Hi friends, my name is John. I'm new here and wanted to start a thread for those applying for the Fall 2014 admission at SJDC. I've read similar threads about past classes and found them interesting and informative.
I just finished up Physiology (still nervously waiting for my grade) and I'll be taking the TEAS at Modesto JC on 12/20. After that I'll be putting together my application!
I just noticed on Delta's ADN site that the TEAS will be offered at the Stockton campus the second week of January. Still no information on when the actual application period is going to be.
Anybody else want to share any thoughts, concerns, rumors, or advice?
Wanted to update my status that I was accepted to two other programs which are in my area, so I am going to be giving up my seat @ Delta. The two hour commute every day is a little too much.. But good luck & congrats to everyone who will be attending here
yerlo09 - I agree with Mirnamarlene. I definetly think that if you can get your BSN at the same time then that is awesome. If the workload is something you think you can handle with that program then I would go there. I would also look at the NCLEX passing grades, as you can see how others before you handled the program. I really think this is something you will need to decide on your own and feel comfortable with. You know yourself and what you can handle more than me. I would make a list of the pro's and con's and see which way you are more leaning towards. For myself, I have two children and I know that between my own school work and their schedules with school/sports, and of course my home duties I am going to be one busy woman once school starts. I'm already busy now since I work full time but once the program starts I will hardly be working since I want to excel in school and dedicate my time to school. Think it over and I'm sure you'll make the right choice for you. Both options are good opportunities, congrats!
Thanks for the advice everyone. I appreciate it. I know none of you are obligated to reply to me so the fact that you take time out of your busy schedule to reply to me means a lot. I am a student at Sac State, transferred from Delta. I have 3/4 , if not more of my requirements fulfilled already. I applied to Sac State’s bsn program for spring 2014 and wounded up on the waitlist. Ultimately, my goal is to get my bachelors. I know that after my associates, I want to go back and get my bachelors. I currently do not have any children, not married, and not working so I know that if I get this opportunity at Sierra, I know I can do devote all my time into it. I did just that. I looked up the NCLEX for both sierra and delta. Every year for Sierra, there’s about 50-70 students who take the NCLEX and have a passing rate of 94%-100%. Delta have about 150 + students and it’s about 88-93% so it’s not much help considering the difference of students (in my opinion). I know I’m making this more complicated than it really is, but I really don’t want to regret my decision. I know I will enjoy Delta to the fullest, as well as clinicals. I was looking forward to meeting all of you as well. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging here at Delta. Whereas, I do not have any information at Sierra and will definitely be more nervous starting there. And to be honest, I don’t know how I would feel about clinical and being in the program at Sierra. All I know is that I will have to make a decision soon.
Same here...I'm giving up my spot at Delta too. Which other schools have you been accepted into, Lena? Have you decided where to go? I'm debating between ARC and SCC.

I've been accepted to Sierra for Fall'14 and Sac City for Spring'15. Sierra was very tempting for me but I'm going to go ahead and wait for SCC. It's the school I go to now and its the closest. Waiting until spring will also give me more time with my new baby (due in 2 weeks)
Hey guys does anyone know of cheap health insurance and when we have to have it by? It does not say it in the packet but on the e-value there is a place to submit insurance information.
Congrats with your soon new baby! Did you notify Delta that you're giving up the spot yet? I responded to the same email they had sent me saying that I was accepted. I haven't gotten a response yet. Perhaps it's better to call.
purpleorchid, thank you! As far as Delta, I haven't contacted them yet. Was going to email them as well but I guess I will probably just call them on Monday.
