   TCool774 replied to paigebee's topic in California

   Pre-reqs was fine, then Funds came around and the ONLY instructor who teaches it is one useless person, and with her passive-aggressive attitude once you ****** her off...oh no. Memorize the book from page 1 to the end. The instructor doesn't help yo...

2. Fundamentals & using an alternative base source? Eliminating Potter & Perry.

   TCool774 replied to TCool774's topic in General Students

   ^Yes. Definitely a couple books at least that already has the material outlined. I have the Hogan (red) book right now and I'm going to start reading it plus doing nclex style questions. Still waiting on my fundamentals success book. I think it was ...

3. Fundamentals & using an alternative base source? Eliminating Potter & Perry.

   TCool774 posted a topic in General Students

   Hi. I'm in my first term of Nursing. I'm taking Fundamentals, the lab, and intro to professional nursing in which I'd like to drop to focus on fundamentals. I just took my first quiz for fundamentals and got a whooping 66%. Granted, I didn't read th...

   If you take all your prerequisites at a CC, you'll save yourself over $30,000 to $40,000. The North Hollywood campus has higher passing rates then the other campuses. Within the 80's is good IMO. St. Mary's college (which is a more known prestige ...

   They got accredited in Nov-Dec of 2011. They have a problem with the AACRAO though. That could prevent you from transferring over to CSU for example.

   Yesterday I felt like crap, but today I feel better about it. Worst comes to worst...CSULA can go to h***. I'll take my N.P program elsewhere. Maybe even USC. I'll worry about it later.

   TCool774 replied to j-lyn's topic in California

   Yeah no way. Online programs are sketchy in my opinion. So I've gotten in contact with the director of admissions and the executive director. So far so good. The E.D has a good point, might have been overlooked. The accreditation is only 4-5 months o...

   Okay here's important info for anyone concerned over WCU's newly WASC accreditation. I called CSULA to see if I could transfer over with a BSN from WCU. They said NO. Why? They haven't reported it to the AACRAO. CSULA basically checked their director...

   TCool774 replied to j-lyn's topic in California

   Nope. You can get the paper work started and in the end (before you start signing financial aid papers RIGHT in the end) you can decide to pull back. I did it last year when I found out they weren't WASC accredited. The first thing I did was have a c...

    Yep. They'll be pushy towards you when you go to a info session too. They made me "apply" once I walked in that door.

    At the info session? No. You'll need to bring official transcripts. They'll have the person in charge of transfers go through it, and contact you within 2-3 days.

    Pre-requisites I guess, and it got more expensive this year.

    I knocked off all pre-reqs except cultural pluralism, pathophysiology (such an unusual pre-req) and biochemistry (which is BS, excuse my language). I just bought the book and it's an integrated course of inorganic, organic, and biochem. I took a cour...

    TCool774 replied to j-lyn's topic in California

    My main concern is if Cal State L.A will accept the B.S.N degree and the credits so I can take the Master's program there. I want to be a Nurse Practitioner. I won't have a problem finding work at all.
