1. University of San Francisco BSN 2013

   KristinaT replied to KZE15's topic in California

   Received my rejection letter--I wasn't surprised because even though my GPA is high, I'm not done with my volunteer work and it seems that everyone has either work or volunteer experience. I also was very apprehensive about the extremely high tuition...

2. University of San Francisco BSN 2013

   KristinaT replied to KZE15's topic in California

   Congrats to everyone who got admitted! I'm in SoCal so I'm assuming (hoping with fingers crossed, really) that it's on the way. Didn't have anything today...we'll see tomorrow or Monday. I hate snail mail! Mperal10--I wasn't aware that we could/shoul...

3. University of San Francisco BSN 2013

   KristinaT replied to KZE15's topic in California

   Thanks ladies, that makes me feel better. I've applied to a few schools in both San Fran and San Diego (where I currently live) because I'm not sure where ill be living next semester. My husband has applied to Berkeley and if he gets in we'll be movi...

4. University of San Francisco BSN 2013

   KristinaT replied to KZE15's topic in California

   I applied as well, but I'm not hopeful because I realized that even though my professor said she sent my letter of recommendation in the beginning of January it is dated as received on Jan 22--a full week after the deadline. Hopefully one of my other...

5. My two cents on the TEAS test (loooong post)

   KristinaT replied to KristinaT's topic in TEAS

   Yes, I guess my full explanations of what was on my test wasn't allowed--sorry! Rules understood now. As far as the questions regarding the test booklets--I think that the ATI is absolute necessary for you to know what will be on the test, don't get ...

6. What are my chances of getting into a San Diego Area RN Program?

   KristinaT replied to long2beanurse's topic in California

   It's hard to say because you're not telling where you are getting your points from. SDSU? San Marcos? Grossmont? SWC? SD City? Each program has different point systems so 59 point out of a total of 75 and a total of 90 could be a drastic difference.

7. Nursing school and my biological clock...pls reply if you can

   KristinaT replied to RN2Be77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I feel the way you do--I'm applying right now but I won't start nursing school until I'm at least 30 and possibly 31, if I don't get accepted with the first round because I'm not done with my last prereq or my volunteer work. That will put me at 33-3...

   No problem guys! I just wanted to pass along any and all info I could think of--I spent so much time stressing over the test and I hope that this can help others to focus their studying. Good luck!

9. My two cents on the TEAS test (loooong post)

   KristinaT replied to KristinaT's topic in TEAS

   @hope1202 I used the Nursing School Entrance Exam McGraw book but I believe that the science section in any McGraw book , especially the TEAS specific books, will have the same information. A friend of mine has a different version and the science loo...

    KristinaT posted a topic in TEAS

    I took the TEAS test yesterday after two extremely intense weeks of studying and I got a 90.7%. Hurray! I was super excited and I felt that my hard work had paid off, so I thought I would share a few tips and some general thoughts on the test and hop...

12. Need positive & encouraging vibes! Taking TEAS V in ONE WEEK!

    KristinaT replied to pdf1691's topic in TEAS

    You'll do well--you said you have a great GPA and you know the information, it's not new to you. Plus you already took the test once so you know what to expect and you know how everything is set up. I felt that the study manual gave me all of the per...

13. A question about Letters of Recommendation (University San Fran)

    KristinaT posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm having a bit of a freak out right now, haha, so hopefully you all can help. I am applying to USF and the last part of the application process for me is to send a letter of recommendation. My microbiology professor offered to write one for me at t...

14. Application Packets.....to folder or not to folder?

    KristinaT posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    When turning in application packets for nursing programs, should we include the forms and applications that are requested inside a folder? It does not specify how to send the information and I wonder if sending inside of a folder is preferred. I've s...

15. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

    KristinaT replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I thought I would have a problem with the cat dissection when I took Anatomy because I have my furbaby at home but I actually just jumped right in. Once you get over the initial "Oh my god, that's a cat" (especially because the one for my group had t...
