1. is it true?

   huffy79 replied to mistydave's topic in CNA/MA

   I'm not sure about sitting for the exam, but I worked as a CNA/PCA in a hospital in Cincinnati on 3rd shift while going to school and taking my EMT class and I know that I had ample time to study. There were some busy nights, but mostly patients were...

2. Discouraged

   huffy79 replied to huffy79's topic in California

   I had the Kaplan Nurses entrance exam study manual that I used. I didn't have the money to pay for the ATI one since it was thrown at me at the last minute. Sad but true. Plus I didn't think I'd have the time to order it and all. I just used the Kapl...

   huffy79 replied to theshirls's topic in California

   I don't think so. I just took the test for Maric's RN program at the San Diego campus. They just changed the program up a bit. Are you looking for RN or LVN?

   I took the majority of the prereqs in Ky, where I started a nursing program before I got married. However...somehow biology and anatomy are not the same here as they are in Ky, same goes with psych. So here I am basically at the beginning again. No...

   huffy79 replied to huffy79's topic in California

   I know that everybody is either getting a 75 or 80% so I'm pretty low compared to that. I did sit down last night and talked to my husband, who got me to see a whole other side of this. If I don't get in in January, then I'll just take some classes a...

   huffy79 replied to huffy79's topic in California

   Thanks for responding. I was taking classes at Grossmont and headed towards their nursing program but I was told that they lost one of their accredidations, so I asked my advisor (I think you all call them counselors out here ) and he said yes and th...

   I took my TEAS test for Maric today and I did awful. Absolutely awful. I got a 65.9%, I am so disappointed in myself. My admissions rep told me that it's just the tie breaker at this point but I feel like I could do so much better. I would take it ag...

8. Is anyone taking the TEAS for Maric?

   huffy79 replied to huffy79's topic in California

   Sorry I am just now getting back to you all. I take it on the 30th so I've got a little over a week to study. They are charging, but just $20, which isn't a big deal to me. When I took my entrance test at a program in Ky, I had to pay $75. I think it...

12. Is anyone taking the TEAS for Maric?

    huffy79 posted a topic in California

    I got the call the last week that they have decided to redo their program and are now requiring the TEAS. They only have a 7 person limit for the test times so I'm waiting to see when I take it. Anyone else getting ready to take it for the January en...

    Are there any military spouses in San Diego in Nursing school right now? What are some ways you deal with your spouse being gone while you're trying to study? Do any of you have any children? I'm just getting started, again. The first time I was acc...
