I applied and wanted to see if I actually have any chance. I had applied for spring 2012 but didnt notice that I had to take statistics which I am now in progress. But everything seems good. I just want to hear and compare my application. My TEAS score was 83.5 and my prereqs science is Micro B, Physio B, Anatomy C, Chemistry Organic/Biochemistry A, Intro to Chem B. My other prereq: English, Critical Thinking, Speech are all A's. So what happens to my statistics do they make it into a C or B for now or how will my points be for having one in progress. I have over 100 hours of volunteering and speak Spanish. The sucky part is that i dont attend STAN STATE or live in the area.
I had worked in a clinic as an Medical Assistant for one seasonal term.
So for the math test is it pretty straight forward?? Whew a 100% !!!!!
you'll know more about it when they send you a letter about orientation and of course, during orientation.
For the medical terminology, it's pretty much basic like what is hyperkalemia, galactorrhea,hematemesis? so you have to study what each prefix and suffix and root words mean to figure out the meaning of the word. Buy a medical terminology book that will teach you those.
I vaguely remember it but I think there's a math test during first semester. You'll have a math book.
You won't really need your scrubs yet, they'll let you know when to buy them. But you will definitely need to buy a stethoscope. The rest of supplies needed for skills will be provided to you.
Every semester after the 1st sem, you'll have to take the math test and pass it 100% because making an error is like causing harm/killing a patient.
During orientation or before, they'll let you know that you'll have to do a 2-step TB skin test, physical, immunizations, urine drug screen, and background check. You also need to take a Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers class to get your certification.
Hi it's nice to meet u also? I guess we will know more once we receive our packet which should be soon, make sure to check your mail. As far as registering, yes we can. The classes we are allowed to register for are:
Nurs 3700, Nurs 2820, and Nurs 2000, only 9 units for the 1st semester. I've already registered for them.
Hi Nurse2b209,
i guess we will be classmate for Fall 2012. Very nice to meet you. Stanislaus is only one school I applied. I just want to ask you if you receive any information about the orientation for Nursing which is on mid Aug? When can we register for the Nursing courses? They dont tell me any information about what to buy for uniform or medical supplies...
Wow congratulations!!!! I've heard about those books, do u think that I should start getting familiar with the nclex even as a 1st semester student? People have been telling me different things but I know the instructors will tell us what to learn.
you'll have ATI tests starting 2nd semester and those are nclex style questions. Don't worry about kaplan and saunders yet cause they're a bit different from ATI.
Just enjoy learning during your first sem and it'll pass by pretty fast.
definitely prepare for those tests. the professors are awesome and having a small class helps professors remember each of you and that's great cause they would write letters of recommendation for you. I just scheduled my NCLEX for june and i'm so excited! I'm using the Kaplan and Saunders books to review. can't wait to start working as an RN. When you start, you'll have -------- as one of your instructors. Tell her Marjorie says hi. lol Most professors are strict at times but nice and fun as well. They're all easy to approach if you're a good student (just don't do anything to annoy them).
I know we are getting the med term test within the 1st week, but will we be also getting the med math test soon too? Also, are we allowed to use a calculator??? I ask that because I took a 1 unit pharm class and wasn't able use a calculator. It took longer but I can do it without one. I just want to know if I should start brushing up on doing math by hand again??

I don't quite remember but I think the math test is not on the first week. And you can use a calculator.

Thank you and I'm glad we are able to use a calculator it'll make things go quicker lol. I've been studying dosage calculations from Demystified and med term. Brushing up on everything because it's been since 2009 when I took those classes. Thank you again!!
