Hey everyone. I also applied this semester to moorpark and college of the canyons. I already received a denial from COC so I'm hoping moorpark accepts me. I spoke with the nursing department at MC and she told me that if you are accepted you will get the phone call and have to sign the acceptance letter. If you do not get the phone call by November 6, it means that you did not get in. If not accepted, you will be receiving a letter in the mail that you were not selected by November 31. So I guess if you do not hear anything by Nov 6th, this means you were not accepted. Good of luck to everyone!

I just finished all my prerequisites for nursing school and worked as a CNA during school. I HATED being a CNA. I disliked being treated like diaper patrol- like changing patients is the only task I was suited for....the work was exhausting, the pay laughable and hours never ending. I couldn't stand the way the other CNAs and nurses treated the patients so poorly. Right out of school it's hard to find a position that's not in a LTC or SNF. Everyone said it was the environment I was working in. I still am trying to find a CNA position in a hospital while I wait for admission to an RN school. I have many friends who are RNs and MSNs who started out as CNAs as well and said the same thing. They hated it. It wasn't until they pushed through nursing school that they were able to find a department that suited them.

Hello i just applied to COC RN program for spring 2017 and am seeing if anyone else has also! I have also applied for moorpark and thinking about applying to Glendale as well. Should I be studying for the TEAS? I don't have a high GPA in bio (all Cs...) do I even have a chance of being accepted?? thanks for any replies ������

I'm currently finishing up my prerequisites for the RN program and decided to get some experience by becoming a CNA first. I just got my first job at a SNF and I HATE it! I love the patients and I seriosuly dont mind bed baths or diaper changes but I didn't realize that this would the hardest craziest job of my entire life! I dread going into work every day and sweat my ass off every second I am there. I work with women who are rude, dont speak much english and talk **** about me in spanish (I understand it but i dont want to cause problems at work....). I float from wing to wing and am not given any information about the 8-12 patients I need to care for and when I ask no one can give me information or they get very annoyed that Im even asking...i offer help to everyone who asks but when I need help suddenly everyone has gone missing or is "on a break" or "has a bad back". No one helps me with any transfers or tasks that require 2 or more people. I am constantly being yelled at by treatment nurses and charge nurses about new tasks they throw onto my already full list of unlimited thing to do. Im going crazy! I don't want to resent the job because I do not want my patients to notice how much I despise working there. I'm scared that I'm going to not like nursing because of just how much I hate this job. Is it like this everywhere or do I just work in a bad place? Any adivse is greatly appreciated. Help!
