CSU Stanislaus Nursing applicants for Fall 2011?

tina516 · May 6, 2011

Hello hOpeful1-

According to their point system a person can actually make 125 points. But that isn't usually common. My points added to 93. I didn't do too well on the Teas because I didn't study and I felt I was rushed. I like to take my time on tests. So my score was 78%, but I have a 4.0 in all science and non-science classes. I am also bilingual and volunteer at a Modesto hospital. The only thing I didn't get points for was the minimum of 9 units at CSU. I just transferred from MJC.

So hopefully you will get accepted. I wish you great luck!

My overall points were 91, and my gpa is 3.7 I also got alot of the additional points so It appears that as long as your in the 90s you will get in? Good luck, please post if you get in!

Hi, my name is Maria...I got my letter yesterday and didn't get good news like you guys did. I got alternate 22. I would have to be lucky to get in, but I still hope.

Hey Laura912-

Have you bought a med terminology text yet? We are supposed to be tested on that the first week of school. Are you an existing student at Stanislaus? I just started Stanislaus this semester. I started my upper division general ed.

Maria209-

don't give up....according to past posts there have been plenty of alternates that still got in. Good Luck!

Tina- I took medical terminology last summer, so I think Im just going to use that textbook, and yes I am a current student at Stanislaus, what upper div ge are you taking?

Laura-

I took Professional Ethics and Family Health this semester. I just need the Bio class on DNA that is a Nursing co-requisite. Oh yeah and Sociology because I took Anthropology at MJC and CSU wants sociology for their nursing program.

Are you done with upper division?

laura912 · May 7, 2011

Almost, I just need an F3 course and the multicultural requirement and thats it.

Laura and Tina-Thanks for letting me know. You guys did great. I got my letter and I'm on the alternate list :[ My grade isn't too great. The one class that mess me up is Organic chemistry.

Hey! I got in, numer 3 on the alternate list! I'll be classmates with you guys (and hopefully some of you other alternates, don't give up hope!)

Laura912- What medical terminology book do you recommend?

I'm moving up there from Southern California so any tips on ANYTHING would be helpful (e.g.-weather, areas to live). Also, I'll be up there Sunday night and Monday (5/22-23) if any of you want to meet up and chat about the program :)

laura912 · May 18, 2011

Congratulations! I think any medical terminology book will be fine but I am using the book Medical Terminology Systems: A Body Systems Approach. Are you planning on living in Turlock? If you would like to email me my email is [email protected] : ) I would love to meet up and chat :)

tina516 · May 18, 2011

Congrats Noelleana! It will be great to meet up with future classmates. Just let me know what day you want to meet. I live in Modesto and Turlock is just 20 minutes away. My email is [email protected].

Laura- I just read what book you have and I bought that same one from Barnes and Noble earlier in the month. How funny!:) It looked really good and I hope to complete it this summer.

Well hope to hear from both of you soon!

Couldn't help but read your post and respond... Im in my second year at stan in nursing... I think someone in our class was in the 60's and got in...it all depends who does and doesnt end up deciding on Stan... Keep your chin up...you still have a chance!

To the rest of you who got in...congrats! Its been a longgggg first year but I am amazed at the amount of material I learned.... enjoyyyy your summer. The medical terminology test is not bad at all...just basics...I got the medical terminology made easy book and aced it. You'll be fine :)
