It looks like I will be receiving my letters from one of these colleges soon. I prefer RCC since I live in Riverside, but I hear SBVC is an excellent program as well. I am so excited. Does anyone have any suggestions what else I can do to prepare for...

We have to take the ATI also and pass at 90% otherwise we remediate and must handwrite all of the remediated items missed from the focused review. We have to take it twice a semester in our last semester. But recently heard the third semester student...

You are right. I agree with you. That is why I encouraged the student not to given up, even if it means attending another school, transferring,etc. I wish you the best and hang in there be tough. Always know that when one door closes...another may op...

My friend is struggling in her program also. She had to take time off and has had to repeat a semester. Her fails are/were warranted. She came forward to discuss her weaknesses and strenghths. She has repeated her semester and I believe is back on tr...

Hi, I am too entering into my 4th semester. I am excited to learn more about critical care nursing. Best of luck to you this semester.

Hi, I know where you are at. I was there too, nearly passing. I went to the instructors for help. Also, at our school we have an exam assessment sheet that helps us and the instructors to identify the type of questions I have personally missed. There...

Esther, This is my first semester as well. I am too am spending many hours studying. Although I don't have my first test until this Tuesday, and our first week of clinicals are this Tuesday as well. I would be ESTATIC to pull a 'B'. It is hard and d...

Our lecture on Electrolyte, Fluid , and Acid-Base Balance is next week. Thank you so much for the information. I will call them so that they can hold a copy for me.Thanks again. Best of luck, I just finished my first week of nursing school and I have...

I start nursing school in Feb! Yeah. I am so excited. I was wondering if anyone: any other nursing schools were requested to submitt copies of their Social Security Number and their California Driver's License? When we asked the nursing dept they sta...

That's true, the hospitals and schools are indirectly our employers. Our school never advised us in advance so as we were turning in our paperwork, we were being advised to make copies. Many of us do not keep our SSN's with us. I understand and it's ...

I am sorry you have to go through that. It is too bad she has not approached the situation in a more professional way. I can understand about smelling smoke or concentrated perfume on a nurse. As a patient, I became nauseated from this nurse who appl...

At the college I attend, this girl's name first name is 'Baby Girl" . True it sounded so odd to hear professors call her by her name.

I am not too sure about Cal State San Bernardino being on the list. Maybe for the LVN-RN RN-BSN or the BSN-MSN programs only. But not for pre-nursing students..I heard the program is impacted and a friend of mine received a letter that she couldn't b...

I am happy to hear that I am not alone either. I , too, and several students turned in four students for cheating on the Bio Chem lab sheets. They acutally had a used lab book/manual with all of the correct answers for the experiments. They would be ...

That's a good idea, I am in. By the way, can anyone help me with an Organic Chemistry question? I can't seem to find the answer to : What sugar is formed upon the hydrolysis of starch and cellulose? I have looked all over the internet. Even various c...

Thank you for the encouragement. I have likewise heard horror stories and discouraging and upsetting stories about the first semester, first year,etc. I start school in January. I am currently taking an O-chem class and have sat around near the nursi...

I received a lot of comments from my former coworkers during and after I completed my A.S. and A.A. degrees. It seems they think since I spent so much time in school that I should be a nurse by now or have a master's degree. It is hard to work and go...

Wow! You think 26yrs old is too old to go back to school? I am 43, and still waiting to be accepted into a nursing program. I returned to school five years ago. I am proud of my accomplishments, and my previous job working for an airline, and the inv...

Hi, I was also looking at those shoes, too. I am a pre-nursing student, I will be starting in January!! wAH-HOO!! And, I was looking for a comfortable shoe. When I went on vacation this last summer with my boyfriend, we walked so much and both of ou...

I just finished my first week in Organic Chemistry. WOW. It sure is different from Inorganic Chemistry. I think it's interesting, I just need to keep up on the reading and figure a way to study the material and put it all together. So, I am definitel...

I took Intro to Organic/Bio but dropped it because of the instructor simply power pointed too quickly through the chapters. But mainly because the school had no tutors. So, I am will be trying to add the course at another college-another community co...

Thanks brefni! Good luck to you, too! And I do see my nursing career as a profession. I worked in a hospital for 2yrs in high school and volunteered in a convalescent home, too. So I understand what is involved,plus I have a cousin and two friends wh...

Hi, I agree with 4yrstogo(Lisa). It is a little unsettling to read that post, but I can understand where chrispicritah is coming from- I left my job with the airlines as a customer service agent after 19yrs! I did love my job, but many aspects of it ...

Here, in Southern California-San Bernardino County and Riverside County all the schools have a two year waitlist! I know I am on one of them and will be on most of them in August. I have my A.S. degree already so I am hoping it will bring me closer t...
