1. Do you ever feel ready to take NCLEX?

   misslisa replied to ginar1274's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX 6/12 and am hopeful that I passed, having gotten the 'good pop-up' and my state doesn't do quick results. I did not do a review. In retrospect, I don't think it would have helped. The SATA questions suck. After you take the test, yo...

2. Advice Please on BEST Stethoscope, Blood Pressure Cuff...and SHOES

   misslisa replied to newbtonursing's topic in Uniform/Gear

   most schools will have a BP cuff to use. IMO, it's a waste of money to buy one.

5. Anyone going to Sierra College (Rocklin, CA) this fall? I'm an alternate!

   misslisa replied to Skyprinzessin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks! Congrats to you too! I took the TEAS a year and a half ago when I applied for Sutter. It was pretty easy, but the science threw me for a loop. I don't know anything about tectonic plates and earth science stuff. I will be studying the TEAS...

6. Sierra College Letters?

   misslisa replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing

   just wanted to see if any of these people are still around. How has Sierra been? Starting in the Fall '10 and just wanted to get some "reviews" if you could spare some time. Thanks!

7. ATI assessment and testing modules??

   misslisa posted a topic in General Students

   I am starting ns in the fall (after 2 years of rejection:yeah:) and my school just posted info for orientation, uniforms (Im so excited! ), and then there were ATI test fees of 454.00 (approx.) saying the school uses ATI for assessment, practice test...

8. Anyone going to Sierra College (Rocklin, CA) this fall? I'm an alternate!

   misslisa replied to Skyprinzessin's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, after 2 years of applying to 4 different schools each semester, I got my letter of congratulations a little over a week ago. I am so excited! I have only attended LosRios, so Sierra will be a new school for me. It seemed like such a long har...

9. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

   misslisa replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah....30 out of 400 in addition to second and third time applicants getting half of the 30 pool (that's how the counselor described it to me, anyway). Unfortunately, as far as the accelerated program from Sutter, it is the last selection process th...

10. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    misslisa replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just got my "you met the criteria, but where not selected" letter from Sierra. It was my first time applying there (2nd for ARC and SCC). AT least I won't have to do the whole app again (well, hopefully I'll get in this semester and won't have to...

    misslisa replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You GO GIRL!!!! You can do it!!!! Great job on the TEAS!!! Wow!!! I agree, the book really worked for the math...tha science was my challenge....and I took Chem a couple years ago. I was out of school for 15 years, and boy did I feel strange at fi...

12. Teas Test

    misslisa replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had a friend who had the workbook, so I did look at. It would be helpful if you need a math refresher. Math has always been easy for me (I loved the stoichiometry problems - lol!). The tricky thing about the math for a lot of people, is the amou...

13. Teas Test

    misslisa replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well, I guess everyone is different... The math portion (99%) was super easy to me - but only had a few minutes to spare. Just refresh your memory on fractions and percentages. Oh, another thing to refresh on would be metric conversions. Also, calcul...

14. How far WOULD you and DID you travel for nursing school?

    misslisa replied to teacher08's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would drive an hour or so each way. Is there a possibilty for you to move? Although I would drive 1+ hr each way - it certainly isn't ideal. GL to you!

15. Nursing School Acceptance Letters for this FALL

    misslisa replied to GGT1's topic in Pre-Nursing
