Valencia College Spring 2020 applicants

Published

Hey everyone! I just applied to the Valencia college traditional ASN nursing program. Hoping to start Spring of 2020. Just wanted to create this thread for those of us who are applying right now after summer semester. Supposed to hear back 6-8 weeks from now. Let’s update each other with our acceptance letters and any questions we may have during the wait ?

Thanks so much for all that information!! What textbook do you recommend for studying dosage? I think I read on another thread that someone recommended Dimensional Analysis for Meds on Amazon.

There's a book at the school called "dimensional analysis". I personally would use that one. It's really good and straight forward. Not complicated at all. Try using youtube as well.

Does anyone know if successful concurrent applicants were also offered traditional seats? Just trying to get an idea of possible spots that might be opening up!

I'm not sure but I'm gonna be declining my seat for the concurrent program, so that's one extra spot open...

Hey guys. I also applied for daytime west on Aug 5th. I also received notification yesterday that I’ve been waitlisted. I did not apply for evening/weekend track. Does anyone know if it’s public knowledge where we are on the list?

I don’t think it’s public knowledge, I think if you go in they can give you an idea of where you are at on the list. BUT I think if you’ll definitely get in for summer!

Congratulations who everyone who got in! I will see all of you guys at orientation! I'm a current student who's in Nursing 2 about to go to Nursing 3 who volunteers at the new student orientations! If you got waitlisted, you still have a possibility of getting into the program! I got waitlisted, and two days later they called me saying they had a spot! (back in march) I started over the summer! Everything was so last minute! To get prepared for orientation, bring at least $300.00 cash or check. There will be a lot of purchases being made! In between scrub tops and bottoms, and community tops and bottoms. Your lab kit, stethoscope, BP cuff, watch, penlight, shears, socks, shoes and more! You'll need your lab kit and community uniform for the first week of school. From this point on here on out, get yourself in GO mode. Practice dosage starting now, because they expect you to know it when you get in. Practice your dosage bootcamp, and learn your abbreviations and conversions. You'll possibly need a rolling bookbag. I used to laugh at people who had one before and now look at me! Working full time will be hard. You'll possibly have to drop down to 1-2 days a week. In between now and orientation date (November 15th) try and get your immunizations paperwork. You'll also have to pay $160-$180 for Castlebranch, a third party company that keeps track of your immunizations, drug tests, Fit mask testing, and background check. When you get to orientation ask for me! Jenna! If you need anymore questions or help go ahead and message me! Good luck everyone! I hope this helped. ?

sorry if im behind or missing something, but how do we practice or study for something without the material? idek what to study for exactly and teaching yourself before school even starts is crazy to me ?

Get a dosage calculations book. And learn everything. More than likely there will be a test as soon as school starts and you will need to pass. Some schools require 90 and above, some have required 100.

Exactly what MsNurse said. You have a dosage exam the second day of school. Get a dosage book and get to studying!
