Anyone applying for RCC's Fall 2015 Nursing program?
Thought I'd start a thread to communicate about applying, TEAS, etc.
If you've taken your TEAS at a different location then you need to have your results sent by purchasing a transcript at the ati website. I took mine at CSULA so i had to purchase one
Perf!!! I did the same as well. I've taken the test at LLC and bought the transcripts online through ATI. I also chose the correct address for submission. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Thank you for getting back to us, if you get a chance could you break down the costs for us a bit more. What cost the most, what could be bought used versus new. I can get my tuition waived but only have 1500 put back for supplies. I might not be able to do this after all. I was counting on getting student loans but that takes time.

This is about right. Sorry but 1500 is not gonna be enough to start. You should get a loan or ask family for help if you can. I would not want to pass up the opportunity to get in Js. Most of your books and fees need to be purchased during nursing 11. My hubby had to borrow 3000 from our 401k plan we spent the other grand out of pocket. Yes it is better to defer your admission if you get accepted if your not mentally, physically or financially ready to start. This program is intense and takes a lot of work. That being said I feel blessed to be in it. So many people will be happy to take your spot. You books are about 2000, ati is 500.00 bucks, skills bag 200, uniforms for two is 250. you can start with just one but it will get warn fast. Your physical can be done at your own MD. My drs office messed things up so I started with them and then had RCC clinic do the rest. CPR for two years cost about 50 bucks. I won't be on here until after finals that's the following Tuesday. I hope you guys registered for the math for healthcare and success in nursing. I am horrible in math. We have to pass a dosage for nursing 12 and be 100% accurate. I passed the dosage we had at 100% last week.
There is no way I will have to pay 2000 for books if I get the list early enough. Renting, used, cough* internet cough* and school library copies are all a possibility. I paid $10 for a pdf of my $200 statistics book. I can make do with one uniform to start. I already have my CPR card. I can do my physical with the school since I'm taking a summer class and parking won't be a problem if I'm bussing or carpooling. I have my titers from lvn school so that should be OK....
I actually feel better now, I can totally do this on 1500...
2000 for books? Bwahahahah! I don't think so
I didnt mean any rudeness, I'm sorry if it came out that way. I was thinking outloud doing the math and feeling elated and relieved for the first time in a week. I was crying at work yesterday when I read 4000 dollars. That's why wrote about feeling better.. I have nothing but gratitude for everyone who's been helping the folks on this thread. Some people have problems with math, I suck at communicating online. Seriously, you would think English was my second language. My online English 1A teacher did (attempt at humor, please take no offence)
Not kidding, I am just awful at writing and talking. Dyslexic and auditory processing issues. I guarentee I will make you people hate me when I try to ask questions in class.I struggle finding the right way to ask or explain what's in my head but I am a good student, a good nurse and problem solve like a (female dog).

A lot of the our books have access codes we have to buy that come with the books. Further, like I said before the books you buy will need during the whole two years except for the fundamentals books. I hope it works out for you :)
