I'm starting this thread for everyone applying for COC's spring 2014 RN program. Please feel free to join in. We're all in this together! For anyone who's thinking of applying, the deadline for turning in your transcripts and requesting your prerequi...

It sounds like they based the uniform ship date on the new RN cohort and forgot about the LVN to RN students :-/ I'll call the Allied Health office when they return from the holidays. beccas1128 - When I attended orientation a couple of years ago, t...

I contacted Dove Apparel and they told me that I need to contact the nursing department and have the nursing department call them to change the date of our first clinical. The Allied Health office is closed until 1/2 :-/ I really don't understand wh...

erick - Yes, I'm in the bridge program. We have twenty students in the class and we will all be in the same theory class and will be separated into two groups of ten students each for the clinicals. We all have the same instructor, we just have a dif...

On the Dove Apparel website it says, "My Clinical Start Date: Mon, Feb 10 2014" and "Bill & Ship Date: Mon, Jan 27,2014." On my schedule it says my first clinical is on 2/4. Is anyone starting clinical on or after 2/10? If they don't ship out the...

batman - I'm in the LVN to RN bridge program and the schedule was sent in an email to my COC email account. I have my COC email set up to send a copy of every email to my personal email account. On the left side of the COC homepage there's a link to ...

The schedules have been sent out :-) For the transitions course we need to purchase six books and a CD! Oh my...

doodlebuggie - Yes, you're right, good connections will be a big help finding a good job. If you can really impress the charge nurse or a well-regarded floor nurse while doing clinicals or have a good friend that works in a hospital that still hires ...

Scottienurse - I was afraid of that :-/ I guess I'm just going to have to buck up and fork over the cash. Beans and weenies and ramen noodles here I come! Oh well, it could be worse. A friend of mine is paying over $30,000 for her RN to BSN! I'm he...

Scottienurse - Thanks for the great information! I'll qualify for the program after I finish the critical thinking class. I'm registered to take philosophy 106 during the winter intersession. $2000? Yikes! Is that for one summer session? One day a we...

Chrrristinad - Congratulations on getting into AVC! I'm sorry that you won't be joining us at COC but I understand that you prefer the one year program at AVC :-) I wish you all the best! jessii427 - I haven't received an email yet but I'm thinking ...

erick - Thanks for the reply :-) Good news!

The CSUN notifications have been sent out! Check your COC email :-) Does anyone know what the CSUN schedule is like as far as how many days a week the classes are and what the hours are, i.e. 9am to 3pm etc.? Also, Scottienurse mentioned that financi...

LVN to RN CSUN applicants - I just spoke with the nursing department and they will be sending out CSUN notifications to the LVN to RN students this week. They told me that they just received confirmation from CSUN that they will accept LVN bridge stu...

TikTokk - That sounds a lot better than what I imagined it would be :-) I guess I'm just wary of any class at this point. This statistics class has me bound up like I just drank five bottles of kaopectate! Figuratively speaking of course...

TikTokk - Thanks for the info :-) I think I'll call the nursing office on Monday to find out why I wasn't chosen. Which class did you take to satisfy the critical thinking requirement? I'm just curious because when I checked out English 102 and 103,...

I should add that I don't see how they could send those of us who haven't yet completed the CSUN prerequisites (IGETC or CSU-GE, chemistry, statistics, and critical thinking) an email stating that we are accepted into the program. Perhaps they will w...

erick - Thanks for the info! I'll prepare for a very long day... I didn't receive an email about the COC to CSUN program. I called the nursing office but they are already closed for the day. I received an email on Wednesday asking me when I was going...

Just a reminder, the Fire Safety class is tomorrow at 9:00am. I can't imagine what we'll be doing that will take six hours. If anyone has taken the class, would you mind shedding some light on whether we'll actually be there for six hours and what we...

Luz - I understand your frustration. Here's my take on the issue. If you get accepted into the COC to CSUN program, within two years you will not only have your RN but also have one year of your BSN completed. If you decide on the two year program at...

Chrrristinad - Yes, it does create a bit of a sticky situation...

Thanks Chrrristinad and Luz for the info! At least now I know what to expect! Oh well, I'll complete more of the the requirements for the BSN during the interim.

Luz - If we do get into psych in fall 2014, do we then progress into med/surg for the other half of the semester? I'm sorry to hear that we're losing you to Valley College :-( I wish you all the best!

Chrrristinad - Thanks for the info on Kaplan! You saved me a phone call :-) I was under the same impression, that the transitions course was eight weeks and psych was eight weeks. When you say that, "some LVNs will need to wait until spring 2015 to b...

erick - I'm sorry. Apparently, the wording of my post was unclear. I hope that I can clarify. What I was trying to communicate is that if they accept ten candidates from each cohort of new applicants (thirty students per cohort with ten students per ...
