  1. Los Medanos ADN program Fall/2015

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't apply to San Mateo, and I believe applicant qualifying status was contingent on meeting GPA requirements and minimum TEAS score but wasn't the determining factor to acceptance. All the ones I...

  2. Los Medanos ADN program Fall/2015

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In total, I believe 21! It was a huge amount due to grants that were awarded. I didn't think I had a chance as I was told they typically took 8-12 LVNs and I was waitlisted at 15. I think there were...

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hey Mariaaami- It'll kinda depend on your learning style, but since I relied heavily on lecture recordings I barely touched the books. I'm not entirely sure about your Skills course as it'll be a...

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If you guys wanna save money I'd recommend waiting- the SNA/Class officers will more than likely look into packaged deals for ACLS/PALS cert classes to take either during spring break of 2nd yr or...

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi ccamaliza, I totally understand your pain about distance, I commuted to and from Sacramento while in the program. Your car and pocket will be glad to be a little closer! My FA advisor was very...

    I had day shifts, so 0645-1445 (includes post conference). 4th sem you'll go the entire shift and give report. There might be night shifts, I think they go from

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There will be opportunities, all depending on your unit and nurse. Generally, it's pretty scant- if you're ever in the ED that will be your best bet so always jump at the opportunity. In the skills...

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I did about a year of school nursing when I was accepted to the nursing program. I graduated 2013, so my skills were still fairly fresh in my mind, any longer and I wouldn't have remembered anything!...

    mm0828 replied to ae1021's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hey Melissa, I was an LVN-transition so I can only speak for the 3rd and 4th semester clinicals. The facilities change depending on availability for students; I spent both semesters at John Muir...

    Greetings and congrats on the incoming RN c/o 2017 cohort! I'm a recent grad from LMC's RN program. Learned a lot, had a blast and you guys are most definitely in for a treat. We lost 2 amazing...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    I rented online. Everything in the bundle except the HESI card I've purchased, because I wasn't sure if I needed to buy the 1 yr or 2yr version since I'm 2nd year. But it's CONSIDERABLY cheaper than...

    I went to the LVN transition class today and there's also some books not included in the bundle that we'll need- (All are Davis Publisher) "Nurse's Pocket Guide Diagnoses, Prioritized Interventions...

    Ashley, Yay! I found a classmate! (I'll be one of the LVN-transition students) I'm looking forward to meeting the fellow 2nd years and LVN's. Are you apart of any study groups, or do you guys have a...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    I just figured that out by looking at the handout of the pictures of the book covers. On your acceptance letter, does it list all the enclosed documents that were supposed to be in your packet?...

    Hmph. I must've got a different flyer cuz it doesn't say that anywhere on mine! Thx for the heads up. Did you already order your uniform/patches? I tracked down those old threads and must've been...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    You're probably right, I just thought that we needed to provide the hard copies since it said to mail the Physical forms to Los Medanos. It does look like it was an old form, since it says it's due on...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    I was having a hard time with loans too, since Los Medanos doesn't work with any private loan companies like Sallie Mae. (I already have an outstanding loan with them from LVN school). Fortunately my...

    mm0828 replied to AlexandraGiang's topic in LPN to RN

    Oh no! So sorry! At least you still have your number 1 waitlist spot so it's really only a matter of time! What are you guys doing as far as financial aid goes? I was banking on Private Loans to help...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    What's everyone doing as far as Financial Aid? Everyone plan on keeping a job while in the program? I'm kinda starting to freak out, because I was relying on private loans to get me through my living...

    mm0828 replied to MariposaOak's topic in California Nursing

    Where have you been looking to re-locate? At first I was thinking of commuting from Sacramento but that's totally gonna eat up gas and toll money! Bay Area rent is so expensive compared to Sac, though...
