Hi all, Current Sierra student about to graduate... I don't know if anyone started a class FB group yet, but we have a Current Sierra College Nursing Page for all 1st and 2nd-year students. I wanted to share it with you in case anyone wants has ques...

Hello there, Starting a thread for Sierra College's Fall 2017 ADN program applicants. Just thought we could use this to keep in touch for updates. Anyone else applying?? How many times have you applied for Sierra and/or other programs?? This wi...

It is much more grade based now. The majority of the points come from your science GPA, and the TEAS score. And then everyone with the minimum points is entered into the lottery. I'm in the current class and with a 3.75 GPA and an 84% on my TEAS, I d...

I am already in the program, I wanted to tell you about our Facebook group Sierra College ADN Class of 2019 if you wanted to add it!

Are any of you accepted into the LVN to RN program for 2018 at Sierra??

Hello All, I am starting a thread for those applying to Chamberlain for the class that starts May 2017. What does your GPA and HESI scores look like?? I have a 3.72 GPA and will be taking the HESI for the first time tomorrow morning. I am a litt...

Hey there, There isn't "homework" this summer, you will get your syllabus a few weeks before and will have reading assignments you can start before class which is your homework. Focus on getting all of the documents completed ASAP. Once that's don...

The full schedule will be in the syllabus which you will get before class. They should give tentative schedules at the orietatiom in Summer(ours was in June). You have two days of class AND two days of clinical each week. Your clinical shifts are typ...

They do notify everyone the same day of acceptance as far as we know.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone accepted! It's an amazing program and we can't wait to meet you all at your orientation this summer! As far as the schedule for 1st and 2nd semester you have class Monday 8am-230pm Tuesday/Wednesday Clinical 630am-330pm o...

Hey Cimarron, They do not accept AP courses for prerequisite classes. Colleges may give you credit, but the nursing program requires specific COLLEGE courses that have been approved as equivalent, they don't look into high school classes for equival...

With your experience, you shouldn't have much of a problem getting a job in this area. It might take some time, but start applying as soon as you can because the hospitals hire in waves from what I understand. Kaiser pays the most, but all the hospi...

Hey Everyone! I am a current Sierra College ADN student with Todd. Good luck to everyone applying, it really is an AMAZING program. If you have any questions, let me know!

They allow you to take the HESI twice. If your score isn't high enough the first time, they will have you take it again. For me I found out about 2-4weeks after I took it the first time. The HESI is usually the last piece of your application to subm...

Did anyone get an interview or position without a Senior Preceptorship? My program does not have them anymore...

Chamberlain weighs each section of the HESI differently, so overall you score a 91, but when they weigh certain sections higher than it will adjust your score depending on how well you did.

Hey Lorx, I took all of my pre requisites at Sierra. The classes I took that transferred over were English 1a, 1c, Math D, Math 13, Comm 3, Bio 4, 5, 6, Chem 2A, Nutrition 10 (Allowed me to test out of one nutrition course they require), Human D...

Hello, I thought I would start a thread for those applying for Sac State's BSN program from Fall 2017 since applications will be here before we know it. Curious to see the GPA's and TEAS scores for that application period.

You take the whole thing, I'm not sure how they calculate it. But it didn't affect my friends acceptance, they your score differently.

You do still have to take the HESI, but the sections you haven't completed don't count against you. My friend just started May 1st and she had not completed her sciences yet. I highly recommend taking as many classes as you can at a JC to cut down t...

Hey hawaiilala, we have a group on Facebook called Sierra College ADN Class of 2019. Add it to connect with some of us before the program starts! Look into Lincoln, Roseville, Possibly Citrus Heights closer to a freeway, you could also look into Aub...

I believe they adjust the scoring to make certain sections hold more weight. So if you scored lower in certain sections that Chamberlain weighs more heavily it will drop your adjusted grade.

Unfortunately, they said they send out all acceptance letters and alternates at the same time. Sierra has always sent out acceptances early and around the end of April even though they say it could take four weeks. I have heard that next year they ...

Hey guys, I made a Facebook group for those accepted to the program to keep in touch and get to know each other before we start! It's called "Sierra College ADN Class of 2019". I look forward to meeting you all at orientation!
