I bought the manual and practice test from the AIT website. I thought the manual was helpful. I practiced a lot of the math since it had been years since I had taken math. I think I studied for about a week straight before the test.

Don't get discouraged. My number last year around this time was 188 and by January I was 67. When orientation came in May, I was number 27! A lot of people end up dropping off the list. I recommend that you take the TEAS, if you haven't already done...

Can I ask you what military grant you're referring to? My husband is also in the military but I am not aware of any grants. Thanks!

Congrats SDMamma! I just sent my letter to tell them I wasn't attending.. I wonder if they gave you my spot :)

The average waiting list for San Diego community colleges is 2-3 yrs. If you want an ADN, you will have to complete general education requirements for the degree. I recommend that you speak to school counselors to asses the courses you have taken. Y...

I'm so sorry to hear that you didn't get in for the Spring. You never though. There are a lot of people on multiple lists. I know two other people at school who are still on the list at Grossmont. I know it's silly to be in the list after we're alrea...

I don't think Southwestern is competitive. I think that it just takes so long because they accept students once a year. Sadly, we have no say in clinicals. Names are randomly drawn.

January 2006. I was accepted for this Fall but I went to City instead. I kept my name on the list-just in case

I'm already in nursing school so that will be just one more open spot available for someone else :)

I received an email today that I had been accepted for Spring 2009. So you guys should be hearing from them soon, if you haven't already done so! Good luck!!! :)

I'm not 100% sure but I thought that for marijuana, that it could only be detected 3 months back. I seriously doubt that it can be detected 2 or 3 yrs back. Google it, I'm sure you can find the answer there. Good luck!

I'm a first year student at SD City College. The program has its pros and cons. I think the administration is a bit unorganized but overall, I'm happy there. The majority of instructors are great and very helpful. They really want everyone to pass an...

Hi, It's my first year at City College. I waited 2.5 years to get in. You have to pass the TEAS test and once your number comes up, you're in. Make sure you have all of your other General Ed completed before you start the program. The program is spl...

We had our orientation today and there is another one on Friday for students entering this Fall. They invited 80 students although they are only admitting 60 students. I guess 18 students went to different schools last year after orientation so they ...

From what I recall, my math portion consisted of percentages, ratios, and fractions. I think I had one graph question and several word problems. I used the study guide available on the ATI website and also found this website useful: http://www.tes...

I felt I did well on the TEAS by using the study guide offered on the ATI website. Yes, you have to take Micro and A&P pre-reqs for City and all other nursing programs.

That is one thing that I did not like about Grossmont. They wouldn't tell me anything about my placement on the waiting list. They do not update their lists at all like other schools do. If they did, I'm sure they would have a better idea of when stu...

They lost their National League for Nursing Accreditation. The handbook says it was valid through June 2007 and that they are reapplying for Fall 2008. I found an old article from the Union-Tribune: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/education/200612...

sdmommie- I thought you had started this Spring?? Or am I confusing you with someone else?

I took it this January.

Oh no! Maybe they aren't offering it the upcoming semester. You can't go for the day program? I hope it works out for you!

I just received my acceptance email with a letter to follow up for Grossmont! Anyone else? Now I have to choose between SD City or Grossmont :) I'm so happy that after waiting since Jan 2006, I will finally be starting nursing school!

Hi, Here is a list of schools for CA. http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/rnprograms.shtml#bsn Good luck!

I received one last week, too. I already took the TEAS so I'm waiting to hear from them after May 1st. I have been waiting (and waiting) since Jan 2006. The passing score for the TEAS is 67%. The information is on the student handbook, which can be...

The vaccines can be expensive. I'd enroll in a easy class like kinisiology at a community college and just get them there. My doctor was going to charge $500 for the Hep B series but I only paid $90 (for all 3) at Saddleback College. You will have to...
