I wonder why its not letting you register? If I'm not mistaken I think she's only there on Mondays. So I think both of us have to wait until then to know whats going on. As for my uniforms, the tops were in stock but the pants were backordered.

Its really weird. I spoke with her yesterday and Steve today and it's still not letting me register :(

Did you check when your registration date is? You can register on or after your day/time once you're cleared by Steve. If you're still not able to, I would email him to double check he has the correct information (name and student ID) and then contact admissions and records. Good luck!

He had to fix something in the system. I was able to register on Friday! Thanks!

I got my uniform, but my bag is backordered

Hey guys! I was wondering if you can do us fall 2018 applicants a solid and tell us what the cut off points were with the new point system? I have seen that a couple people got in with 70 points but I am still curious 🤔 thanks!

I don't think there's a cut off because they also randomly select a small amount of students as well, I believe. I had 74 points.

I agree. I believe they choose a specific amount of people with the highest points and then there's a specific amount of people that are chosen randomly. I believe I had anywhere from 71-74 points.

Hi. Did you take A&P 2B with Professor L. already?

I really wanted to take the Micro with her, but it would put me back a whole semester of being able to apply to the program or taking Micro and A&P2B together. I guess I'll start studying for the TEAS right after finishing A&P2B.

Dr. Lisa sucked in my oponion lol take it with Likin in Mvc

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any experience with the LVN bridge program at RCC? I applied to the ADN program at

RCC (spring 18) and was not accepted, I know the reason why was my GPA is at a 3.3 and my Teas score

was only a 64%. The cutoff was at 75 points and I only had 67 points. The nursing counselor told me to do the LVN program and bridge into their

RN program (no teas score needed). I am going that route and applying in Feb 2019 to the LVN program.

I am just curious if anyone is going this route? I maxed out how many times I can retake the teas...seems like

my only option.
