This happened to me because I was told that if I didn't list something was worse than listing.. So I listed something on my lives can hat didn't even show up and I was delayed because I had to write an afidavit saying why I listed it... This might be...

Rent the "specialty" books... Like maternal child, psych... Fundamentals, med surg, pharm you use the whole time... These are your core books you NEED. I know that incoming classes are buying something online like a simulation thing that's mandatory....

We use pharm book for three semesters FYI and yes the fire card is during orientation

I know this is little early but I will be applying in July for Spring 2015... I'm finishing up Micro this semester and will have 86 points! Anyone else lurking that's going to apply to?? Say hi :)

What do you mean it's not state funded???? Tax payer money is what keeps our school running!!! I get cal grant, pell grant, loans, and SEOG grants

Yes, I'm 2nd semester!! To me, it's tough, but I think nursing school isn't as hard as some people make it out to be lol... There are some clinical instructors that are TOUGH and will make you rethink your dreams of being a nurse (I personally haven'...

Wow, they sent acceptances out really fast!!! Congrats everyone! You won't regret going to this school even though it is challenging

Wei do this... As a first semester. We are lucky that our school is "apart" of the hospital we do clinicals at and we are allowed to go to the floor and introduce ourselves without our instructor present.. But no patient care is allowed at all. Not e...

Crying happens... My first semester we had competencies for wound dressing and some girl in my group literally made herself pass out because she was so nervous that she hadn't been practicing and when she came to she had our clinical instructor and a...

I didn't read all the posts on here so I don't know if anyone else went over this but most of the "drug seekers" had legitimate pain at some point and some of these people are in chronic pain all the time and unfortunately were prescribed these black...

I LOVE my school....I'm so happy I chose county.... I feel like no other school will prepare me to be the best nurse I can be besides this school.. I've seen things already that most people only read about in textbooks and I'm only in second semester...

Googled... Dalteparin sodium is produced through controlled nitrous acid depolymerization of sodium heparin from *porcine* intestinal mucosa followed by a chromatographic purification process. Porcine= pork

Most likely it has pork products in it.. It is an injection... Like most vaccines contain egg products so allergy to eggs is a contraindication.

Hopefully orientation didn't scare you guys too much Excited for tomorrow???

There were plenty of people who worked in first semester and had kids and did fine... It's all about knowing how to manage your time because there are still people who have no job or kids and are still struggling.

BAC of 385. 25 yo found down in own vomit. Resulted in rhabdomyolysis

Well pharm you do not start until week 8 or 9... I'd read up on fundamentals stuff like vital signs, health assessment.... The thing in my opinion that sets la county apart from other schools is that they line up pharm with med surg.... So on a Thurs...

hi!! I just finished up my first semester at LA county and I hope I can ease some of your concerns. As far as the expense goes, LA county encourages everyone to sign a tuition deferment which defers all but $1200 a semester.... I get cal grants that ...

Yeah they were. For our pre registration there were people there that were wait listed

Congrats to everyone that got in!!! I'll be seeing you during orientation week!!

If you have the grades... Do NOT wait on a lottery program. I got into every school I applied to with the exception of LACC, which was.. Guess what? A lottery program!! The amount of pre req information you use in nursing school is tremendous and wai...

Hope you guys find out week!! LA county is such a great school :)

Good luck guys!! I can't believe we are almost done with the semester and another cohort is coming in.. It goes by so fast!!!!

For everyone's that waiting.. For spring admission they told us we were going to get notified December 1st but I got an email on nov 13th notifying me of acceptance.., if it's the same timeframe it's either gonna be this coming week or next week.... ...

LVNs first then general
