1. Wasn't accepted to the RN program at LBCC, now what?

   CalGal98 replied to theloneran6er's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sorry you're disappointed, but if your cumulative GPA is less than the minimum required for admission (in this case, a 2.5 GPA), then you're not eligible for that particular program. I believe Cypress college still accepts with a 2.0 cuml GPA. You M...

3. Big dilemma please give me some advice!!

   CalGal98 replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

   California works differently from other states. While some states admit to a nursing program and allow for "prerequisites" to be taken within the first few terms of the program, California is just the opposite. In California, nearly every campus (bo...

4. Is organic chemsitry needed at these Cal-States?

   CalGal98 replied to dine saw's topic in California

   CSULB and CSUF (and most all other BSN programs) have required a chemistry class for years. They changed the required Chemistry course in 06-07 to a survey course covering inorganic, organic, and biochem for nursing students. Prior to '06, RN-BSN stu...

5. CSU's not accepting new students for spring 2010?

   CalGal98 replied to elfgirl's topic in California

   According to what has been announced, CSU campsues are closed to all majors. In the past, impacted campuses have closed to most all majors - nursing and engineering were the exceptions. Don't expect that to be the case this year due to the budget cri...

   CalGal98 replied to CranialNerves12's topic in Pre-Nursing

   According to the department, they are not accepting any CC transfer students into the ELBSN due to the budget cuts. If you were a native (freshman-start) student then your application will still be considered.

7. Taking advice from advisors

   CalGal98 replied to BeenThereDoneThat74's topic in General Students

   NurseEducate: Thank you for posting this. I think that when many students are told not do to something, they think they know themselves best and can "handle it all", when inactualilty, that's not always the case. I think what you've posted is excell...

   CalGal98 replied to monkeykiss's topic in Pre-Nursing

   welcome to the California budget crisis! Sadly, this is only going to get worse - I fully expect more sections of every subject to be canceled in the upcoming year.

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

   CalGal98 replied to lauren19's topic in California

   I know that at GWC - there were close to 725 applications this semester, and honestly, that's too much for any school to handle. Each semester the number goes up and there's very few people to process this. Several campuses only have applications ava...

    All the community colleges are a 67%. the CSU's are way higher because they can be more selective.

11. Anyone get into the Golden West nursing program for fall 2009

    CalGal98 replied to Tinaweber17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    really - the letter didn't say you were offered a space in the Fall class? I'm sure that means you're going to be in the program as long as you pass the TEAS test! They only TEAS test the selected class and the first dozen alternates or so. :ancong...

12. Anyone get into the Golden West nursing program for fall 2009

    CalGal98 replied to Tinaweber17's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know they have to send out two letters so that if someone isn't qualified they can appeal. A few schools do that. Plus, there's only like two or three people that process all the apps - I heard there was something like 725+ this semester.
