Sp2017

I came late for my clinical 2 hours due to my family emergency. I forgot to turn on my cellphone on, so when my buddy in clinical group called me, I didn't know. I also forgot to call for my instructor, so I ended up with Due process report. It was a bitter lesson to learn for me. ;(

last yr, I received an email by 5/12.

I did poorly on my first exam in one nursing class because I didn't know where to focus. All my classes are taught in a fast pace. Even I read the book, but there were too much information to be absorbed. Then, I changed my study method. The next two exams from other classes I got 90% -95%. I focused on my instructors' lectures. I recorded the lectures. Whatever on the lectures, I didn't understand clearly, I would read twice from the book as well as made map/diagram etc...so I could see the connections or rationales. Finally, I looked for free online quizzes to test out my knowledge. When taking exam, I underlined the keywords, so I wouldn't miss/mistake important words as well as not get distracted from other words. Hope it can help you do well on next exam.

If Anatomy and Physiology classes are not offered separately, I'd follow Jen's recommendation. Otherwise, it's okay to take Anatomy and Physiology classes at the same time because you will see some overlaps between these two classes. I don't recommend take 4 core-sciences classes at the same time. Tons of information, homework, lap-reports, and exams will drive you crazy and affect your GPA.

Hi, I used to be in the same situation like you before , so I understand ur feeling. I'd like to try my best to help you out, give you some ideas about nursing. 1) ADN =associate degree in nursing 2) BSN = bachelor degree in nursing So yeah, you need to take general educational (GE ) courses to earn your degree at the end. You don't need to take all GE classes before taking prerequisites. Depending on ur strength in study, you can take 1-2 core prerequisites with some GE classes which you think you can handle. It's the best that you talk with counselor. They can answer your questions and help you set up an educational plan for what classes or when you can take them. To take the road ADN, and then do RN-BSN program or go straight to BSN , you have to be the person who decide it . We can't help you with it. You can google. There are many topics in this forum about it. However, since it's very competitive in applying for nursing program, I recommend you to apply for both ADN and BSN programs to see how things work out unless you are strong-confident in your choice-school.

From what I understand, if you are qualified, you can get Bogg fee waiver cover for your class fee, no matter how long you've enrolled in school. For Pell Grant, there is a limit in lifetime receiving Pell. You cant receive Pell if your LEU is maxed to 600%. You may be able to borrow Loan (subsided or non-subsidized ). And its max borrowing length = ur program length x 150%. You can find this information on fafsa and nslds websites.

Well, if you used to recieve Federal financial aid in the past, and now you apply for it again, the financial aid office will ask you to submit all previous transcripts in. I think "wipe out transcript" is the best option for you. It makes things easy for you later. You can take a few units per semester.

You should check with your school. The school I applied last year has a minimum required scores in reading section in order to be eligible for applying. If there is a tie, it will use reading score to decide first.

Hi dura.mater, you should contact Catherine. She will help you with requesting a new upload. -------------- May I ask what brand of stethoscope you guys plan to buy?

Thanks for sharing the information, YassQueen. I appreciate it. I was worried so much about it. I read the sample of immunization reports for class 2016 , and they accepted the qualitative test for Hep B/C, so I think I got everything done untill they said we need to do quantitative tests in the orientation.:nailbiting: Btw, congratulation on getting into the program.

Hey guys, I'm confused that whether we need to submit qualitative or quantities test for hepatitis B/C ?? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm accepted into the Fall 2017, but I will decline my spot. Just let u guys know, so don't lose hope. Wish all u guys the best lucks !

Hey guys, Catherine just called me a few mins ago. I'm officially accepted into Chabot nursing program now. I wish the best luck to all of you who are still waiting. Hope we will meet in Fall 2017. Btw, you guys may need to look up for the instruction of background check in advance. I have a short time to complete and turn it by next Wed.

Oh, Thanks for the explanation.

Hi all, I read on the application which said the emails would be sent out by June 30th. Now , it is only 5/29. Is it too early to expect the emails, isn't it ?

Yeah sure, qvuong. I will let u guys know as soon as my number is called.

Im sure they havent reached the number #16 yet (which is me ) . I will update information if they give me a call .

I guess there are not many people giving up spots for Chabot this year. The waiting is so stressful. Last year, on May 28th, they already called up to # 21. Btw, do u guys plan to take CPR class yet?

I didn't take AP1&2, but I did take both Anatomy and Physiology classes in Fall 2015. I also took Statistic in that semester. I found it hard sometimes, but it was doable. There were some overlaps between two classes.

Im # 16. Hope we all get in. :))

Thanks for your input, qvuong. ^^

I think you should talk with counselors. They will help you find a way to improve your GPA. For example, some schools require COMM course as Interpersonal communication or Public speech etc.... If you get low grade on Public speech, you can improve ur grade by taking Interpersonal comm. class to substitute for Public speech.

The final decision will be given out on May 18th or 19th

Before you take the accelerated A&P class, make sure the nursing program that you apply will accept it. I forgot which school, but when I did my nursing application, I encountered one school which didn't accept hybrid classes on core science classes like Anatomy, Physiology...

I came back to school in Fall 2015 to take some prerequisites, then I applied for 3 local schools, but didn't get accepted. My GPA was 3.75 and TEAS 82%. I decided to take 4 more classes which are required in other schools' program. This year I applied 10 schools. So far I got accepted by 2 schools, on alternate lists of 2 schools, got denied by 1 school. The results from the rest won't come until late May or June.
