You do not get to choose your days unfortunately, but that is pretty common in all nursing programs. Yes! Apply to as many as you can to up your chances. Good luck on the TEAS exam, that test can be intimidating, but it isn't too bad. Hopefully this time next year you'll be on your way to an RN license! :)

If you get accepted definetly print out the syllabus and begin the reading the assigned readings, which will help to let you know what they will be jumping right into on the very first day! It's a lot of reading so any head start will help. There are three groups for clinical, two groups go to the hospital on Tues/Weds and my group goes on Thurs/Fri, which was decided before we started. When I applied I had 70 points and we were told the Oct. before spring started. They do announce on the website when acceptance/declination will go out so there is no question of when, plus there is someone you can call, if needed. You applying other places too?

Hi there, The program is intense! But we are all getting through it and there is a lot of support. Clinicals Start week 6 of the first semester so if you live far it would be a good idea to move closer since we have to be at the hospital at 0645 twice a week. The schedule starts out with two lecture classes and two skills lab days then moves to two lecture classes with two clinical lab days and a skills lab section so it is a lot if you are commuting. Best of luck if you decide to apply, it is stressful, but will be worth it in the end! If you have any other questions feel free to ask :)

Hey everyone! I am currently accepted to the College of the Desert RN program beginning Feb. 1st 2016 and I wanted to see who else out there is too! I'm a little scared about how this all begins and would love to meet some of you before orientation if poosible. Have any of you been put into the class yet? I am wondering what the schedule looks like since I will have to work, but there is no info just yet. Enjoy the break before the craziness begins! :)

I'm still new to the area too! It would be awesome to get to know some classmates before we get started. Hopefully some more students reply to this too so we can get a little group going.

I just got my conditional acceptance into the program for Spring! Anyone else get accepted?

Nothing yet...I really hope they start letting us know real soon, the suspense is killing me! You would think they would let us know real soon, especially since they had so few applications.

I applied with 70 points and I am hoping to hear before October because that is just so long to wait! I check my email all day long myself, hopefully we know soon.

Wow!! That's a lot to read, but hopefully it won't be boring. You'll do great I'm sure. The scrubs sound real cute though!

Good luck starting your nursing journey next Monday, that's so exciting!

Good luck! Maybe Spring will be the time for you to start your nursing journey. I have 70 points, so I'm hoping I'll be in the program too. We should know in October. Fingers crossed!

Anyone out there applied for Spring of 2016 Nursing at COD? I am so ready to be a nurse and freaking out about getting in! I thought I would start a thread so we could all talk and support one another. October can't come soon enough!

Did you get accepted for fall or spring? I have had a completed application for a long time now and still haven't even received an initial evaluation! Congrats on being accepted =)

Hi 3shaaa, I think it is nicer to take it into the office physically because you know, for sure, it made it there. I know I was stressing out for weeks because it takes so long when you send it in the mail and I live right next to Cal State San Marcos, I wish I had known I could take it in myself! But ether way you do it, just call the EL office a few weeks after you send/drop off your transcripts, the person I spoke to on the phone was really nice and they tell you if they have everything and where in the process you are! Good luck! =)

Did it take 6 weeks after you submitted your summer transcript @naturegirl? My transcript has been there a week and nothing yet it was sent electronically and that was supposed to be faster, should I be worried? Haha
