  1. Low GPA, High Pre Requisites

    coco1320 replied to LTC5314's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CSUSM looks only at your GPA in your last 60 units & prerequisites (along w/ TEAS score). Could be a great option for you! They have a 2nd campus in temecula too if thats closer to where you

  4. Advice needed about changing majors... I feel like I've made a mistake

    coco1320 replied to jss1985's topic in General Students

    I hesitate to say that it will be "easier" but I am currently taking organic chemistry for the second time (I got Cs in both classes the first time I took them 8-9 yrs ago). The first time I took it...

  5. No immunity after Hep B immunization?

    coco1320 replied to chernandez3841's topic in General Students

    I had a similar thing happen to me and was told that its actually quite common. Just get the titers done relatively soon after you finish the series and you will be good to go! Apparently many people...

    coco1320 replied to astoecker's topic in School, College Programs

    The quickest way to find out is thru MyCSUSM. They send emails out but its a few days after the status is updated on your

  7. Is 2-3 weeks enough time to study and take the TEAS exam?

    coco1320 replied to jss1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only studied 3 weeks, but if I'm being honest I'm a good standardized test taker and I also had A&P very fresh in my mind at the time. Take the ATI practice tests on their website and let those...

  8. Tablet for school??

    coco1320 replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Students

    I've been resistant to ebooks for years because I hate reading on the computer too and felt like I learned better reading a physical book, but I recently recently bought an etextbook for the first...

  9. Can I Be a Nurse?

    coco1320 replied to Elllauxj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would encourage you to reach out to your local community college and meet with an academic counselor who can guide you on this path. Not having basic math skills definitely will be a hurdle to...

  10. ABSN Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) Spring 2020

    coco1320 replied to astoecker's topic in School, College Programs

    I plan to work but my work schedule is also not flexible. I'm taking a CNA class starting in October, so I'm hoping I can land a flexible CNA job and quit my current

    coco1320 replied to astoecker's topic in School, College Programs

    In the table that shows that your application is complete it show which term you applied for. So, mine has two rows, one for Fall 2019 and one for Spring 2020. Fall 2019 says "student withdrew...

  12. Hep B vaccine requirement.

    coco1320 replied to Bnc1992's topic in General Students

    I recently had hep B titers done and they came back negative despite having had the series about 15 years ago. I asked one of the techs if this was common and he told me yes, the vaccine unfortunately...

  13. Least impacted community college RN programs

    coco1320 replied to brunosabray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Humboldt State in Arcata and College of the Redwoods in Eureka both have nursing programs. No idea if they are impacted (grew up in the area but no longer live there) but I would guess

  14. Student externship in ICU requires prior experience?

    coco1320 posted a topic in General Students

    A student nurse externship I plan on applying to lists the requirement that to be considered for the ICU, applicants "must have prior ICU coursework and experience." I really want to be eligible to...

  15. Why is there a 7 year limit on prerequisites for nursing?

    coco1320 replied to mdwatkins13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You find it unethical that the school wants you to be well prepared for their program? And I fail to see how its "money hungry" considering nearly all students returning to school take their prereqs...

  16. Student externship in ICU requires prior experience?

    coco1320 replied to coco1320's topic in General Students

    @MotoMonkey Thanks for the insight! I appreciate

    coco1320 replied to astoecker's topic in School, College Programs

    @paigeyy_waigeyy I'd definitely recommend submitting transcripts as soon as you're able to! You never know what kind of delays you could run into. Good luck on your TEAS

  19. Student externship in ICU requires prior experience?

    coco1320 replied to coco1320's topic in General Students

    @gere7404 Thank you! I figured it must be something along those lines, but since we do not get to have input in our rotation placements I guess it will just be luck of the

  20. Student externship in ICU requires prior experience?

    coco1320 replied to coco1320's topic in General Students

    @Rose_Queen Yeah, by the time I'll be eligible I will have taken classes that cover some aspects of critical care, but my program doesn't offer a course that focuses solely on critical care so I'm not...

  21. Should I take Biology and Microbiology in the same semester?

    coco1320 replied to Guest 1123075's topic in General Students

    Shouldn't bio be a prereq for taking micro? If you have never taken a biology class before, you may struggle in micro since you don't have any background knowledge of the

  22. Do most ABSN programs require extracurriculars and letters of recommendation?

    coco1320 replied to Jenn23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None that I applied to required letters either, but every school is different. The school I chose to attend based their decisions purely off of GPA and TEAS scores, but another that I was accepted to...

  23. Can I take Pre-Reqs for ABSN programs anywhere? at a community college?

    coco1320 replied to Jenn23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is not true in my experience. I also graduated 6 years ago and had plenty of public/state school options. Maybe it varies by region but I found very few schools here in CA that had recency...

  24. Does it matter where you get your ABSN degree from? What about online vs in-person programs?

    coco1320 replied to Jake355's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @verene this is perfectly

  25. How many schools should I apply for the ABSN program? Should I apply out of state?

    coco1320 replied to Jake355's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do the schools you're interested in publish average stats for accepted students? If so, how do your stats stack up? 3.8 is a good GPA, so if the school you're applying to has an average of say 3.5 for...
