I recently applied to the nursing program during the November to January period and haven't heard anything back yet. Has anyone gotten any news?[h=1][/h]

Was there any diseases on the hesi? I'm taking it in a week and scared. Any more useful tips?

wait what? Is this news confirmed by the nursing department?

The average wait time is like a year I think. For me I'll probably get in Spring of 2019 so it will be 1 year and 3 months since I waited

Thank you Brenda, I probably have to email Deborah to see if I'm on the email list since I didn't get it.

I didn't get any email though

Yea I applied in the Nov-Jan period also and I think that I will start around Spring of 2019 because it seems like there are more people applying lately. Also did you start on your immunizations yet? or do wait till you get a letter telling you that ...

I don't think you can, the next application period is in September

Guys Catherine just responded to me and told me to talk to Deborah again........ I'm gonna lose all my brain cells at this rate

I don't think that there are that many people from the military or other prioritized sources that apply to the nursing program every quarter. Honestly, I think we might all start later than expected if things continue as they are.

I just emailed her right now, she will probably respond on Monday. I will update you guys on what she says. This has been a very frustrating experience hopefully it will get better.

I called the person in charge of the applications in early March and she told me that we would get our letter at the end of March but now it's almost the deadline for Spring applications and she still hasn't finished with winter applications...... sm...

They do not look at highschool GPA. Process is: you take your pre reqs at a community college or at a university which takes around 2 years then you apply to nursing school. You will then need to take the Hesi or Teas usually which is like an entranc...

The sjsu nursing program is super impacted. There is De Anza college that has an ADN program which is located in Cupertino. It does not a lottery style system instead it has a waitlist system, the average wait time to get in once your accepted is 3-4...

I used the pocket prep app for vocab, it's the purple one in the app store which is around $15. I also used quizlet to help me

I am an introvert and talking to strangers was difficult for me for the longest time. But taking a speech class helped and just by talking to strangers on a regular basis really helped build my confidence. Being scared to talk to strangers will hold ...

To be honest I don't think you will get in. For my ADN program they are VERY strict about the 75 or higher requirement. Your school might give you a third try to take the exam but I think you need to send in an appeal or something and they don't alwa...

Well my ADN program at my community college is only $5000 so it's not that bad, maybe yours will be around the same price range.

I also live in the Bay Area and have questioned myself if I am smart enough to get into nursing school. I have 3.2 GPA overall with 3.1 GPA in my science classes and we all know you need to get at least above a 3.5 GPA to be competitive in California...

oh that sucks, my program just requires you to get a 75 or higher on the Hesi and the chancellor's formula and then your admitted. None of these points based systems stuff. I am honestly so grateful for this because my GPA is a 3.2 and my Hesi score ...

I just found the test to be similar to the pocket prep not too hard and not too easy. I'm just say the pocket prep does help though. Goodluck!

Are the ADN programs in Socal all have lottery systems? Because this ADN program that I applied to, has a waitlist system so people can get into the program in a year or a year and a half. Instead of having people wait 3-5 years for the loterry syste...

@Annie Why don't you look into some ADN programs also? BSN programs are hard to get into mostly in Cali

For the Hesi's A&P section you need at least an A&P 1 class under your belt. For math, you need to be at least good with algebra, the exam has a lot of ratios and converting fractions into decimals or percentages. For Biology, they cover the ...

I suggest you talk to your school's nursing admissions office. For my school's ADN program, you can fail 3 times and take it again at another school and when you summit your transcript write a note that you want the admission people to look at your A...
