   bseesahm replied to veronica77's topic in California

   I got an acceptance letter on Saturday too, but I'll be turning it down so there is one more open spot for someone else. I've been accepted into my first choice school (BSN).

2. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

   bseesahm replied to nicole15's topic in Online Learning

   Actually OU in CA was fully accredited and has graduated several cohorts. However, in late 2009 OU made the decision for financial reasons to leave CA. The last cohort started in SD and Glendale in January 2010. They will finish up in Spring 2011. SD...

3. have you taken any of these classes online: Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology

   bseesahm replied to amyleadon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've taken both of these classes online along with several others. Online classes are perfect for me. I can do work on MY time - early in the morning when the kiddos are asleep or during the day when they are at school. Some classes I could work ah...

4. Applying to ABSN Programs in So Cal

   bseesahm replied to PMHNP2023's topic in California

   The ABSN landscape in SD has been tumultuous in the past year. Try applying at CSU San Marcos or Concordia U in Irvine. They have been very helpful and easy to work with. It is frustrating that each school has different requirements. Good Luck!

7. Accelerated online into to psych???

   bseesahm replied to adom's topic in Online Learning

   I took Intro to Psych as an 8 week online class. The material was generally pretty easy, but the course was time consuming. There were several papers to write, 2 quizzes/week and 6-10 discussion board posts. I probably spent 15 hours/week on the cla...

8. HELP! UC Irvine vs Sonoma University

   bseesahm replied to terralinda's topic in California

   I'd say UC Irvine. It is a nice campus and you will have a good college experience with lots of opportunities for different activities. John Wayne airport is only a few minutes away so a weekend trip home is pretty easy. There are many good hospita...

9. Switching career to nursing - how to get started?

   bseesahm replied to salsaready's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Look into 2nd degree acellerated BSN programs. These are geared toward people like yourself with a BS or BA in a non-health field. I know in the Bay area Samuel Merritt has an excellent program and I'm sure there are others. Another option is to ...

10. NCLEX Timing?

    bseesahm replied to bseesahm's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks everyone for the information. It sounds like it may be technically possible maybe! I'm in CA, if that makes a difference.

11. NCLEX Timing?

    bseesahm posted a topic in NCLEX

    I'm a prenursing student, and I have a really basic question. What is the shortest time after graduating (ABSN) before you can take the NCLEX-RN? I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth it for me to finish the rest of my pre-req's this s...

12. Help finding a program in So-Cal

    bseesahm replied to wannabeRN7's topic in California

    With only B and rest A's Saddleback College in Mission Viejo may be a good choice. Entry is based solely on GPA for prereq's and GPA on last 12 units at one school. Your application should be competitive there. Good Luck!

13. Accelerated BSN in San Diego?

    bseesahm replied to living_dreams's topic in California

    I'm curious why you changed your mind about Azusa Pacific? As for the OP: it is frustrating that every school has different prereq's. Some schools need all prereq's to be completed before application. Others need prereqs to be completed before you b...

14. How long does Pre-Req take at community colleges full time?

    bseesahm replied to estellagirl's topic in California

    It depends how many classes you have to take and if you have the "prereq's for the prereq's" i.e. some schools require BIO or CHEM before taking Anatomy or Intro to Psych before taking Lifespan, etc. It is more difficult to take multiple science cl...

15. My Crazy Study Habit

    lol - I've been surfing here on a "study break" for the past 20 minutes! Reading this thread, I feel like a kid again and "mom" just caught me! Thank you for the laugh and also the push to get back to books! Slinking back to my study area in the liv...
