Riverside Community College FALL 2012

it depends on when you apply. Usually, there are more ppl applying on Fall. So Fall is more competitive. But, 85 is good enough. Good luck tho.

Thanks! You in the program or have applied?! No one is posting and its kind of lonely.

I was researching past threads and I think I find out in late May if I got in or not.

Yo all should be hearing something in late May early June. The word is they are only excepting 60 students versus the 80 originally planned for, so the better your points are the chances getting in increases. Which means the alternate list gets longer and the cut off could be around 80 points. Hope I did not burst anyone's bubble, but this the reality off the competitiveness of trying to get into nursing school. Good luck to you all!

nah...i think with 85 points i am ok right!?

BoBo0351 · Apr 28, 2012

DarkBlue, you should be good, I got in with 85 points last semester.

how is the program?

The program is really good with the new nursing school building and all the state of the art simulations, practice labs, computer rooms. The instructors are all top notch, very practiced and knowledgeable. There are many classmates of mine that travel from good distances, couple even from northern cal. Some have relocated and some make the commute. I am sure you will figure out the easiest way for you to attend.

I have also applied for the fall 2012 program... It is driving me nuts just waiting around I hope they start sending out emails soon. I just want to know one way or another :/

I was invited to take the TEAS next week. Since I had already taken it, I declined. With that said, that means they still have to give points to people who haven't take it yet. That will take a few weeks. So I bet we will receive something by the end of May

Ugh soooo lonnnnnnnnnnnng.

Hi Phoenix! I'm a recent RCC graduate and I've had a chance to see the new facility; it's gorgeous! Good luck with your admission. :)

DarkBluePhoenix · May 7, 2012

aw thanks!i have a question though. when did you graduate and did you find a job easily for being a RCC grad?

Nurse Hooloovoo · May 7, 2012

I graduated December 2011 and took my boards in January. It is very difficult for new grads to find jobs right now, RCC included (I don't know if it's easier for RCC grads over other schools, though). I count myself fortunate to have gotten one. I don't know how many of my classmates have jobs at this point, but if I had to guess I would guess 1/2 to 2/3 of the class.
