    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    Did they confirm your point total and your rank at your appointment? I would contact them ASAP before they send acceptance letters. Maybe it is just a mistake on their end. I saw this happen twice...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    Congrats on getting in carm! I'm not sure if the books for spring will be the same for the cohort that started this fall. Go to bookstore.mtsac.edu and select nursing 1A. There you will see the...

    The WORST TEACHER EVER

    Reporting a professor IS pretty bold. Some teachers are trash and have no business teaching. I reported a crappy professor with the hope that it would help future students since I knew not much could...

    Pre Nursing Student

    The only way to improve your GPA is to take more classes and do well in
  6. I'm not sure if the nursing programs are similar in your area, but out here in California they give you the previous few years applicant statistics meaning you can compare what you have to those who...

    Saftey 2 year school, or ABSN

    I think you should make a decision by considering your ultimate goal. If your goal is to be an RN then I would take the 2 year route and I'm assuming that's the Associate Degree program. If you want...

    Barcode, thank you so much for the info. I really appreciate the time you're taking to answer our eager questions! I'll be sure to do the same if, I mean when, I finish nursing school. So, another...

    What about financial aid?

    The timeline really depends on the schools you are applying to. I created a spreadsheet with schools I would be interested in attending. I included information such as their application deadline (for...

    What about financial aid?

    I think it may depend on what type of loan you got, but I believe the standard grace period is 6 months. If you enroll back in school within 6 months then it will be deferred again. If possible, try...
  12. Have you talked to the professor? Perhaps the professor can guide you in the right direction. After having the first exam you should be able to gauge what the professor will test you on. Maybe...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    Haha I feel like I'm cheating too. I've been a student at mtsac for five years part time (got an AS in another field). Im going to seek your guys advice on choosing a school if I get into LA County...

    @everykindablue I'm in all of the ER except the jail or psych wards and I'm also in the orthopedics clinic. I've had such a great experience there that I want to continue with them. @yclario congrats...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    My first choice is LA County. I volunteer at USC Medical Center and I just want to continue there. I would be happy at Mtsac though since I have been going there for prereqs. That thread isn't active...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    You're guaranteed a spot in the following semester if you're an alternate? So that means all alternates from last semester get in this semester? Seems odd cuz don't they get 40-60 alternates? Anyway...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    If you have any information on their point system and cut offs and you have a chance at getting in I would take the TEAS for RCC. It's a bit of a commute to MtSAC that you would probably have to make...

    The WORST TEACHER EVER

    I would highly suggest you ask the dean again especially if it is toward the beginning of your semester/quarter. Here is a YouTube channel that helped me. It has some physiology in there, but the...
