Rio Hondo ADN Nursing Program

[Davidz0rs]

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. :)

I got in!!!! yay!!!

I just called and I didn't get in either. I'm actually okay with it since I have 6 other schools I applied to. I know Rio Hondo factored other things into the mix like licenses and extras I didn't qualify for so I didn't have my hopes too high.

Congrats to everyone who made it in! And to those that didn't, we still have other schools to hear from and a lifetime to pursue our dreams! Good luck to everyone out there.

Does anyone know how many students they accept for the LVN-RN program?

[NurseDalee]

@SquishyLVN I was told earlier in the year that RHC usually accepts 20-24 LVN's a year, not sure of this years numbers though. Did you apply for the 2012 Fall term?

@MPETRIDES1984 and vadon: Congrats to you! Will you be in the Generic ADN or LVN-RN program?

@vbeck36: Thank you! I hope you are selected also. It sounds like you had a good profile to submit. I am also a Veteran. Good luck!

@SquishyLVN I was told earlier in the year that RHC usually accepts 20-24 LVN's a year, not sure of this years numbers though. Did you apply for the 2012 Fall term?

Yes, I did apply for the Fall 2012 term and already received my acceptance letter. I only applied to RHC and Citrus College. Well, I'm on the waiting list at Mt SAC also, but since their waiting list is about 2 years long, I wasn't seriously thinking I'd end up there since I figured I would be competitive in points at both RHC and Citrus. Acceptance letters won't go out for Citrus until at least after April 13, but between the two, I'm leaning more towards RHC. Citrus is a lot closer to where I work, but RHC has a larger, more established program. So most likely I'll be one of your classmates this summer NurseDalee =)

hi,

I have submitted all the forms and application for 2012 LVN-RN program before March 1st but I am a little bit confused if turning my application for the program will automatically give me permit to register for the class ADN 75 or I have to wait for a letter first from nursing dept if i am eligible to take the class or sign up for the class when i turned all my applications before March 1st. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience.

Hello Everyone! I Just received my acceptance letter to RHC too!!! Im so excited and can't wait to start and become a Does anybody else need to take the TEAS test? I have my appointment for it in two weeks. I'm really nervous about that, I feel I need more time but not too worried because it will all fall into place. Any helpful tips for me regarding the TEAS? Congratulations to everyone that got in!!!!

[LarryZ]

Congrats Mz. Solo, I too am scheduled to take the TEAS test, mine is set for April 10th. If you look at this link https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/practice-teas-test-425172-page21.html (the second post by Chi1) it breaks down the TEAS test pretty nice. That and use google to search for TEAS practice questions, good luck.
