Generally very high. Just remember that if you are an alternate and you don’t get in, you’re guaranteed a spot for the next class. The Dean mentioned today that they haven’t had any declinations, but keep you’re hopes up. For my cohort, they went thr...

Working is HIGHLY discouraged, but totally doable... depending on how well you are dedicated and know how to time manage. We we have several students who work and they do perfectly fine. It’s just a lot of dedication. I personally work one 8 hour sh...

Congratulations to those who got accepted! You will love Sierra. I graduate this May. They prepare you very well for life after the program.

Hi everyone! For those who got accepted to Sierra and were at Orientation on Tuesday. I am one of the people in charge of our mentor program and we have created a Facebook group in order for those to join and ask questions regarding class/clinical. W...

Sierra does not have an LVN program.

Same with Sierra. Med sheets are required for all care plans. Meds are definitely overwhelming first semester, but it begins to come together around second.

It could be useful. I didn't take it. Again, schools are different so they may incorporate it differently. When we had Skills lab, they took an hour of time each week and we had a Math Professor come in and teach. First semester is all about pill dos...

I took pharm at SCC before starting my first semester at Sierra last fall. I honestly don't recommend it. There are so many classifications of meds in 6 weeks, and I personally didn't retain any of the info. I don't know how other schools incorporate...

Congrats to everyone who got in. Us current second semester students look forward to meeting everyone at orientation.

The family member is there because the school of nursing wants to make sure you have a "support system." Nursing School is hard, and they want to talk to the family briefly about the support system, simply put, that you WILL need throughout the two y...

At The first orientation, they don't really go into too much detail. But at the second or third orientation, they will have us (current second semester students-- will be third) be there to talk. So bring all your questions as we can answer them.

Congrats! That sure was early. I'm currently in my second semester at sierra, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Sierra is the only local one I'm aware of that you don't need to apply to the school before applying to the nursing program... unless it changed this application period as they changed their application process. Just be aware that ARC's and SCC's (an...

Honestly, I want to say you won't need it, but it depends on how much you remember from A&P and Micro. When they go over a lecture about a body system (let's say GI), they sometimes do a small brief overview of the system, and then go straight in...

Those 6 units in the summer are upper division (human development and cultural anthropology). They aren't the lower division you take at the community college level. If you have already taken them, you don't need to retake them. Those are just the re...

I'm in the merger at Sierra. They basically take 15 from each school (Sierra, ARC, and SCC) and make one giant cohort. It starts in between the second and third semester. In that summer, you take 6 units at Sac State to gain residency, and then you d...

Apply for the LVN. I did it as a backup as well (last year). I applied to both SCC LVN and RN program, and got denied for the RN but accepted to the LVN. I was also denied by ARC and Butte (RN) and I was waiting on Sierra to respond. Well I found out...

Best of luck to all of you applying! I'm currently in my second semester at Sierra. If anyone has any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I know a bunch will ask (as we all asked in the Fall 2017 thread) how many times it took applying; it was m...

Hy everyone. I would like some feedback if you all don't mind. I recently found out that I got accepted into the Sacramento City College LVN program. To be honest, I only applied to it because I know how hard it is to get into an ADN program due to r...

Hi everyone! So we just had our first orientation last night, and I wanted to let everyone know who has been wondering about one thing... There was 297 people who applied for Fall 2017 (which seems very low in my opinion. As everyone turned in their ...

Hello, I hope I am posting this in the right spot. I have finally been accepted to a Nursing Program (Sierra College in Rocklin, CA) for the Fall 2017 semester coming up. I was wondering if I should take a summer class of Pharmacology (I would take i...

Thank you! And same to you. I'm glad to get A&P and Micro over with lol. Now it's time to step it up and start nursing school... and possibly die a billion times over the next two years lol. And no, I won't be going to the ceremony. I know it's ...

Oh wow! You received an alternate spot even after you received your rejection? That's very odd, but so cool. I have two friends that got in to SCC. I'm hoping you get in :) best of luck to you! We have our first orientation on the 23rd. Supper exited...

I have applied to the 3 colleges you mentioned, and was denied for SCC and ARC (ARC was my first choice because that's where I completed my pre-reqs. I got into the LVN Program though at SSC and would've started Spring 2018... However, I got accepted...

i thought the same thing. However, it may take just as long to get into an RN program (Without LVN or whatever). You could always still apply to RN programs while in the LVN program. That's what I was planning to do if I didn't get into an RN program...
