  1. Is anyone else still waiting to find out if they got accepted for Spring '07? I've been waiting for 2 months and the ranking list will be posted next Tuesday (Nov. 14) I am so nervous! All I can do is think about ways to make the rest of this week fl...
  2. How old is too old?

    I just started an ADN program in January and about 1/2 of the people in my class (90 students) are over 35.
  3. Does Anyone Use Student Loan $ For Childcare?

    My good friend just started our ADN program and she had to get a student loan to pay for daycare. She has a 2 year old and 9 month old that go to the campus daycare center 4 days a week.
  4. Congratulations Nora! I know what you mean about the paperwork... We had 4 days to get our paperwork in and we had a month to get our other stuff taken care of (physicals, immunization records, etc.)
  5. Thank you so much. That made my night. I had orientation yesterday and start school next week and I am feeling very overwhelmed! We already have a stack of assignments/reading...
  6. What brand / type of Stethoscope for Med/Surg?

    I start nursing school next week and my friend and I both bought the Littman Cadiology III from allheart.com. Steeles is very slightly cheaper, but all heart will personalize your tubing for $15 so we got our names put on our steths.
  7. Did anybody use Elaine Marieb for A&P I and II?

    For physiology we used the Marieb book. I don't remember what it was called. It was the most recent edition and it had a co-author (My physio teacher said that Marieb is probably getting ready to retire soon since she now has a co-author for the newe...
  8. School uniforms.. ugh..

    At our school we get to wear medium blue scrubs, in the brand of our choice. We also have to have a knee length white lab coat, which we get to when/if we want. And white shoes.
  9. happy new years pre-nursing students!!

    Happy New Year. At least you aren't the only one. I'm sick,too
  10. Meal preparation when you're working

    The recipezaar site is wonderful. I just checked it out and saved a lot of OAMC recipes so I'll be set when school starts in 2 weeks. Thanks! One of my favorite on-the-go lunches is the "Starkist Lunch-to-go Tuna and Crackers"
  11. TEAS testing/ATI

    I got accepted in to the nursing program starting in January and we also have to take the ATI before classes start. I'll be taking mine next Tuesday. I just assumed they wanted a baseline.
  12. Yeah, the last week was agonizing! Our school goes my a mathematical formula dealing with GPA, Anat-micro-physio GPA, Eng 1A GPA and you lose tons of points for repeating Anat, micro or physio. We all get assigned a percentage and there are 65 spots,...
  13. Our ADN (RN) program application period for Delta Community College, in Stockton CA was from Sept. 1 to Oct. 16. So I was there to wait in line an hour before the office opened on Sept. 1 and we found out on Nov. 15. So, those of us that turned our a...
  14. Spring '07 class, where were you accepted?

    Congratulations Ryan! I was wondering about you the other day...I'm glad to hear you made it in. I figured you would!
  15. Congratulations JaxiaKiley. I know you must be just as excited as the rest of us now!
  16. Turbohound, Yep. I go to SJDC. It sucks being out of district, huh? I had an 82%, but luckily I am in-district so I got in. I'm hoping you'll get in,too!
  17. Question about clinicals??

    At my school there are 9 sections for Nursing 1 and Nursing 2 and we get to choose which one we want. We can sign up at our designated registration date/time and whichever classes still have openings, we can sign up for. I have 2nd day registration s...
  18. Spring '07 class, where were you accepted?

    nurse2b_amy, Are you in the program already?
  19. Spring '07 class, where were you accepted?

    Ryan, I'm sure you'll get in! Mary Neville said that last time there were 5 out of district people that all had 91% and of course they all got accepted to schools closer to where they live so they didn't want their spots. So, since you're only #2 you...
  20. Spring '07 class, where were you accepted?

    I got accepted to Delta College in Stockton, CA. It's a Community College. Our semester starts on Jan. 16, but we have a breakfast and some other things to attend before then.
  21. Congratulations tntech1. I know how excited you must be!
  22. Congrats to everyone else who got in. My school posted the list on Wednesday afternoon and I GOT IN!! It was a nice birthday present. My school goes by a mathematical formula using total GPA, Eng 1A GPA, Anat,Micro,Physio combined GPA, and you lose l...
  23. Yay!!! Congratulations and good luck with the program! I'll be finding out on Tuesday...
  24. How does the Lottery work?

    That's the best thing to do, especially when you can't get in to see a counselor. I learned everything I needed to know at the informational meeting. Good Luck!! It sounds like you're headed in the right direction.
  25. How does the Lottery work?

    Yeah, I know how that goes...At my college we had 1 health science counselor and it was nearly impossible to get an appointment with him. Just be persistent and do well on your pre-reqs. Does your school have any informational meetings? I orginally m...
