  1. Anyone in Sacramento area in Nursing Prgm?

    FAworld replied to tjtgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was so bummed when I realized the UCD timeline. My husband had brought me the article all excited. Oh well... I have a 6 and a 2 year old so I know what you mean about trying to read while doing a...

  2. Anyone in Sacramento area in Nursing Prgm?

    FAworld replied to tjtgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the article in the Bee mentioned (toward the end of the article) that the UCDavis PHD program would begin but the MSN and BSN would start in 2010 and

  3. Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    FAworld replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BA in Sociology from 1997. :) The university here factors in the last 30 units you took for the cum GPA, plus any prereqs. So if you did better toward the end of your college career,...

  4. Why don't nursing programs weigh exams equally with GPA?

    FAworld replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of the reasons why schools give weight to GPA is that it shows persistance (not quitting because a class is tough, annoying, a pain the butt, etc, etc) and adaptability. RNs have to adapt to...

  5. Any online Pharm and Pathophysio classes for ABSN at Samuel Merritt College?

    FAworld replied to icing9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking the same Patho as the poster above except I went through the Yuba college portal. I agree 100% with what they said - it is a self-study course and a lot of reading. Taking it over summer...

  6. Studying tips for Patho

    FAworld replied to tbrown1's topic in General Students

    Great thread! I'm starting Patho online this coming Sunday. Yikes! I have the McCance book and have started studying the first unit as it seems to be the basis for everything else that happens (it...

  7. Has anyone ever took medical terminology??

    FAworld replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking it online this summer. It's not required for my programs but I think it will be very helpful, especially as I have no healthcare experience. And I'm a word nut so I'm looking forward to...

  8. Who has kids?

    FAworld replied to blissfulee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 2.5 year old and a 6.5 year old. I've just finished my prereqs and am now waiting on electives (i.e. Pharm and patho) until I get into a program. I've done online and night classes to avoid...

  9. Sierra College Letters?

    FAworld replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I've been officially declined by their 'computerized random selection process' and they do not tell you where you are on the alternate list (they specificially say not to call). No surprise but...

  10. Summer Session Sign In

    FAworld replied to misserlizzer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm signed up for online Pathophysiology right now and might be adding online Stats. Although I'm not sure I can handle that course load over the summer and keep up my GPA so I'm still on the fence...

  11. Poll:What do you think was the hardest Pre-requisit (science) class so far?

    FAworld replied to missymarie26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school splits A&P into Anatomy in one semester and Physio in the other. I think Physio was the most difficult concept-wise and Micro was just as far as busy work - it wasn't difficult but we...

  12. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    FAworld replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry, Vicky. I'm in the same boat as you - waiting on the darn lottery and my 4.0 GPA means squat (and I'm sure there are those with healthcare experience who are deservedly angry that they also...

  13. Sierra College Letters?

    FAworld replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Patho online through Yuba - I just got in yesterday. I'm hoping to add Stats through Sierra (which is where I've taken all my other prereqs). I've got Pharm and Med Term lined up for...

  14. Sierra College Letters?

    FAworld replied to Lilme04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No letter yet for me, either. I had Micro in progress so I'm not holding my breath as far as getting in. They have said that starting next semester, they will no longer take "in progress" apps at...

  15. Tears Of Joy!!!!!! I Got In!!!!!!!!!

    FAworld replied to stpauligirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!

  16. ADN vs Accelerated BSN?

    FAworld replied to russiangirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going through the same dilemma myself especially as the ADN application is well before the ABSN (so if I got accepted at the ADN, I'd need to decide). I'm leaning more and more toward the ABSN...

  17. Once, Twice a Loser!

    FAworld replied to RNtugladimurnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree, an essay would at least broaden the perspective they are getting on the applicants. The whole process needs revamping. I always thought nursing was interesting but I really became involved...

  18. I'm done with prereqs!!!

    FAworld posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wooohoooo! I can't believe I'm finally done. I finished my cc prereqs but have decided to take on stats and the GRE so I can apply to the ABSN at my alma mater as a back up plan since our cc's use a...

  19. What school are you waiting for???

    FAworld replied to lovejana22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm waiting for Sierra College, a cc in

  20. I'm done with prereqs!!!

    FAworld replied to FAworld's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good to know about the GRE, Eric! And congrats to you, too, St.Pauli on finishing

  21. Once, Twice a Loser!

    FAworld replied to RNtugladimurnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Argh... the joys of nursing app. It kills me, too, that they won't let you go back and get at least your transcripts back as that is rather costly. With the availability of online classes now as well...

  22. Once, Twice a Loser!

    FAworld replied to RNtugladimurnurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do either of you know what the criteria is for the Sutter program. I know it used to be GPA first and then if a tie (say 2 candidates both with a 3.8) then they would go to paid healthcare experience...

  23. What do you feel is least relevant class?

    FAworld replied to oguesswhat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My B.A. is in Sociology and Intro to Soc really depends on the instructor and school. Sociology is much more interesting once you get past the general level and into concentrations. I guess so far...

  24. Microbiology

    FAworld replied to nurse2btracy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Intro to Micro was like this as well except I didn't love it. It was mostly general and only the last few weeks were medical. I would have LOVED to take a medical micro class instead. I agree...

  25. Who's Waiting 4 Fall 07 Acceptance?

    FAworld replied to michellesrndream's topic in California Nursing

    I'm waiting on my rejection letter from Sierra in Placer County. It's lottery based and I was in progress when applying so chances are about nill that I will get in but if you don't play the lottery,...
