   nay2vp replied to annabelle2222's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know what your financial situation is, but I was able to have my application fees waved when I applied to Fresno and Stanislaus. Have you looked into that?

   nay2vp replied to mskranky's topic in General Students

   Maybe you should think about waiting a semester. That way you can focus on the healing part first.

6. Wellsfargo Medcap loan to help with cost of living, i.e. DAYCARE!

   nay2vp replied to mmw99's topic in General Students

   I don't have private loans, but I do get federal loans. In addition to grants and scholarships, I receive about $9000/year in subsidized/unsubsidized loans. They get paid out once a semester. I'm in a BSN program, btw. When I did my prereqs at the lo...

7. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

   nay2vp replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't have any trouble getting into my BSN program. I finished my prereqs at a community college Spring 2012, and then started my program at a CSU the following semester. So I think it just depends on the university.

8. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

   nay2vp replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did my prereqs and general ed at a CC, then transferred to Fresno State, where I got in to their BSN program right away. There was no waiting around for me.

9. What is your program's late-work policy?

   nay2vp replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

   I'm in a BSN program (about to start 3rd semester), and so far, late work has not been accepted. Neither is the option to just 'not' turn something in.

    nay2vp replied to cnoto34's topic in Pre-Nursing

    nay2vp replied to aml1109's topic in General Students

    Definitely Get a dry erase board! It makes practicing med math a lot funner!

12. Selling books on Amazon...

    nay2vp replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Instead of selling it back to Amazon, sell it on Amazon Marketplace. That's what I did with some of my textbooks after this last semester.

13. Will First Offender keep me out of nursing?

    nay2vp replied to PaperButterfly's topic in Criminal

    Have you looked into getting it expunged? You will still have to disclose it to the BON but it may help you.

14. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

    nay2vp replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

    I'm at fresno state and right now, students are only accepted in the fall to the university. I got into my program Fall 2012 and the cutoff was 3.8 gpa. The Spring cutoff was 3.5 or 3.6. It was a lot lower because only fresno state students were able...
