   I am not sure if you already did this, but you should start by getting information from you prospective schools to see what they require-go to their websites and download their course catalog and also take a look at an application. In general these a...

2. ASN vs. BSN

   maggie24 replied to nursestudent1975's topic in Pre-Nursing

   True, SJSU will not take 2nd bachelor's students, but at SJSU you can still do their RN-BSN Advanced Placement program, and they will accept all of those GE class from your undergrad. You can also do RN-MSN programs which will also take into account ...

3. No financial aid unless accepted to nursing program?

   maggie24 replied to dolphin2027's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Have you filled out a FAFSA? Have you spoken to a financial aid counselor? Sometimes financial aid staff are uninformed/misinformed about the financial aid available to students. You def. should check this out b/c it doesn't sound right that they can...

   maggie24 replied to al_e135's topic in California

   Sonoma state too, but their program is very small 30 students or so . . .apply to as many schools as you can to maximize your chances of getting in. Good luck! BTW, ucsf only has entry-level master's (you need a BS or BA) and other MSN programs, but ...

   maggie24 replied to gymnagirl44's topic in NP

   thanks for starting this thread, very informative, as I too love babies and am aspiring to be a PNP or NNP, and was wondering the path to get there as well. I am also "tenderhearted" and sensitive, but I guess I will see where i fit in during nursing...

7. No financial aid unless accepted to nursing program?

   maggie24 replied to dolphin2027's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Out here in Cali, financial aid is based on need, not on the classes you take. I am assuming that since the FAFSA is federal, it is the same in every state. You fill out a FAFSA, and based on your income, if you are dependent or independent of your p...

   maggie24 replied to al_e135's topic in California

   I have a friend who went there for her undergrad/prereqs but ended up going to another CSU for NS. She got accepted at several CSU's, but not SFSU. SFSU has 1200 applicants for 80 or so spots! crazy! You might find that any of the the other CSU's may...

    maggie24 posted a topic in Post Graduate

    What path do you take to get to NP program? Is it a certificate that you get after your MSN, or a part of the curriculum? I have been researching this, but I am still a little confused as to the path one would take to be an NP. Anyone who is in an NP...

    maggie24 replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in General Nursing

    It is a good idea to take your req's at CC b/c they are the pretty much the same as the university, except maybe for chem and some other support courses. What you may consider doing is to take A&P and the other core science reqs you need for the ...

14. "Delete and Repeat" Grade Policy?

    maggie24 replied to sashimi's topic in California

    At LB state, the grade of D or F will not "disappear" from transcripts, BUT it will not be factored into GPA after you repeat it. But not for a C. At my school, this was a well known fact that it was "better" to get a D or F than to get a C or W b/c ...
