1. TEAS _ science portion

   sosiouxme replied to lulu0704's topic in General Nursing

   The Study Guide is a little intimidating because it goes way above and beyond what is actually on the test; that's good, however, because when you take the test you're so much more relived after the first few questions that the rest seems pretty much...

   They give you paper.

3. TEAS _ science portion

   sosiouxme replied to lulu0704's topic in General Nursing

   I wish I had my Study Guide but threw it away after the test. But I seem to remember that the last page (literally one page), and the back of the last page at that, had all that stuff on rock formation, plate techtronics, and something about ocean c...

4. Has anyone gotten accepted into any nursing programs with B's in all 3 pre-req's

   sosiouxme replied to madi'smomi's topic in California

   Saddleback accepts 60 students a semester, and 25% of those are lottery. They also have an additional 15 people take the TEAS and those people are considered "Alternates." This semester, every one of the Alternates got in. They even pulled some pe...

5. changes of admission to Golden West college and Santa Ana college

   sosiouxme replied to lauren19's topic in California

   Santa Ana WILL be accepting applications, only not for their 600+ Wait List. The list is going out the window and, like the other local J.C.'s, SAC is switching to accepting applications every semester and taking the students with the highest number...

6. Human Physiology Class Online

   sosiouxme replied to sweatpea23's topic in Online Learning

   The thing about Santa Ana is that the Nursing pre-requisite classes are really impacted; unless you already have a lot of units at SAC you won't have priority registration and will end up something like #50 on the waiting list for either Anatomy, Phy...

7. Are there really RN Jobs in Southern California?

   sosiouxme replied to onesmartgirl's topic in California

   Even though there is a "nursing shortage," it's theoretical only. It doesn't mean that hospitals are hiring. A fourth semester student at my school just applied to UCLA and said that there were over 60 applicants for one job. It also depends on wh...

8. TEAS _ science portion

   sosiouxme replied to lulu0704's topic in General Nursing

   I had only one Physics question, and I don't remember what it was but it was as basic as you can get; I think it was something about the "ball on a string" thing. Everyone who tested at my program had 3 or 4 of the Earth Science questions that were ...

9. Anyone accepted to Georgetown?

   sosiouxme replied to Kelzy's topic in Washington DC

   They have about 25 people in each interview. You all meet in a room and have "Orientation." They show a video, and have staff members pitch a spiel about the program. One thing I can tell you is that everyone in our room was astounded at the cost, ...

10. Advice on classes please :) *also any saddleback students out there?

    sosiouxme replied to nursingschool4mama's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I hadn't taken Biology in 25 years, and still got A's in all my prerequisites. I recently took Chemistry and, although I liked it, it didn't have anything that I hadn't already learned in Micro and Physiology. However, if you are planning on applyi...

11. Any other SAC nursing students? (How long did it take?)

    sosiouxme replied to CaffeinePRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also found out that the schools are moving to require Chemistry as a prerequisite - Saddleback will do it as of Fall '09 and either the students will have to score a certain percentage on a Chem. test, or take the Chemistry 108 class. Santa Ana sa...

12. Nurse Aide background checks

    sosiouxme replied to KarynicaRN's topic in Illinois

    I got admitted despite a DUI from less than 3 years ago. Check with the state where you want to go to school: California only lets background checks go back 7 years, but the school still let me in because my "clearance" was up 3 years before the...

13. Any other SAC nursing students? (How long did it take?)

    sosiouxme replied to CaffeinePRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes, but the thing about "depleting their list" is that it depends on how they do it. If they decide to go with their new system and then only take a small percentage off the list, people whose sciences expire will be knocked off the list. I don't ha...

14. Any other SAC nursing students? (How long did it take?)

    sosiouxme replied to CaffeinePRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I read about the Sana Ana stuff on their web site. They said they no longer will have the "Wait List" system after June, but didn't say exactly how they were going to do their admissions (they said they will be posting specific information in Januar...

15. Any other SAC nursing students? (How long did it take?)

    sosiouxme replied to CaffeinePRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just heard that Santa Ana (per new California legislation) is finally doing away with their Wait List; as of 2009 they are doing what the rest of the J.C.'s are ALREADY doing and accepting students based solely on points, with applications needing ...
