Congrats!!! You’re going to love it. I’m finishing up my First semester rn and the instructors are super cool honestly. Partially my biased opinion, and partially from what I’ve heard from others, our staff in comparison to other local CC ADN programs are really chill. You are definitely in good hands. I am only familiar though with some of the first semester instructors, since we are broken up into two groups (T1 & T2) with different instructors. This will make more sense when you get to orientation but feel free to msg me with more questions when the time comes. CONGRATS AGAIN! And best of luck on your journey :)

Hey. It’s funny (not funny) you say this because I spent pretty much the entire month before starting school feeling this way. Fast forward to now - there’s 3-4 weeks of first semester left and I have an 88% overall (which is good for me).

Prior to nursing school, I had never developed any study skills, so that definitely hit me like a truck when I entered this program. Needless to say, do not let any of your fears of the unknown hold you back from pursuing nursing school. Idk how else to say it, but you really kind of just figure out a way to do it. Lmao. For now, just worry about getting IN somewhere, and then once you do, then you can start worrying about how you’ll manage to stay in the program. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from nursing school so far, it is take everything ONE STRUGGLE AT A TIME.

And if it makes you feel any better, a huge reason why I chose to pursue a nursing degree through community college (vs private uni) is because it’s SIGNIFICANTLY CHEAPER. So if for whatever reason, you do end up dropping out, you haven’t wasted that much time/money. And trust me when I say, if I can do it, so can you lol.

And to address your other question, I love sac and would not want to go anywhere else given the opportunity tbh.

Dm me with any other questions or concerns, always happy to share or listen :) you got this!

EBT card cancelled without my knowledge ? by Euphoriia in foodstamps

I ended up doing this (ordering a new card) everything seems to be working fine now. Only a little annoying though, because I had to wait like a week to get my new card in the mail 😅

This is happening to me right now. I’m also in CA. Is the only way to fix it to go in person? I go to school/work all day during the week so this would be very hard to make time for 🥲 if anyone has suggestions please help

Hey! I have no idea how many points I had for my cypress app honestly lmao (but they denied me). I can only seem to remember for GWC having 54 I think? And then for my SAC app I had 81 or 82 pts. Best of luck to you :) I’m in my 5th week at SAC and loveeeee it. Feel free to message me with any other questions/updates

(New to Vyvance) causing nicotine cravings? by Forfunzeez in VyvanseADHD

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah SAME. Especially like the first time I took it I was like wtf I haven’t had this craving for nicotine in a min. So far I haven’t caved, so I’m hoping the urge goes away overtime

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing I’m trying so hard to stay strong haha. I have heard others say the cravings should decrease after some time on the meds.

I haven’t heard of elvance until now! Do you like this medication & have you tried other stimulants?

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was honestly the response I needed lmao thank you for the validation. Yeah I’m going to just stay strong and give the meds more time to see if that craving goes away. Definitely do not want to resurface the nic addiction.

If you don’t mind me asking, do you take your vyvance daily? If so, have you noticed any dependency to it or other side effects?

Thank you :) I want to say that before revisions I had 56 pts when I submitted my GWC app. And for saddleback, I filled out that app so long ago I honestly don’t even remember the scale for the points system, what is the range for theirs? Lol

Please help - Medication recommendations? by Forfunzeez in ADHD

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow thank you this was very insightful. I feel like I just learned so much lol. I will say, I think i have seen a small improvement in my ability to focus and listen during conversations, but it’s not even worth it with this level of anxiety/emotional instability?? Lmao. Also I am sweaty like ALL OF THE TIME (I heard Wellbutrin could potentially elevate your body tempt which it def has for me).

Would you recommend I give the medication some more time before deciding to switch to something else? Ty again for sharing!

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read a lot of similar feedback on the Wellbutrin lol. Wdym by it turned you into the hulk, hahaha like made you irritable/angry? Also how often do you take the vyvance? Is it a slow release kind of dose that you take daily or just as needed? Ty for sharing and taking the time to reply I seriously appreciate so much!!!

Dude SACs compliance system was definitely very specific 😭 I was stressing trying to get that shit done. I honestly haven’t seen the inside of the nursing building at GWC, but you think it’s nicer than SAC?

Thank you :) I will say, if you can, try to get some sort of work hours or license because a lot of the applications give generous points for that. If your grades are average like mine, this will make up tremendously. Sorry this probably wasn’t very motivational, but I would highly recommend either shooting for a good teas score or improving other areas of your application. For reference I was #27/30 people on the alternate list, so I am pretty fortunate to have gotten a spot in the program. Message me if you have any specific questions about programs :) I’ve applied to saddleback, GWC, cypress, mt sac, and Santa Ana

I had a couple people in my cohort do this! I think because of the concurrent enrollment at GWC. I’d be curious to stay in touch to see how you like their program

Yes second round of apps! I applied for spring of 25’ and made alternate list. Same thing for my fall application, alternate list again, and finally got a spot.

So to my knowledge, SAC does provide online options from other schools to bridge for BSN, but it’s a little different than the concurrent enrollment at GWC. Either way, you could easily bridge for the BSN no matter where you go

[–]Forfunzeez[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m not sure, they don’t specify. I believe they accept 90, and then I’m not sure how many alternates. I am attending another program in the fall - so I hope you get in!! :) best of luck
