   sheilam replied to steven007's topic in General Nursing

   This is a fantastic post!!!  I love your categorization- it's spot on (at least in my experience). I have to share this with my classmates! 

2. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

   sheilam replied to CalB's topic in California

   Please excuse any spelling/grammar errors in my above post - I am posting via iPhone and I can never seem to hit the right letters! :)

3. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

   sheilam replied to CalB's topic in California

   HEllo, I must respectfully disagree with EllieBean regarding Ohlone (where I currently attend NS). There is no preference regarding where you love - over half of my class does not live in the Newark/Fremont area (where the school is located). I love ...

4. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

   sheilam replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got into my ADN program on the first try- however, it was a lottery system :) I did not have my CNA cert, but like Sandi said, you can get it after passing your nursing Fundamentals class. However, here in CA you do have to take the CNA cert test- ...

5. Starting Ohlone Fall 2010/Spring 2011

   sheilam replied to CharmantUn's topic in California

   Hello Charmantun! I was accepted for Spring 2011 - I agree, it's been very quiet here since emails went out. I'll admit, I haven't been doing much in terms of preparation so far - all my prereqs are done, so other than reviewing anat/phys, I have ju...

6. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

   sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello, everyone: The results are now on the website: http://www.ohlone.edu/instr/nursing/docs/20102011nursinglotteryresults.pdf

7. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

   sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They are taking 20 for fall and 20 for spring - as I understand it, if anyone in the Fall class (#s 1-20) declines, they move people in the Spring class (#s 21-40) up to fall. They will then move people on the waitlist up based on their number. So if...

8. Phlebotomy and/or EKG tech cert before starting nursing school?

   sheilam replied to Reebles's topic in Student Assist

   That's a great question! I start nursing school next Spring, so if others recommend this, I would love to know as well. Thanks for posting it, Reebles.

9. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

   sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good luck! What number are you on the waitlist? We know at least one person who got in isn't going (jennafez from an earlier post I think). I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

12. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow Jennafez - congradulations on both counts? Did it look like they sent a mass email to all winners (I'm just hoping that maybe she just hasn't sent mine yet....) Good luck! Sheilam

13. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California

    According to the Board of RN website, 24 sat for the NCLEX in 2009, and about 95% passed (about 23 people). I think this means that 24 people graduated, because you gotta graduate to take the NCLEX, right?

14. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California

    Thanks, Kay26 - you're right. It's just so hard in the face of rejection... I also applied to CCSF (didn't get in ), Chabot (I am out of district, so the best I can hope for is a high number alternate) and Ohlone (I haven't heard back yet)... I won...

15. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????
