  1. Practice exam A and B

    Etak replied to gopats1234's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    @mchlstvn I didn't realize you were taking the teas as well! Thank you for the update. I'm taking mine in mid-August and have been studying off and on for a few weeks. I have a summer course I'm...

  2. Practice exam A and B

    Etak replied to gopats1234's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    How did it go,

  3. Practice exam A and B

    Etak replied to gopats1234's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hi there! I have not taken the real teas yet but have taken both A and B practice. With them, you test in this order: reading, math, science, English. After you answer each and every question, it...

  4. Does pre-req science classes expire for nursing program?

    Etak replied to michiboo's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the school. I know of the 4 schools I am looking at, only one has course expiration of 7 years, and only for the core bios and nutrition. The other three do not. All 4 schools are...

  5. Is this for Me?

    Etak replied to Mr. Confused's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don’t think it’s too late at all. Plus, military experience will likely be a bonus for you on nursing school applications. I’m going to be at minimum, 37 when I graduate. While I’m not the...

  6. Why wouldn't this cost of living hack work for California?

    Etak replied to myoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    I haven’t read all of the responses but of the ones I have, they ring true about the commute. The pass between NV/CA is regularly shut down in the winter, and even when it’s not, you can count on...

  7. Sacramento State Spring 2020

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

    Thank you! I know I need a 90 minimum on teas with my gpa as it is. I can apply in progress with my last class I need, so the healthy gpa is safe at this point. I just need to conquer the teas! I...

  8. Sac State Nursing Program Fall 2019

    Etak replied to Alicia24's topic in School, College Programs

    They JUST updated the website on the 29th and now it does say it’s simply if you did your prerequisites locally. I did all mine in Rocklin so I am good to go for those points! Now it’s all about...

  9. How is your overall TEAS score calculated?

    Etak replied to Etak's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you! I did find on their website that they use some sort of algorithm to calculate the final score and that you wouldn’t be able to on your own. ? At least I won’t waste anymore time...

  10. How is your overall TEAS score calculated?

    Etak posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hello! I’m am beginning to buckle down and aggressively study for my TEAS exam that I plan to take this summer. I have a question about how your score is determined. I understand that there are 4...

  11. Sac State Nursing Program Fall 2019

    Etak replied to Alicia24's topic in School, College Programs

    Congratulations!! I’m drooling over your teas score! Great job! can I ask about your points for environmental background? I’m looking to apply next semester. I feel like I remember awhile ago...

  12. Sac State Nursing Program Fall 2019

    Etak replied to Alicia24's topic in School, College Programs

    Even still, this is a huge feat in such a competitive area. Sincerely, congratulations of being such a good candidate. How does the waitlist at sac state work? Do you remain on the list in future...

  13. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    Etak replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don’t think it’s crazy at all! I don’t have medical experience either beyond having been a patient myself, and I am wrapping up the last of my prerequisites this fall. I’m not a squeamish...

  14. Going into nursing with no prior medical experience. Am I insane?

    Etak replied to Mmonroe2004's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love Doctor Pimple Popper! Also, I’m one of those freaks that loves watching ear wax removal on YouTube. I actually find it soothing!

  15. Sacramento State Spring 2020

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

    Right now I am a current Sierra College student and my main concern is acquiring the points to even have a chance (aren’t we all?) If everything goes according to plan, I’ll apply to transfer with...

  16. Moving California. Insight on pay scale etc?

    Etak replied to Nurse4lifeNC's topic in General Nursing

    All of this. Also gas prices are ridiculous and don’t forget there is literally a “poop patrol” in San Francisco paid to spend the day picking up human feces off the city streets. If it...

  17. Anatomy and Physiology II

    Etak replied to Louise101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this. At my CC, they do accept high school bio prereqs, but they only transfer as a C, even if you got an A in the HS course. Where I am it’s so impacted, a C is just not competitive enough...

  18. How do you study? Effective methods and suggestions!

    Etak replied to ajem27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, I try to make my study as interactive as possible. I take notes during lecture and always “rewrite” my notes into my notebook. I say “rewrite” because you won’t find any long...

  19. A&P Lab exam question

    Etak replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took anatomy and physiology in two separate classes, but the anatomy practicals were just what you described: 50 questions/100 points on mannequins, models, slides, or the cadaver, and a blank sheet...

  20. Pre-Nursing for CA student at community college

    Etak replied to JustKeepRiding's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! I hope I don’t come off as harsh, I’m just trying to be realistic. Here is a link to CSU Sacramento’s statistics for accepted applicants of spring 2019 (and prior). The average GPAs...

  21. Sierra College Fall 2019

    Etak replied to TacoTuesdays's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck to you!! I’m on track to apply fall 2020. Can’t wait! Good news from the nursing informational night, last year they only had 125 eligible applications in the lottery and all 10...

  22. Chemistry and Anatomy over summer break??

    Etak replied to kelseyhelton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, but no. I would not. Again, this is coming from someone that lives in an area that needs as close to a 4.0 as possible for a snowball’s chance. I was strong in Chem. I spent about 10 hours a...

  23. Straight A students..

    Etak replied to Delcon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Slow and steady wins the race. I have 5 kids, my youngest was 6 months old when I began prereqs, and I have a 4.0 so far. I’m half way through physio with an A+ so far, and only have micro to take...

  24. Childcare while in school

    Etak posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello all! I reaching out and hoping to start a brainstorming thread on what to do about after school care for children of nursing students. A tiny bit about me: I’m currently in Physio. Taking...

  25. Questioning my decision...

    Etak replied to CMerin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there! My school has a 1 unit course designed to introduce students to a variety of careers in healthcare. You take field trips to local hospitals and explore a lot of different careers for people...
