Great!! Congrats!!

CONGRATS!!!

I just got a call and I'm accepted for May!! Has anyone else heard?! Good luck to you all!!

Thanks for the info! Good news, indeed!

Hi IBLCOC, Still waiting to hear back. My enrollment counselor said it would be the first week of March at the earliest. Did you apply for this cohort? Take care, amytree

Likewise. Thankfully, the ICU I work in is small and the one bathroom is a max of 20' away from any room. You can place a folded bath towel over the bedpan while carrying it to the toilet as well. You really have no choice in that situation but to wear your gloves out. This thread is great!

Nice to meet you, EmmRee! Hopefully, it will all work out for you. That can be a tough predicament to be in. I was in a traditional program and am really looking forward to the online theory route. The 1:1 clinicals is also very appealing. My previous ones were 1:5 at best. My sister and niece both worked at Huntington Memorial and it is a fantastic hospital! I look forward to seeing you in skills too! amytree

If you look on the prelicensure page and follow the link to the program guide in PDF, it has all of the classes with the labs and clinicals laid out. I'm not exactly sure exactly how it works out, but I believe that your entire schedule is mapped out when you start your first semester, with the exception of the exact shifts you'll have for each clinical. That PDF explains the program really well :) I'm coming in with a BS in graphic design, and only have to take biochem and stats. My science prereqs are pretty current. Take care!

You're welcome! I would definitely check with an enrollment counselor. The nursing program is not so much at your own pace like other programs at the school are because of the labs and clinical aspect of the program, so it's two and a half years from your prenursing semester through the four semesters of the prelicensure program. The semesters are six months with no breaks, so it's straight through if you're coming right into the prenursing semester. It seems like a good fit for me, so hopefully I'll be starting in May!

Hi Grenled, The program is five consecutive semesters and the cohort I applied to starts May 1 and I believe the application period closed Feb 1. I understand that they try to do two cohorts/year. You're definitely in the right area for the program. I recommend calling an enrollment counselor to see what your options are! Take care!

Hi all, Is anyone applying for the prelicensure RN program in CA with a May start date? I just finished submitting my application, so the waiting begins. I'd love to hear from others, and good luck to us all!

Hi EmmRee! I am applying for the same cohort, although I'm up in the Ontario area. I don't even know what hospitals are available for clinicals; my entrance counselor was vague on those details. I really like your description...I'm ready to kick ass too. I'm have about the same courses to take in my first semester, with the addition of dosage calc. I started am ADN program, so I was able transfer in pharm. Good luck on your application! Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk off the boards. Take care!

Hi all! I just completed my application for the CA prelicensure program with a start date of May, 2016. Good luck to everyone and I hope to meet some of you soon! I took my prereqs at two local community colleges, but I started back in 2012. It's difficult to get into them until you become an established student
