This is great only you cannot hold a Bachelors degree or higher for this program (that's what the website says) and the OP and myself already have Bachelor degrees :/ But this is great info for people who are looking into these type of programs

I'm in the same situation as you. I'm currently in an ADN program and have a previous Bachelors in Biology and am eventually looking into NP school. The problem with University of Arlington Texas is that I do not see a pathophysiology class in their ...

Just looked at their website and you need to be a resident of specific states to be considered for their program :/ California is not one of them.

If I were you, I would take it in the Spring. If I could, that's what I would've done but I wasn't done with my pre-reqs so I couldn't apply until Summer. Plus, who wants to be stressed in Summer? I think Spring is cake compared to Summer. The only b...

In my class, no one failed for ADN 151. It is very intense though. I think people start failing later on. A girl I knew from last semester didn't make it this semester :/ I'm in my first real semester of Med Surg which is technically the second semes...

Actually disregard this comment. I would go to whichever school finished first. Would you be done sooner at PCC @heyrenee?

Agreed. If NCLEX pass rates are similar, I would go to whichever school is closest. Instead of being in traffic, you could use the time to study :)

Congrats and good luck on your TEAS!

My stats were just ok. Science GPA was 3.7 but overall was low 2.7 (wasn't focused while getting my Bachelors). I did have health care experience, a year of Spanish in college and as already mentioned a Bachelors degree. I forget what else they give...

To everyone who applied to Rio Hondo... If you do not initially get in, don't lose hope! I was not accepted initially but as people denied their spot, I was given a spot last minute. I had to take my TEAS and only had two days of studying time! Lucki...

I have an 18 month old and am currently in my 2nd semester of nursing school. It's tough but it can be done! I make sure I study all week when I have a babysitter and spend time with my baby and husband on the weekends. I go to sleep at 10-11pm at ni...

Yes you're right. But there are so many other hospitals in CA that aren't VA so that shouldn't deter someone from attending a non NLNAC school. The only thing is that now many hospitals are being very picky and only want a Bachelors degree. I'm more ...

Have you been to the nursing department at Rio Hondo? That would be the first step since you already go there. There is definitely an RN program there. I attend there now. It is my first semester and I love it so far. I would suggest speaking with th...

I just realized that you have to save the PowerPoint to a PDF file that way you can highlight, underline, and type notes directly on the PDF. You can't do this if it's a PowerPoint file. So don't forget to convert it to a PDF. You would need to do th...

Ahhh I'm excited and nervous at the same time! It actually wasn't too bad getting all the stuff done. Pretty much just a visit to the health center and CPR class. The bad part was paying for it. Haha. 4 more days!!

You should call them and see if you can still request it. It looks like there are still a lot of spots available. I think a lot of students haven't been cleared yet... There's no harm in trying! Explain that you live closer to Arcadia and having a cl...

Congrats! I would easily pick CSUN because it's cheaper. There is no guarantee you'll get a job faster just because you graduated from Mount St Mary's. They both give out BSNs. If you outshine someone who went to Mount St. Mary's in a job interview, ...

Thanks fionas32! I just registered for class today and have clinicals at Arcadia Methodist. I'm so excited!! Let me know how your orientation goes! I believe it's tomorrow isn't it? Hopefully you guys have already started getting your vaccinations in...

Hi booboo12, I just got my CRN number to register!! I'm at Arcadia Methodist for clinicals. See you soon!
