Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about the program, Skiro! I'm excited and nervous to start.

Hi all, I just got pulled off the alternate list and was accepted. They emailed me on 6/3. I'm not sure of my total points but I live in northern California so I don't have the extra points for service area residency. Excited to join you all :) Is anyone else coming from out of the area?

Hi fellow students, I'd like your opinion on this. I'm changing careers to nursing. I was laid off in June and decided to just go to school full time. However I now have a job offer for a new full time job. It is totally unrelated to nursing. I am currently living with my mom so I don't need to worry about rent. However a lot of the absn programs I am looking at are very expensive. I think I could save about 20-25000/year working at this job which would allow me to go into less debt. I would work for about 1-2 years before starting a nursing program. The cons are that it takes away time from volunteering at a hospital. I was also planning to get my CNA license in the fall and then hopefully work as a CNA to get experience in healthcare. I would no longer be able to do this. I can still take some prerequisites while working, it is hard for me but I am a good student so I'm confident I can still get good grades. This may extend the time I need to take for prereqs by a semester. Please let me know if you guys have any advice or opinions about whether or not to take this job!
