Southwestern College ADN 2010

Published

I'm excited to start the ADN program at Southwestern College this FALL!! I feel like I've been waiting forever. (2 years) I wanted to see if there were anyone else on this website that is starting this Fall as well :)

While I was on the waiting list at almost all the community colleges (City, Grossmont and Southwestern) I attempted nursing school at San Diego State. Needless to say that I wasn't close to getting in.. BOO! Due to the budget cuts, it made my chances getting in little to none. The SON told me that I would've gotten in if I applied a couple of years ago.. I was like "Thanks for telling me this, but that doesn't help me now". I was pretty disappointed.

I'm so glad I didn't bank all my luck at SDSU and I will start program this year!! YAY! Are there any others that feel my joy and are attending Southwestern College this FALL 2010?

Hi Congrats!

I was wondering if you were on the LVN to Rn step up waitlist or the reg waitlist? I was also wondering what number you were to get to 2yrs to get in. I'm number 59 on the step up waitlist and was told they only take 5-15 people per yr for that..if that's the case i won't get in there for another 5 yrs..

Thanks!

I was on the regular waitlist and I'm #69. They allow 60 people in the program each Fall. I talked with the office yesterday and they said they call up to 100 slots. Many of those will have gone to other programs. So that gives many of us a chance to get in.

I heard that the LVN to RN program was different. I can't imagine waiting another 2-3 years to get in. Good Luck to you and I hope that you won't have to wait that long... at least you have your LVN license to work. Do you work now?

Hi,

Ya I have been working as an LVN for over 2 years..I've dabbled in mental health, home health, and even home visits. So far I like mental health. I hope I get in..at this point anywhere..

Mental health is a good choice. I'm sure you'll get in soon.

What other schools are you applying for? If I didn't have a family, I would go out of state to go to school. From what I hear.... there are no waiting lists in many places.

Hi my fellow students. Are there any out there that received their acceptance letter for SWC Fall 2010?? Let me know :) I'm excited!

I will be applying to their program this summer. What is their acceptance process these days? Are they doing strictly wait list, or a points system like everywhere else now? I feel like I'll never get in to City College's program, so Southwestern is my only other hope...besides National, but damn they're expensive!!
