Hi, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy through these challenging times. I’ve been caring for COVID patients directly for the past several weeks and I just wanted to know what everyone else was doing as far as keeping their families safe at home (besides disinfecting shoes/clothes, etc) Are nurses still staying at hotels and not going home? With the holidays coming up will COVID nurses be spending their time alone? Thank you!

Hi! just wondering how quickly I can add a new job to my resume? Accepted a temporary position in float pool but my ultimate goal is to find a permanent position on a floor. Thus, I have continued my job search but have yet to update my resume with the temp position. I’m still currently waiting to start orientation. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi! I am having a similar issue with my application and I am worried. Were you able to contact the BRN and make changes? Thanks!

Hello! Did anyone attend the paperwork session on Wednesday? If so, how was it?

Does anyone know if people have declined their invitation for Saddleback?

Thank you Moana! and it was my pleasure. I hope you get in soon!!

I had 65 points when I turned in my application but i'm not sure about the total amount once it was processed. I'm alternate #5 for Fall 2016 and I will be offered a spot in Spring 2017 without the need to re-apply if nothing opens up in the fall.

Can anyone provide a list of the required textbooks for the program? I wasn't able to find it online Thank you!

Hello! I got my letter today as well and I was offered alternate position #5 for Fall 2016 with guaranteed acceptance for Spring 2017. I am extremely happy!!! Good luck to everyone!! and for those who were not accepted DO NOT GIVE UP!

"The School of Nursing application filing period for Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 is closed. The notification letters have been mailed. Thank you." Finally!

Ah! That is amazing news! thank you :)

I hope they send out letters soon! I'm basically waiting to receive this letter so that I am able to plan my life accordingly (keep my job or not, moving, re-take a course, etc) and it is SO difficult to plan any of those things when the date keeps getting pushed back. They should send out notifications to the people that have already been processed or something...I DONT KNOW! I just feel anxious lol

Hopefully sometime next week. I believe they said mid-April. Unless they were able to screen all their applicants sooner than expected. It shouldn't be too much longer

Has anyone heard about how many total applicants there were? I wish they would post updates on the college website lol This wait is killing me:nailbiting:

Hi Ladies and gents I also applied to Saddleback College nursing program for Fall 2016. I am EXTREMELY anxious and nervous to find out if I was accepted or not. I hope we all get in!
