Solano Community College Fall 2020

Published

Hi future nurses!

I just got my acceptance email today at Solano! I think we should all communicate through here for questions and what not. I tried to look at previous forums, but they did not have info about when clinicals and lectures are. I want to find out this info before accepting the position in case I get accepted from another program that is better for me. Especially since I live 2 hours away.

Thanks!

... Apply to as many schools as possible. ...

This can not be emphasized enough. I applied to two programs for Spring 2020; both CSU schools. Got into one. I applied to around nine programs for fall 2020; 1 ADN, 3 direct entry MSN, 5/6 BSN (all CSUs). I got into one MSN. One BSN I probably would have gotten into eventually, but ,y application was rejected because I got up their spot for Spring 2020 for the MSN. Rejected by the ADN, but do to a goof, have a spot in the fall 2021; it's a back up in case something goes bad this year.

The worst part about applying to the various nursing programs is that despite wanting overall the same thing, it does vary just enough to be annoying. Some want more prerequisite classes. Others have bonus considerations such a veteran status, health experience, school or home location, and so forth. A lot of schools use NursingCAS to apply, but many do not. Application deadlines are different. Some you apply to the University, then the nursing program and the deadlines can differ by months. Some schools want essays. Some want to do interviews.

On the same theme, be willing to move away from your home. I'm literally moving to the east coast. If you really want to be a nurse, then you'll do the sacrifice to get there.

As one of the admission advisors for Johns Hopkins' School of Nursing said during an information session, "there is more than one way to become a nurse"

Hello all,

I have a guarantee spot for Fall 2021, for those who already in the program for Fall 2020, how’s the program doing during the pandemic? Are you still able to go to clinicals? Are the lectures online?

Hi! We are allowed on campus for clinical and skills lab with a few modifications due to the pandemic. We are completing our first 8 weeks of clinicals on campus and then going into our rotations at the hospitals in October. As far as lectures go, they are hosted through Zoom.

Okay so for those of you who got accepted, if it's okay, what are your TEAS scores? Mine is 82.7 with a 3.9GPA. Do I have any chance of getting in?

I'm in for next year.  Absoulately you have a chance, assuming you did all the prereq classes.  You're TEAS and cGPA is over the minimum; you'll be entered into the lottery.

Does anyone know how the composite score is calculated? I have 3.1 overall GPA and I’m worried I won’t make the composite score because of it. I have As in the prerequisites though.
