You know, I'm not really sure if my reasonings for choosing SAC are very valid LOL. Right now the "plus" of attending SAC for me are their new health science building, the fact that I started my nursing journey there with my pre-reqs and had some of the best science professors at this school (which makes me trust the instruction to be provided in the ADN program), and that it has a 4 month earlier start date versus Cerritos.

As of right now, the only plus for Cerritos is that it's 10 miles closer to my home LOL!

NCLEX pass rate looks good for both! and I heard cerritos is phasing in a new curriculum for their program.

for cerritos:

MAJOR CURRICULUM REVISION:

The Nursing Program is currently enduring a major Curriculum Revision centered on Concept Based Learning and Clinical Judgment Model. A concept-based curriculum embraces core curriculum concepts that are centered on biophysical and psychosocial foundations, professional nursing concepts, health care system concepts, Quality Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) standards, and National Patient Safety Goals. During the course of study, students focus on key, prevalent exemplars of these concepts and delve into their interconnected relationships. Students learn to recognize significant features of a condition and begin to apply what they have learned to a variety of clinical situations. Concept based curriculum challenges students to think more critically, apply prior and current knowledge and experiences, identify patterns across concepts, draw on conceptual significance and relevance, and transfer concepts from one patient's bedside to the next. By doing this, the student will facilitate early identification of risk potential to patients and will take active measures to reduce these risks, improving patient outcomes. This revised curriculum is moving through approval process and will be implemented in FALL 2024.

Has anyone accepted their spot by sending an email to the nursing department then received an email back?

gemsja · Apr 20

I emailed them to reserve my spot but didn't receive an email back.

At the time of my initial application, I had Math219 in progress on my SAC transcripts, but have since dropped it. If we have to resend our transcripts, do yall think that dropping the class will impact my acceptance in any way?

My points are still the same with or without the class so I'm hoping it's fine.
