  1. Low GPA, High Pre Requisites

    Carpelibrum replied to LTC5314's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADN programs In Ventura county are very competitive. There are lots of students with Bachlor's degrees looking to get their RN with no debt. The only ADN program locally that does not factor in cum...

  2. Asking for insight, await BSN admission or go for RN first?

    Carpelibrum replied to brunosabray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No do not wait you are at a disadvantage for CSU’s in Southern California. What if you wait a year and still don’t get in? I would apply everywhere and do a BSN that’s concurrent at one of those...

  3. LPN-RN, LPN, or BSN? How should I do this?

    Carpelibrum replied to snowgal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Southern California is brutal. You need to ace your prerequisites and your entrance exam and pray for a spot. The BSN program where I live in Ventura county had 800 apply for 40 spots. As for the LVN...

  4. Ventura College Fall 2019

    Carpelibrum replied to MamaBacon12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    congratulations thats amazing news! At orientation there was less than 30 people and someone didn't show up. I thought there was plenty of room for more people. I messaged you my

  5. Taking A&P 1&2 at the same time

    Carpelibrum replied to LD1289's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it if a B will ruin your chances. I was also tempted to take them together and Im so glad I didn't. In the end I took one science at a time, and got into 4 schools in so cal. In the grand...

  6. Please critique my study system

    Carpelibrum replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    I would skip re-listening to lectures. I record lectures but only re-listen to certain parts if I was struggling. Often I could find the topic on youtube instead of re-listening at all. For me I only...

  7. In-Person TEAS VI prep classes in SoCal? (only one try left)

    Carpelibrum replied to helgaiden's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Yes it is structured. I’d say it’s bulletproof in that if the practice test A and B say he’s getting a certain % that’s very close to what he will get. There’s a few smart prep threads on...

  8. In-Person TEAS VI prep classes in SoCal? (only one try left)

    Carpelibrum replied to helgaiden's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    He needs to buy the ATI smart prep made by the people who make the Teas, and do all 65 modules. It comes with two tests that are huge indicator for how he will score. I would not take it again without...

  9. First day of cna and it’s rough

    Carpelibrum replied to Helpmelol's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was nervous when I started my CNA job last year. It was my first time with hands on a patient. You will be just fine I think it takes a good month to get the hang of things. My main advise is Do Not...

    Can you apply to a different

  11. Los Angeles Pierce College ADN - Fall 2019

    Carpelibrum replied to Arelyphg's topic in School, College Programs

    It said I was chosen as a stand By. If an accepted student didn’t show for orientation I would be admitted. Stand by students that go to orientation are guaranteed a spot next semester. This is the...

  13. Ventura College Fall 2019

    Carpelibrum replied to MamaBacon12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I asked when I turned in my application what happens if your the first person who didn’t get in? If that would make you first on the waitlist, and she said No anyone who isn’t in is assigned a...

    Carpelibrum replied to MamaBacon12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Is a 3.3 Science GPA A Deal Breaker for California ADN Programs?

    Carpelibrum replied to iCantDraw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got into Ventura for Fall 2019 with NO waitlist. I got an A in physiology and Micro, but a B in anatomy. I got an 88% on my teas. These stats got me into college of the canyons, Glendale, and...

  16. Is a 3.3 Science GPA A Deal Breaker for California ADN Programs?

    Carpelibrum replied to iCantDraw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you score high on your teas you might be ok. If you’re near Ventura county there is a program with a waitlist. As long as you have at least a C in your pre-reqs you go on the list. It might take...

  17. Ventura College Fall 2019

    Carpelibrum replied to MamaBacon12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was told waitlist numbers will be given in July, but this was back when I turned in my application so maybe it

  18. What should I do?

    Carpelibrum replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good teacher all the way! Rate my professor has never let me down. Bad review tend to mean the teacher puts things on the exam that weren’t in

  19. Is this a reasonable schedule?

    Carpelibrum replied to igottaconquer246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you’re in a highly competitive area( where a B is really going to hurt you) I’d lighten your load. I found A&p 11 easy, but Micro was a beast. Those two labs will add so much additional...

  24. Microbiology this summer. Am I crazy?

    Carpelibrum replied to NeedASugarDaddyOrSomething's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally found Microbiology to be way harder than AP2. I got A’s in both but I think I would have got B’s if I would have done the summer. I personally wouldn’t do it if your in a very...

  25. Glendale Community College- Fall 2019

    Carpelibrum replied to FutureRN2396's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Traffic mostly. My top choice is Ventura Community college as it’s only 20 minute drive for me. For those that’s don’t know they have a true waitlist. If you are not accepted with points you go...
