I was also accepted into CEP and haven’t received any other emails yet

Hi, I gave in and emailed them again. I received a reply stating they did indeed receive my acceptance and that they should be sending out info regarding boot camp by Friday.

Hi guys! You would need to purchase the Drug Screen, the background, and the immunization one. I am an alternate, so the only one I currently paid for and am doing is the immunization. I will wait for Intake day before paying for the rest.
So the BOG wont cover the fees for Cal State? those need to be paid seperatly?

For us as veggir65 said we added cal state Fullerton as well as rcc to our fasfa. Then fullerton took care of our full time status and all of our financial aid. But we still got bog waiver for the community portion to pay for the classes at RCC for those who qualified.

oh thank goodness! there is hope! I was worried I was going to have to pay the difference. I will be quitting my FT job for this so it was starting to worry me! Thanks so much for the info ?

Yea its honestly better to hear it now, instead of going to bootcamp not knowing.

hey guys!

for those who got into the CEP, do you think i could still get in with a B in Bio50B? im at an 88% and i just dont feel i can bring it to a 90% with a great final score, ? I know a B is still good but im afraid that if i dont get an A i wont get into RCC's Program...

Also do i need to complete my humanities class (CSU requirements) before applying at all? or can it be incomplete and take it during my application period? thank you!

ps Congrats to everyone who got in!!!

Hi there!

Absolutely you can get in with a B! I am an Alternate for CEP and I got a B in the same class. It all depends on how you scored in 50A and Bio-55 too. The better you score on all three of those classes, then the better chance you have.

As for your CSU requirements, you dont HAVE to have it done to apply but honestly the chances of you being accepted are slim to none if it isnt complete. Anything in progress doesnt count.

If you have not already attended a workshop, definetly do so! They are full of information and you can ask your questions directly to S.

Congratulations to all of those who've received their acceptances! I'm finishing up my second semester. If I can be of any help, please let me know! This is the beginning of the roller coaster that is nursing school!

A few words of advice:

Definitely go get started on your titers and immunizations ASAP.
If you need MMR or Varicella, do not get it between getting your 2-step TB tests done. Get the TB done completely, then do your MMR and/or Varicella. It will be rejected from Complio if you don't, and you'll then need the Quantiferon Gold blood test (can be $$ and a speed bump when you are eager to register).
Buy your books from the Lippincott rep that visits during bootcamp (if he still attends!) You will get your discount right away rather than waiting for the mail-in rebate from the bookstore.

Again, congratulations, and let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to help. ?

Do you pay the day the lippincott rep is there? Or do they charge to your student account for Financial Aid to.cover? Do you recall the total for the package? And how much are uniforms ? Sorry for.all the questions. Thank you for your.time!
