year and a half so I'm excited to just get into to a program so I can work towards the career I want. I did apply to APU for their absn but did not get in, however I was hesitant from the beginning because it does cost a lot and I would've probably had to move. So the costs for the private school program are a little steep for me especially since I have precious loans from my bachelors that I still need to pay. As for some of the cal states absn that are more affordable, they are very competitive and I do have good grades but it seemed like not good enough for those schools who had cohorts of 40 with hundreds of applicants. Ive heard from many people that hospitals prefer a bsn so I am planning on doing the rn-bsn bridge program. Was it hard for you to get a job as an adn-rn? Thanks for the reply!

Hello Everyone, So after 2 years of taking pre-reqs for nursing right after finishing my bachelors I have finally been accepted into Cerritos College Nursing program for Spring 12'. Last minute they notified me that I had been admitted. I was super excited to hear this after being denied from other schools I had applied to. I applied to glendale community, pasadena community, lac nursing, and I was going to apply to Mt. St. Marys Accelerated program but not sure if I should since I have been accepted already to a program but its only a ADN. Having a little dilemma if I should use my bachelors apply to an Accelerated program or go to cerritos program and then do a bridge program RN-BSN or RN-MSN because I eventually want to become a NP. Any advice or anyone else with thoughts like these? Thank u! :redpinkhe
