Hi, I'm a nursing student and am a little confused about creating an air lock? Why is it necessary? So I take medication from the vial and draw up extra air after that? I don't automatically invert the syringe, correct? I keep the syringe and the n...

O cool. What semester?

You should most likely get in :)

What number did you say you were again? They did take a lot of people off the waitlist but it's different every semester. A lot of people ended up not showing at ours. Also, I'll be selling my pharm book for first semester. Make sure you all brush up...

Congrats that's awesome. Make sure you show up or they will give your spot away

That's really hard to say. You def should not be working full time. I worked three jobs all part time and got really good grades but that being said there were people who worked part time or even had no job and struggled

14 is a good number but it just means 14 people would have to drop or not show up for orientation. I think we started off with 42 ish people and now we have 37. You might be lucky :)

We have Christmas off. It follows the schools calendar as far as breaks go. For the Lvn program the classes you will be taking are different. You will def be taking psychiatric nursing and med surge 3 but I'm not sure what else. The classes are split...

I believe they usually call. It's by whoever is next in line for the spot by number.

Yes, they will. When I went to orientation there people who didn't show up and they gave their spots away. However, if you have a number greater than 15 on the waiting list I wouldn't count on getting a spot. There are only a specific number of hospi...

Hi everyone. I'm entering into my 3rd semester in the Pierce nursing program and would love to answer and questions!

Hey Everyone! I've introduced myself before, I'm a second semester student. I'm still selling stuff for first semester, including the Pharmacology book. I know you all have ebooks through Lipincott, but trust me a hard copy is super helpful. I'm ha...

You order it online and they are delievered to your house

Careful about the scrubs, you have to buy the Pierce scrubs!

They require you to buy the Pierce scrubs, you order them, they are white and red. They come with the school's logo. You can't buy whatever scrubs you want

Hi everyone, Current first semester student, well second semester student now, I'd be happy to answer any questions! I don't go on here as frequently anymore, so feel freee to email me at [email protected]. I also have some stuff for first semes...

a lot of schools that are top notch don't have NLN accreditation, even Mt St Mary's doesn't. In fact, only one school in California is NLN accredited. I know tons of new grads from other schools too that already have jobs

Really? I'm already in the program. I've met tons of meet at hospitals who are Pierce graduates. Students who don't eventually go on to get a Bachelor's do have trouble getting jobs

I'm not sure about NLN but they are def BRN accredited

Jay i think our LVN students were notified at the same time we were

You do have to pay for a parking pass though, but I mean you can always park in front of the school and walk. They are super strict about it and will ticket anyone not displaying a pass.

We have a few people from Glendale in our class. We even have a person from Palmdale.

I did not apply anywhere else. I had a back up plan if I didn't get in haha. Almost everyone for our class who was on standby got in. I got in right away, so I was super relieved.

Depends on the instructor. Some of them, I won't give names are really bad about emailing people or clarifying instructions. Pierce is really close to my house, plus the cost of the program is cheap when you compare it to other schools. I feel like t...

Really really tough. We have exams once a week. For your first semester, you will be taking 4 class. Adult Health Care, Psych, Geriatric Nursing, and Pharmacology. We are the first class to use the ebook system, which was way overpriced if you ask me...
