   CloCloAA replied to acceleratednurse's topic in California

   I live in CA and I'm finishing my prereqs at my local CC. I was just accepted into "University of Nebraska Medical Center - Omaha, College of Nursing" for Fall 2023. Please clarify.... you took the NCLEX in CA or NE? I want to work in CA after ...

   CloCloAA replied to harukachow's topic in School Programs

   which classes count for the Sci GPA and which for the GE GPA? I can't find it.

3. California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) San Marcos Fall 2023 Admissions

   CloCloAA replied to PSPS13's topic in California

   I will apply for Fall 2024, but I was looking at the point system and it's not in my favor. I took 3 yrs of Spanish in HS but that doesn't count for the language proficiency points, I don't get the residency points, and I took the 4 science courses o...

4. CSULB Nursing Program Fall 2023

   CloCloAA replied to harukachow's topic in School Programs

   for LB they don't have a point system? They only use the impaction score formula (Science GPA) + (Gen ED GPA/2) + (TEAS Overall x .02) + (TEAS Reading x .02)? No extra points for healthcare experience, bilingual, or being local, etc. ? (to get invit...

   CloCloAA replied to CloCloAA's topic in School Programs

   Congratulations to everyone who got in. I got a rejection email. I wish I had had more time to take the TEAS a 2nd time. Overall GPA: 3.9 Science GPA: 4.0 TEAS: 80% Work experience: 700+ hours as CNA in a hospital

   Congratulations! Do you mind sharing your stats?

7. CSULA Transfer BSN Fall 2023

   CloCloAA replied to CloCloAA's topic in School Programs

   Yes, mine still says "incomplete". I wonder if that means I'm not accepted.

8. Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

   CloCloAA replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I misspoke the details are a bit foggy because it was a year ago that I was figuring this out. The Chem class at PCC would be accepted by CSULA but not CSUF or CSULB. I could have taken Chem 2A and 2B at PCC for CUSLB, but why take two when I can tak...

9. Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

   CloCloAA replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Be very careful choosing the Chem class. I had to take it at a different CC than the one I'm attending because I wanted it to be accepted at all the CSUs that I might apply to (and my CC doesn't offer it), as well as CCs. CSUF and CSULB wanted a diff...

10. CSULA Transfer BSN Fall 2023

    CloCloAA replied to CloCloAA's topic in School Programs

    I found out from an Honors College representative at CSULA that you must apply for Honors at the time of applying to the university. You can't wait until after you learn if you've been accepted into the BSN program.

11. Is "Honors College" a good idea?

    CloCloAA posted a topic in School Programs

    Does anyone have experience with being in the Honors College at any university as a BSN student? Is it worth all of the extra work (extra classes, thesis, etc.) to have that designation on my transcript? I was told it could help me get scholarsh...

12. CSULA Transfer BSN Fall 2023

    CloCloAA replied to CloCloAA's topic in School Programs

    I also got the email invitation for the honors college. I'm wondering the same thing. I'm even wondering if it even benefits BSN students to be in the honors college? At my CC it wasn't recommended to take honors courses because it didn't help in any...

13. Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    CloCloAA replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I studied about 2 hours each day, five days/week and didn’t miss a class or lab.

14. Taking Chem In The Summer, A Bad Idea?

    CloCloAA replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took Chemistry last Summer. It was 5 weeks and I got an A. I opted to take it all "in-person" because I didn't think I could do well in hybrid. I don't have kids and I live at home with my parents. I took those 5 weeks off from my part-time job. It...

15. Help choosing best reference for application

    CloCloAA posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I need to provide two references for my application. I can use my Physiology professor for one. I've been working as a CNA (float pool) at a hospital for 8 months, but because it's a huge hospital and I'm a floater, there's not really one superv...
