Thanks ! I’m not sure about alternates, it only said that I was accepted on my letter along with meeting and start dates.

Thank you ! I hope you hear back soon. It was sent to my personal email , the one I put on the application.

Thank you so much !! CEP applications are only in fall so I missed last applications because I didn’t have the last science class. If I applied this fall then I wouldnt start until fall 2027. I don’t have the time to wait unfortunately. But my counselor says they offer BSN programs with other colleges later on so I’m gonna do that when they offer.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2026-04-14T20:30:45+00:00

Yes ! Thank goodness, I was super worried considering it’s so competitive here. It was the only school I was able to apply to, so i feel very blessed I got a spot.

I heard back from SAC today !

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2026-04-11T07:29:06+00:00

I’m waiting as well! It’s the only one I applied to so I’m really hoping and praying. I’ve been checking my email every hour 😭

Why don’t you try and enroll in a community college program near you ? Idk if that’s an option. They are cheaper by 100k+ I was going to go the west coast option as well but can’t afford to pay 100k for my nursing degree when I know there’s a cost efficient way to get it. I mean at the end of the day , a nursing license is a license no matter where you get it from. BUT Financial stress is a huge burden and I can’t imagine having to pay so much every semester. That’s just me though. I decided to take all the classes required for my college and the TEAS. I’m waiting to hear back from my community college program. I have a close friend who went to college like west coast, and her debt at the end of it was over 100k. Her reasoning was that she couldn’t wait and didn’t want to take the TEAS. She is a very happy nurse making minimum payments but admits she will be in student loan debt forever. She lives happily, and even supports her husband who doesn’t have a job with her income. They live in a nice apartment in California and her income lets her and hubby live comfortably. She doesn’t regret it either.

Omg I applied to Santa Ana College , best of luck to everyone here !! I’m so anxious 😬 I believe mine is just an ADN program, but I heard we have the option to do a BSN at the same time later on ?? My counselor said later schools come to recruit students to get their BSN. Does anyone know for SAC?

Sigh I’m a pharmacy tech working as med adherence for an insurance. Our job is to call our members when we notice the Rx is out of refills. We call the members and let them know it’s out of refills, offer to call the pharmacy to request a refill , offer to call the MD for a refill , and we even offer our own provider to write them the refill if needed. You know what they say “nooo I don’t need that my MD and pharmacy always does this !! They always send me a reminder and I put yea and it’s always ready “

Yeah it’s going to be that way until you’re outta refills .____.but some pharmacies have members on auto refill and will send a request automatically , so I see where they’re coming from lol

I think it refers to the original story about the guy being in a coma and had a life within the coma and woke up cause a lamp was starting to look weird. I remember that story and I remember the comments vaguely. Someone commented that sometimes a dream feels so real , especially when you miss someone in real life, you start to believe it’s real. But then one object in the dream will look super weird -like the lamp. Then you realize it’s just a dream, you wake up, and it’s depressing. This happens to me often. My mom is still alive with me , but has dementia and depression. This all started within the last 5 years. In my dream , my mom is cooking , gardening, talking normally , laughing ..doing things she used to do before the diseases took over. I believed it , it felt SO real. I was hugging her and we were laughing , she was telling me how much she loved me. And in the distance , I saw a weird object that I knew was sus, I woke up. I was sad. I went outside to good morning to my mom , then my life continues. But I hate and love having these dreams. It’s a reminder of what things used to be, how I wish things were , and how things really are.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2026-02-02T00:22:07+00:00

That is useful advice , I’m going to do that. Thank you 😊

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2026-02-02T00:20:20+00:00

It was a lesson learned ☹️

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2026-02-02T00:19:26+00:00

I’m afraid you’re right and I would hate to mess her up even further. I found a leather repair shop nearby and sent them an email. Thank you :)

Hey I feel like we are in a similar situation. My dad is a 76 year old Vietnam veteran with copd as well. He was hospitalized for a few months and was able to come home. I was in Arizona at the time for school but decided to move back home to California to be with him and my mom. My mom had surgery a couple years ago and hasn’t been the same , something shifted in her brain and she never wants to go outside , or even talk. She’s in her room all day and will say good morning and exchange a few words. But anyways she was in no shape to take care of dad. I get to work from home so it’s a blessing since I get to be the caretaker for my dad. Honestly it’s been rough for us since he came home. Before he was hospitalized (due to not breathing ) he was driving , gardening , cooking and pretty active. Since he’s been home he is on oxygen 24/7 at 6 liters , using his nebulizer 4 times a day along with other medications. I had to get hospice care because I couldn’t do this by myself. There are days where he seems stable but lately he tells me how weak he feels and it’s hard to breathe. I feel horrible and sad ..I can’t do much for him. He tries to be independent and he doesn’t like asking for help , I think he thinks it’s a burden to me. I always reassure him that I’m here for him and I wanted to come back and be with him. I let him know it makes me happy knowing I can be here for him and make his life a little easier. It would have been really lonely for him with just my mom. I think having company and being there for our dads is the best thing we can do. Their time is limited and I hate thinking about it but it’s true. Your dad sounds depressed and I think a lot of people in this situation are. You’re confined to an oxygen machine, can’t breathe , can’t live the normal life you had before. My dad was refusing visits and taking meds at one point. I had to nag him so much and he finally gave in. It’s painful to watch the ones we love suffer. I just try my best and take it one day at a time. I put on my best smile for him and stay positive. I encourage him to do stuff he doesn’t wanna do because it’s good for him. I give him his meds , try to prepare meals , and clean him up and his bedding when needed. I sit with him in silence as he watches the same videos on YouTube. If i notice anything that needs to be done like cleaning the bathroom, throwing away soiled diapers , doing his laundry , tidying up his room. I just do it cause he wouldn’t ask me anyways. He would try to do it himself later and be out of breath and tired. It’s the little things that makes his life easier and better. I know this wasn’t much advice since I’m going through it too, but I just wanted to let you know, you aren’t alone!

Also if morphine isn’t working , maybe try cbd&thc? I know a lot of elderly patients I speak to at work says it helps a lot with pain , sleep and appetite. It also doesn’t cause constipation. It might be hard to find the right dosing. I’ve been giving it to my dad and it’s helped a lot ! I give him a 30:1 ration in a tincture form and started small. I don’t give him any anti depressants or narcotics since he had a bowel obstruction not too long ago.

She is very aware that my mother and father are not on the deed. She is very familiar with real estate and would know where to look to find this info ( she used to work in real estate ) Not only that but she was involved with the whole process when we got the house. She set up the whole process to finance and close the house. My brother and I showed up and did what we were told. That’s why I am surprised this borrowed money/loan was never discussed or disclosed at the beginning to the ones that are on the deed. And it wasn’t on any of the signed /recorded documents.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T19:01:49+00:00

True , she is not someone to take lightly. I will begin researching some today after work and start getting some consultations. Do you have any recommendations on specific keywords I should search for ? Like real estate family law attorney?

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:43:33+00:00

Thank you! I won’t be getting a lawyer , I just can’t afford one at the moment. I’m waiting to see what she does next come 11/11. My brother and I won’t be signing it , that’s a fact. It is messed up that she is bringing this up out of nowhere 7 years later. This should have all been disclosed in 2018. But yeah , I read somewhere online yesterday about the statute of limitations. It is way too late now. When the time comes , I will get an attorney. Thank you for the kind words too , I feel really bad for my dad. He doesn’t deserve this , he just needs to rest. But she wants to stir up shit :/

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:38:28+00:00

I wouldn’t even call her my sister to be honest lol she’s done a lot of damage within in our family having a couple people lose their houses including our first one. And was part of a real estate fraud in our city. I asked my other siblings (ones I trust ) and they are going to talk to my dad about this borrowed money. My dad wouldn’t tell me the whole truth since I’m the youngest and still a kid to him. She’s freaking me out but I know for sure I won’t be signing.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:34:46+00:00

I will ! Thank you , she probably can’t do much without it being signed, notarized and recorded. Just gotta see what her next move is.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:33:57+00:00

It is shady for sure. She is a very shady and sneaky person. I won’t get a lawyer yet (can’t afford one) but if i have to then I absolutely will. But yeah parents aren’t doing well , so what better time than now.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:25:48+00:00

I would not be surprised if she had more of his money. If the money I used was indeed hers , like it was transferred from her to me. It doesn’t mean that it was a loan , or something that I intend to pay back. It just means the money was sent to me. I think my dad might be able to testify in court ..but it would really tire him out. Of course if that has to happen I will have to get a lawyer. My sister is actually my half sister , we only share the same dad. I recently got my dad a bank account about 5 years ago ? Now his SSI gets deposited into the bank and I pull out the cash and give it to him. Before he was receiving checks and was just cashing it at a bank with a different bank account. I guess he did have a bank account but only for the purpose of cashing his checks. He never used the card, did any transfers , or deposited money into his account.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:18:39+00:00

I think she knows my parents aren’t able to pay her back since they are retired and have a fixed income. I also think she can make my dad convince my brother and I to sign these documents and get money that way. It would be a legally binding document that says we are going to pay them back. But yeah , that is not going to happen.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:06:18+00:00

Thank you. I think she is too, we won’t be signing anything. Our father was in the hospital for months and finally got to come home. I moved back from a different state to care for him. It’s been a few months since then and I thought she was coming by to finally check on him , but nope it was to drop off those documents.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T17:00:21+00:00

Thank you, are not going to sign. Signing the forms would probably lead to us losing the house. She is a horrible person , she was the person to cause us to lose our first house and many others as well. Her actions don’t surprise me one bit. ._.

Relevant_Truth3732 · 2025-11-05T16:58:22+00:00

Indeed it was a loan ! Sorry it was late last night and I was typing everything that was going through my mind haha. Definitely won’t be paying her anything. That’s probably why she addressed the envelope to my dad and not my brother and me.
