1. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   Did they explain the remediation program to you? I know if one does not pass the TEAS, this is what they offer you. I only ask because they are giving us a week to prepare for the TEAS and I'm not sure I'll pass. (Very nervous)

2. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   I am so sorry, I was unable to get to my computer this weekend after I posted due to work. I was accepted, but they forgot to call me. Had I not called, I wouldn't have known until I received my letter (which I just got today in the mail). As far as ...

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   Good job! Any pointers for the TEAS? I am so nervous as we only have a week to prepare (I've been studying but I honestly did not have the mindset that I would get in this time around, my fault). I have the ATI study guide and practice exams as well ...

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   I am so sorry I am late posting. I broke down and called as well....they forgot to call me. They felt bad, but I was accepted. Please know, if you weren't accepted do NOT give up. I was not accepted my first time applying, most get in on their second...

   UPDATE: a friend of a friend was accepted via phone call yesterday afternoon....has anyone heard anything? I'm a tad confused because she said she wasn't an alternate and was chosen in the lotto and that alternates are only chosen when someone doesn'...

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   I am on pins and needles, too. When I applied during the last application period, it was more organized. I got the "not chosen in lotto" letter the first time (which I was told was a rejection letter). They are behind this time around and it seems l...

7. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   This is just so nerve wracking. Waiting another two weeks is horrible. And I don't really get why they wouldn't send out the eligible but not accepted letters with the rejection letters. Ugh.

8. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

   SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

   Update: they were rather misleading and I am thankful I called them today. They told me acceptance, waitlist, alternate and eligible but not accepted (AKA NOT chosen in lotto, which I think should be sent out with rejection letters) will be sent out...

   Update: i called today and they told me rejection letters were sent out on Friday. So if you don't hear anything by Wednesday, I'd say we are safe! Acceptance letters will be sent out two weeks from now.

10. Bakersfield College Nursing Program GPA Requirements

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to BethB.'s topic in California

    At BC there are two steps when they choose applicants. Firstly, they evaluate your GPA (minimum of a C grade in all required pre-reqs, which is kind of ridiculous to me, lol). They also look at how many withdrawals and repeats you have taken. Then t...

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School Programs

    Hello everyone! I too am applying for the Spring 2015 semester and waiting for the letter to come in the mail. I've kept in close contact with the nursing department staff as they have been low on office staff this year. They also told me rejection l...

12. immigrant visa application to the US from Philippines

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to kimcruz's topic in Immigration

    Hello. I'm currently living in California but I am a Canadian citizen. I must warn you, the wait for a green card is a long one(if that is your end goal). I moved here in 2002 with my mother who had a RN position awaiting her (and an employment visa...

13. Would you miss the first day of class?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    Hello, I wouldn't miss the first day of class. To be honest, I think that it would look bad. I am sure if you explained the situation to your boss, that he or she would understand fully and have you start sooner or another day. Especially beinv in t...

14. Canadian Nurses. Yeah, you! And you! Over here! I got a question for you.

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration

    Also, make sure everything you fill out form wise is accurate(as well as your employer). One mistake and they will not approve you and the process will start all over again. Immigration has become very difficult and they are sticklers for perfection...

15. Canadian Nurses. Yeah, you! And you! Over here! I got a question for you.

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration

    This. My mom is an rn (we are from Canada) and moved to California in 2002. She had to have a work visa sponsored by her job (the hospital in this case) and a letter from her employer prior to us crossing the border. I am still a legal immigrant here...
