YEA!!! Congratulations! So, your orientation was today? Did they give you guys your schedule yet or anything?

Hi! I think I read your posts in the CA forum. You were accepted at CSULB, right? Congratulations! I'm in the trimester program there. So, about the Dove uniforms, everyone pretty much wears the zip-top. One girl in my clinical group had the TL...

I'm starting a BSN program August 28th, but I will be finished in 2008. It's a trimester program so it only takes two years instead of three. Of course that means that this is my last official summer break EVER! I'm trying to make the most of it.

Hi! I went to both Fullerton College and Cypress College, so I am well aware that the anatomy classes are always full. But, I was able to add the class at both schools even though I had a late registration date. Unfortunately, I had to drop the cl...

Thank You!!! I'm so excited, but a little nervous too! As far as the pre-reqs and stuff, I have a 4.0 GPA. CSULB looks at your science pre-req GPA, non-science pre-req GPA, and TEAS score. I had one class in progress (Intro. Organic and Biochem.)...

Hi! I was just accepted into the BSN program at CSULB for Fall 2006! At orientation I chose to enter the trimester program, which the majority of theother students did as well. I'm sorry but I really can't give any input on the program as of yet, ...

I had to take Anatomy and Physiology separately. I actually found Physiology more difficult. Anatomy seems to be just A LOT of memorization, while Physiology is . . . I guess, more conceptual. Does that make sense? In Anatomy I think you can see ...

I loved Microbiology!!! I know, I'm a bit of a geek, but I really enjoyed it. It helps that I had an awesome teacher that was really passionate about Microbiology. I know that it sounds weird to be passionate about Micro., but it made the class mo...

Four weeks left here, plus a week of finals! I can't wait for this semester to be over! Right now I'm taking the last of my general education classes and the last prereq fore nursing, Intro. Organic and Biochemistry (yuck!). I'm still waiting on m...

I agree with Marci. If you do well in science, then taking A&P your first year shouldn't be a problem. For a lot of the freshmen in my class A&P was their first college science class, so they struggled at first. Once you figure out how to ...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so exciting! GOOD LUCK this fall! Maybe my letter will come early too . . . Fingers Crossed!

I'm still waiting too . . . patiently (yeah, right). I won't find out anything until the fourth week of April and the wait is killing me!!! My only Plan B is to reapply for Spring 07. I applied for a BSN program, so I really do not have any other ...

I applied for CSULB! I just found out that I was accepted into the school, so I'll be transfering there in the fall. I also applied to the nursing program, but I won't find out about that until the end of April. I actually had to withdraw from CSU...

When did this happen??? I applied for the Basic BSN Program at CSULB, but I know several people who have applied for the Accelerated BSN Program. I can't believe that they would make this huge announcement in the middle of the application process. ...

Congratulations!!! That is so exciting! I can't believe you applied in September and had to wait this long. I would have gone crazy! I applied in February and won't find out until the fourth week of April and I am already going crazy! It's great...

I live in Southern California and just finished all of my prerequisites last semester. When I first started taking classes I thought that I would just apply to my community college's nursing program, but . . . it turns out that it has a 2-year wait ...

You should definately go! It is so interesting. My Anatomy professor gave us extra credit to go to the exhibit when it was in Southern California. Unfortunately I went with some friends on the last weekend of the exhibit. The museum kept the exhi...

Keely, It sounds to me like you really know your stuff (you studied way more than I ever have) but you just had major test anxiety, which I'm sure everyone has experienced. Just keep in mind that this was only the first test and a lot of people usua...

I have a quick question, even though I won't be opening The Envelope until the fourth week of April. Is it anything like college admissions envelopes? You know, big envelope pretty much means yes, small envelope pretty much means no? I'm just tryi...

You're so lucky! There are so many more ADN-BSN Programs than just BSN programs. I'm not sure what school you were looking into but Long Beach State's RN Pathway Program would have you apply by March 15 for Fall admission. Which I guess would mean ...

Hey! I just finished all of my prerequisites in Fall 2005 and I am now applying to several different nursing programs. First of all, yes, you will probably be able to finish a BSN in the same amount of time you ADN program. Almost all of the ADN pr...

Hey Everyone! My test results finally came in this morning. My score was 88.8%. It's in the 99th percentile nationally, and in the 98th percentile for my program, so I hope that's good enough to get in. My school awards 4 points for GPA (science p...

Traci, I'm not speaking for anyone else, but I didn't take your comment as you being insensitve. I'm only soooooo jealous! I haven't been able to check my results on the TEAS yet. We had to take our tests on scantrons, then the schools faxes them...

i loved my speech class!!! i took public speaking this past fall and easily earned an a. i couldn't agree more with stpauligirl in that the key to get through public speaking is with a great teacher. ask around at your school and get recommendatio...

Traci, You got your results already??? How cool is that? I just took mine this morning too. I think that I did okay, or at least I hope I did okay. I won't get my results until 5 pm today at the earliest, or 5 pm on Monday at the latest, but I'll...
