Rio Hondo ADN Nursing Program

Published

Hi everyone,

I currently go to Mt. Sac at the moment and will finish all my ADN pre-requistes for Rio Hondo this summer. As for the selection criteria they use overall, I feel that my application will be highly competitive. However, my definition of competitiveness is probably different from others. I was wondering for anyone who currently attends or previously attended the ADN program at Rio Hondo to state your applicant profile (overall GPA, science GPA, volunteer hours, any previous degree, and experience). Thanks, it would help me and many others who are hopeful in entering the ADN program at Rio Hondo College. :)

Got my CRN also... Ill be at Presbyterian Intercom Hospital. Any one have info about uniforms??

You should call them and see if you can still request it. It looks like there are still a lot of spots available. I think a lot of students haven't been cleared yet... There's no harm in trying! Explain that you live closer to Arcadia and having a closer clinical site would give you more time to study.

We don't start until the end of August, but there is a lot to do before then! It would be cool to start in the summer, but I can't imagine the scramble you guys went through getting everything done :)

Ahhh I'm excited and nervous at the same time! It actually wasn't too bad getting all the stuff done. Pretty much just a visit to the health center and CPR class. The bad part was paying for it. Haha. 4 more days!!

Hey everyone. I just want to let you guys know I won't be attending rio hondo after all. I got accepted to la county nursing program so I will be going there. I called rio to let them know. Thanks for all the support and good luck Wednesday.

Andrew, do what's best for you but can you tell me your reason? I understand that that LA county School of Nursing is also an ADN program, so it's not the Cal State LA Nursing program, I am curious of your decision!

veteran get very high priority. from what you provided, you have a very high chance to get in. if not first round, pretty much 2nd round they will call you.

are you going for the LVN bridge? if so, that will be more competitive and only during march they accept application.

Not true... I barely got provisionally accepted at the last minute and I'm a veteran with a 3.71 prereq GPA and a previous degree...

Hey Alice W,

I decided I wanted to go to county because I would like to work there one day. They are both good schools but I've always wanted to be a part of county.
