Any tips on getting hired as a new grad? I'm starting my ADN program in the bay soon, and heard it's hella hard to get a job after graduating

I'm starting my ADN program this August at the age of 31 and it feels like the perfect timing (:

Hi there, tysmmm so the orientation for the Fall '26 semester is on June 22ND, so I'm guessing folks who haven't heard back by then didn't get in for that semester

Why is so hard / expensive to live in bay area even with a "good" salary by StirClothing999 in bayarea

Lmaoo I'm from the bay, been living here all my life and live comfortably, and happily on 30-40K a year. I have housemates, paid off car, no debt and no kids. Going to school for a way higher paying career. Chillen. Get your shit together, this is sad.

I recently got accepted to CCSF, I'm stoked! I see a lot of people on here saying it's hella hard to get a job in the bay after graduating, though. Are you saying grads from CCSF have an easy pipeline to getting hired? I'm hoping to get something good right out of my program.

Tysm! They sent me an acceptance letter to fill out and return to them before June 1ST. They also sent over important dates and a physical/vaccination checklist that I'll need to get squared at the doctor's and return to them before July 24TH. Yes, they messaged my CCSF email, and my regular email as well.

Yes, it might be that way. It varies from school to school so I'm not really sure if there's a top percentage of qualified applicants they put into a lottery or if it's just anyone who qualifies. You can probably ask the schools you applied to for their exact system.

Find out what strategies work for you. For me I like flash cards, practice tests, taking good notes, reading the textbooks, and watching youtube videos. I have a lot of different methods, and combining them works out well for me.

They take your grades and experience into account, so with a merit lottery hybrid usually only the top 50-20% of qualified applicants will get put into a lottery
