Rio Hondo Spring 2017

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone applied to Rio Hondo College! Their application period is still open until October 17th 2016 so I know it is early to receive a response but why know get to know each other and inform each other about any updates! What other schools did you apply to and have you taken your TEAS exam? This whole waiting process has me all antsy!:nailbiting:

I'm Praying I get accepted this year! :rolleyes:

don't want to be a Debbie Downer but you guys might want to be careful with this school. I know they had their accreditation yanked for awhile, then on probation, and their NCLEX pass rates are nothing to write home about. Going to this school means you risk having your program lose accreditation before you graduate, which makes transferring and getting some jobs difficult or impossible. And you might have to do a lot of work on your own to prepare yourself to take the NCLEX if the school isn't up to snuff and able to prepare you as you'd expect. just a word of warning.

Hi, did you attend the information session for Spring 2017. I was unable to attend and I am wondering if it is still a 5 semester program (ADN 151 taken before program starts) or if it has been changed yet to a 4 semester program? I know they will explain all of this at the advisement meeting but I am just being a little impatient haha.

Thanks!

so i just found out that we have to take ADN 151 in the spring and if you pass then you are for sure in the nursing program which won't start until fall..... kinda bummed about this

Oh darn... Yeah that sucks. They say on their website that their new 4 semester program is coming soon but clearly not soon enough.

Thanks for checking in on that!

Hey! I attended a informational session back in June so some of their protocols have changed since then but you know some of my friends said they took the nursing 151 class and it was beneficial for them it educated them on the Fundamentals of Nursing and really just prepared them so I think this class can be a good thing! I Just really want any additional information that will help me and prepared me to be a great nurse! Matter of fact, we should Form a study group so we can continue to encourage each other in these next two years!

Yeah, your right. It will be nice to be able to focus on one class since we are all new to nursing and get a grip on the information we are going to be using for the rest of the program.

I would love to form a study group! I will see you at the orientation :)

see you on November 18th

Awesome congrats!! Do you know if we need any of those things before the meeting? I'm assuming we will probably learn all about it at the meeting.

Congrats again!
