  1. Riverside Community College RCC Spring Cohort 2014

    I only remember doing two one in first semester and one in last semester. There were also two individual project case studies in third semester where we had to do a powerpoint presentation and the other was just read off the paper.
  2. Riverside Community College RCC Spring Cohort 2014

    Yes, yes and always group, class size was 80 but lectures 40 and clinical 10.
  3. Riverside Community College Nursing Program Spring 2016

    I would not recommend WCU...they have a bad reputation and the tuition will be $100K. To have all your questions answered go to the Pre-Nursing Workshop held by the nursing counselor and RCC students (go to the Riverside Campus ones). Here is the web...
  4. ADN nurses Los Angeles

    I agree with what everyone else is saying. I just graduated last week with my ADN and I live 60 miles east of Los Angeles and even out here it is really tough to get a job. The only reason why I can obtain a job more quickly is due to connections I m...
  5. UCLA New Grad Program Winter 2016

    I noticed this problem recently too with magnet hospitals and some other big name hospitals. I would think that having a B.S. from a UC in Medical Bio, started my BSN coursework at a Cal State while in my ADN, internship over the summer and fluent ...
  6. UCLA New Grad Program Winter 2016

    I'm pretty disappointed as I talked to the manager also and she said they don't take any ADN RN applicants even with concurrent enrollment in an RN to BSN program. They will only consider you if your BSN is completed. So looks like I won't get into t...
  7. UCLA New Grad Program Winter 2016

    Hello! I am applying to this program too. Yay! I am still doing last minute edits on my cover letter and resume though. I think it possibly means that the application is due at midnight tonight.
  8. RCC Nursing Fall 2016 possible applicants

    Hi Guys! I highly suggest coming to a nursing workshop it is the best place to have every single question answered and the ability to set an appointment with the nursing counselor who will go over your case specifically one on one. Please come as cur...
  9. Riverside Community College Nursing Program Spring 2016

    I just took the Jump Start over the summer where you take 1 or 2 classes to get started on the BSN before you graduate. Because I took the class I have guaranteed admission into the program. I'm in my last semester and just finished the application p...
  10. Riverside Community College Nursing Program Spring 2016

    That is 100% true as the chemistry grade will be factored into your ADN GPA as it is a requirement for the Board of Nursing in California. So you have to have passed chemistry or you will not be allowed to take your boards. Like I said earlier the wa...
  11. Riverside Community College Nursing Program Spring 2016

    You should take Chemitry 2A as this will qualify you to advancing your degree to a BSN in the future. I would recommend not rushing your sciences as you want to achieve the highest grade possible to be competitive.
  12. Schools that accept pre req retakes?

    I can't speak for all California universities but I have not encountered a school that would take the full retake grade. From what I remember they would take the average of the two grades you received. So if you got an F the first time and an A the s...
  13. Riverside Community College Nursing Program Spring 2016

    I just want to give you guys a heads up now. You really want to not cut any corners on taking the required prerequisite classes. The way that nursing is going you will more than likely have to get a BSN immediately after your ADN to be competitive fo...
  14. Already have a bachelors...

    Well...I have to agree with them too to be honest. When I mean work I'm talking more like 8-12 hours a week and really nothing more during the 2 year ADN program. Sometimes I won't even be able to work at all for a week or two. The BSN is totally dif...
  15. Already have a bachelors...

    O don't worry at all you are actually around the average age as we have students as young as 20 and as old as in their 60s. So never feel like that as I am 29 and had those feelings too...got over it quickly once I got into the program. About 25% are...
  16. Already have a bachelors...

    Really consider going to a workshop before applying; there is one in Riverside this Thursday. I say this because I did have to go back to take a couple classes I didn't have as a UCR student and was given direction on which ones I needed and if you...
  17. Already have a bachelors...

    Hey! I am currently enrolled as a 4th semester at Riverside City College and I have a bachelor's from UCR so I know the dilemma you are going through. I chose RCC because compared to all the other nursing schools I talked to, which was many, I felt t...
  18. Riverside Community College fall 2014

    You guys will probably find out soon. Intake day is June 26th so you'll know before then. I found out I got accepted December 6th and 10 days later was intake day. So hopefully that helps.
  19. Riverside Community College fall 2014

    I took mine at RCC and you get your score an hour after the end time of the exam. You don't have to wait there I checked mine on my phone.
  20. Riverside Community College fall 2014

    You need two tb tests consecutively (must be done within 3 months of semester start date), adult dosage of tdap, MMR titer, varicella titer, polio, flu shot, hep B titer, current bls cpr that wont expire before the semester ends and a physical. The p...
  21. Riverside Community College fall 2014

    You can purchase the ATI tests on the website. You get two of them and you can take each exam twice. The nice thing too is that it times you so you can see how much time you spend on each section. Time was a factor for a lot of people especially on t...
  22. Riverside Community College fall 2014

    I'm in the program and for the teas I greatly recommend paying the $80 for the practice tests. They are harder than the actual test so if you do well on them and study the areas you scored low on you'll do amazing well on the actual exam. The book is...
  23. Riverside Community College Nursing Spring 2014

    We should do a forum meetup one of these days now that were at school together. Ive already met EMT, thomasbean, and Nurse5.0 by chance. What do you guys think?
  24. Riverside Community College Nursing Spring 2014

    I was wondering do we get priority registration throughout the program? I need to take nutrition and I figured I'd take it during summer session but if I don't have priority I probably won't get in. Anyone know?
  25. Riverside Community College Nursing Spring 2014

    I bought it on amazon from a seller for $72. I didn't think it was that bad.
