Southwestern College ADN Fall 2017

[friedjalapeno]

Hi everyone! I thought I'd start a whole new topic for those who applied to Southwestern's Fall 2017 cohort. This is the first time I've applied for a nursing program, so I am very excited and nervous of whats to come. I'm curious to see the amount of points you have totaled so I know what I'm up against. I totaled my points to be 74/75, so that may be low compared to some of you. I wish everyone luck and I hope to see you in August!

I've double-checked, actually quadruple-checked my acceptance confirmation email to them to make sure I sent it to the right email haha. Just have that little fear of, what if it never sent -- but says it is sent? You know, silly possibilities that come up that you fear will hinder you from actually being in the program :)

HAHAHA omg I thought I was the only one that did that!!! I've literally been checking everyday to see if I sent it to the right email, etc. Gosh, it really would've been nice though if they just emailed us back -_-;

Also, about the stethoscope, I bought mine at a scrub store (Littman Classic III) for when I did my CNA program. It was called Life Uniform but it's closed now. There's also Scrub Mart and Love Scrubs that I know of. And it was around ~$100 or a little more than that. I didn't wanna get the cardio one cus I felt like that it was too much and too expensive. Maybe if I specialize or something later on. A stethoscope is an investment so it's up to you how much you wanna spend :)

yeah what I got is actually a really good one nice quality. So I think i'll just keep it. I will use it even after the program :)

I got accepted at 79 points! If you guys make a Facebook page I would love to add it! See you at orientation and goodluck to the alternatives!:)

[friedjalapeno, ADN, RN]

Congratulations Sadiebellee! See you at orientation! I'm thinking maybe I had higher points than I originally thought if I was sent an acceptance letter March 8th. Yeah, a Facebook page would be cool!

Hi all! Sending good vibes :)

I was wondering for the admitted students, is everybody already living nearby SWC or having to make the move out there?

[friedjalapeno, ADN, RN]

Hi couragetoheal, I live about 30-40 minutes away from SWC. Have you been accepted?

[miamor820]

I live 10 minutes away, that is why SWC was my first choice.

[couragetoheal]

Yes I have been accepted I am in the Bay Area so I would need to move down South! I will be attending the orientation on 04/28 so looking forward to see you all!
