Rio Hondo College ADN Spring 2020

Published

Hey everyone! I thought I'd open this forum for those of us applying to Rio Hondo. Applications are right around the corner and it would be great to use this as a means of communication. Feel free to post, ask questions, or respond. I hope to hear from you!

Hi Everyone,

I went to Rio Hondo College today and stopped by the Dept. of Nursing. I spoke with Ms. Roxanna Gomez. She stated we should be receiving an email by next week confirming our CRN # number for our "LVN to ADN Transition Course."

As far as uniforms go, Rio Hondo's Dept. of Nursing is not in charge of that. I called Vista Uniform today, and the lady stated our nursing uniforms are being shipped out. Some people have already received them. If you have not received your nursing uniform, then call Vista Uniforms at office phone number (661) 254-1828. Has anyone purchased their nursing shoes yet? They need to be white and made of leather material. It is recommended nursing shoes are slip resistant. Skechers? Nurse Mates?

Hello,

I am in the regular ADN program but I am assuming we will also be receiving our CRN# next week to be able to register for classes. The regular ADN program starts January 27th.

Hi Chels,

The LVN to ADN Program begins on March 28th. Whichever program we are in, we definitely need our CRN # to get registered as you mentioned. Best of luck & congrats. Definitely stay in touch.

Anybody got any news about when we can expect an add code CRN#? (I'm in the regular ADN program).

Also, do we show up in uniform to regular class, as in the first day, or only when we have hospital rotations?

@Jesabvall2019 hey, I'm in the ADN program as well. I haven't received an email about the add code yet but I did notice that the syllabus was posted on the Rio Hondo bookstore so I actually went to campus this morning to buy it. I suggest everyone gets their hands on it before the first day because it contains quite a bit of information about the lecture and lab schedules as well as the modules we'll be working on. It's about $5 at the bookstore.

Hello ,

By any chance do Any of you know what would be the package code to only purchase a drug test ? I was told I needed to redo my drug test but I have no idea how to go about it. I tried contacting castle branch but they left me on hold for over an hour

Hi Chels

As far as I know the drug test has to be done by CastleBranch. They provide you with a code which is similar to an authorization to obtain this service. Then, the drug test results are posted on their site under your name. Unfortunately, you have to go through them. But, if you have a hard time getting through, contact Ms. Roxanna Gomez/Rio Hondo College Dept. of Nursing to see how she can help you. Her office phone number is (562) 908-3421.

hi everyone I received an email saying I was cleared to register & I was given the CRNs to register for.

I was just given my CRN #'s as well.

I was hoping I got the Monday Tuesday Lab but unfortunately I was given the Wednesday Lab. I may call to see if by any chance there’s someone that wants to trade if it’s possible.

Congrats everyone who is cleared to go! The journey to start nursing school is almost ready to begin! I just got my nursing uniforms today at last. I am still waiting for my email to say I am cleared to register for my CRN#. I am enrolled in the LVN to ADN Program. Has anyone else purchased any books, nursing equipment, etc?
