  1. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, that sounds accurate! I know some semesters it is lower or higher depending on the strength of the applicant pool. If we truly only have about 400 people this semester, odds are definitely in...

  2. Waiting on acceptance letter???

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to caffeinequeen26's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I think I find out officially this Friday. I'm getting quite antsy

  3. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Awesome haha! I took one CPR course over a decade ago now for a high school club. I am definitely feeling a little nervous about doing it

  4. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    I think an American Heart Association BLS Provider Course is what we want to take. I am a tad unfamiliar with CPR course differences to be honest

  5. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    I believe we need to have a valid AHA CPR card prior to starting the program if we are

  6. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't about it myself, but I can ask around. I know someone who had signed up to take it, but I am not sure when they planned to take it. I'll let you know if I can find anything

  7. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Haha I'm doing pretty great otherwise! Turned in my last final last night for my English class. I'll be taking a CPR class over summer and I am also doing my last semester as an SI. I think any...

  8. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah I know some people who couldn't take the TEAS in time or did poorly on it so they did not submit it. I am just glad to be done with finals and everything now. I think it helped to keep my mind...

  9. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    How is everyone holding up with the waiting? I am hoping we hear back next week sometime! If what I heard is correct, about 400 people applied this semester. Of those 400, I know of some people did...

  10. Help on getting into nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah you might be able to, but it will require some digging

  11. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    You're welcome and yes this is an ADN program, but there are some options to do bridge programs to get your BSN. While it isn't a BSN, check it out and see if this may be an option you may want to...

  12. Waiting on acceptance letter???

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to caffeinequeen26's topic in General Students

    I am in the same boat! I applied Jan./Feb. and find out in mid-June sometime whether or not I will start in the Fall. I don't even have an exact date, but it will be via e-mail haha! Fortunately, we...

  13. Just starting prereqs... dream schedule?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to mbrae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with ctdfmags. All of the sciences are interconnected and having a laying down the foundation will help pave you way to success. You may not have to use every single thing you learn, but you...

  14. Help on getting into nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure the OP mentioned whether or not she has taken those courses yet. Not every ADN program is based off a lottery system. The program I want to get into is in SoCal and does not do a lottery...

  15. Help on getting into nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed. I know a few people who have done this for medical school as science majors and it helped them raise their GPA enough to get it. It will not be drastic, but it may help to make some...

  16. Help on getting into nursing school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Celly09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To help raise your GPA, consider post-bacc. I would recommend going to the ADN route as well. There are programs that will give you extra points for having a degree and being a CNA (some require you...

  17. TEAS V Advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Gracerace12's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would honestly advise that you wait to take it if you have not taken A&P. I know of two people who have taken it and done well, but not in less than two weeks. I would highly recommend checking...

  18. Takeing the TEAS

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Jmpickett044's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check out the TEAS section of this website. A number of people have posted about their experience with it. I just took mine on May 4th and scored in the 90s. From my experience, I would recommend...

  19. Extremely Lost...Graduated with B.S. in Biology but Decided to Pursue Nursing

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to grand_theft_avocado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If money is an issue, the best option may be for you to look into going into a CC. You will graduate with an ADN. As you will still be Registered Nurse after passing the NCLEX, you may be able to find...

  20. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you! I just had a chance to pop over and talk with them today. I'll be looking more into

  21. Explaining Low GPA

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to jr1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a word of caution, financial aid for you may not be available or severely limited if you already used it getting your previous degree. I have not heard of someone going on as a transfer student...

  22. Pre-Calc

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to painelex's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are usually catalogs and schedules available that describe each what each class is about. Look for common

  23. Riverside City College: Fall 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to xxstarrynitesxx's topic in School, College Programs

    Any word on if they let you get started early? I have tried asking about the list, but was told we would get it once we are officially in the program and that there would be a day that someone would...

  24. Taking out a loan to pay for childcare during nursing school?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to LavenderDream's topic in General Students

    I am not sure what your relationship with the father is like, but perhaps you can make arrangements with him to help offset the costs and for child support. I also want to second that checking with...

  25. I don't think I want to do nursing anymore...

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to kathy6023's topic in General Students

    If you like the academic side of it, you may want to look into a career in Public Health, Microbiology, teaching the sciences, or something along those lines. While I am hoping to get into a nursing...
