Did anyone take a picture of the uniform forms today? I got a really blurry photograph and I’d like to know the information in case I’d like to order something extra.

Did she ever mention how much the entire program will cost?

Chels · Nov 2, 2019

Do we have to purchase the castle branch today or can we wait ? She wasn’t really clear on some info. She didn’t discuss the cost of the program. I almost purchased uniforms today until I told the lady that I was an alternate she asked why I would even buy uniforms if I don’t know yet. So she told me I could wait to place an order because they won’t ship until January anyways.

You can wait on ordering it as they have an online order site....and the uniform lady said they would most likely ship all or most items out by December. As for cost, I just figured it would be comparable to other community colleges ADN's around the figures of $8,000. After searching online last night though I did find this http://nursingpub.com/rio-hondo-college-adn-rn-nursing-program-prerequisites-reviews/ which says $9,200. Not sure how reliable it is though.

hi guys I just received an email that I was provisionally accepted into the adn program! I was on the alternate list before so I think some people might be dropping.

@Chels not yet but I plan to do so today! I was feeling a little discouraged after the meeting so I held off until I knew for sure that I was accepted.

Has anyone who's been admitted to the program been able to get a hearing test for the physical? My doctor doesn't do them and I've emailed the school about it but they haven't responded.

Call them ... I sent an email and they never responded. I got a faster response calling them .

If you are a student at Rio Hondo College, you can get a free vision and hearing test done at the Student Health & Psychological Services Office located in the Student Services Building, RM SS230. Call their office to make an appointment at (562) 908-3438. They charge $10 for the TB test. Not sure what they charge for titers. You could Google "Public Health Clinics or low cost Community Health Clinics" to see if you can get free/low cost titers, immunizations, a physical, etc.

If you have a primary doctor, call their office to help you. It is best to start early since the holidays are around the corner. People are going out of town, taking holiday vacation, and some clinics might be only open working on half day schedules. The deadline for everything to be completed is Jan. 3, 2020.
