    I took Nutrition and Sociology at DVC. I tried to take my sciences there, but I could never get in. If you have trouble getting itno the classes as well, you should try Merritt Community College in...

  2. Net Exam!!!

    MarathonGirl replied to TaritaRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I scored a 94 composite (86 reading and 100 math I think). I also found the reading quite tricky. I studied a ton for it (from the online sample test and the practice book - both from ERI) and I still...

    Hi Rianna - they sent out confirmation emails that they received the applications back in Nov. or Dec.-- to the absn applicants, for at least the Oakland location (don't know about the others). I did...

    MarathonGirl replied to davisgirl9's topic in General Students

    I also applied to SMC for the ELMSN program. I think for the FNP track they have about 250 applications for about 25 slots, but I would guess they let in at least 50 if not closer to 75. But I think...

  15. Anyone applying to SFSU/Canada College BSN?

    MarathonGirl replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems they highly favor people who live, work and go to school in the south

  16. **FREAKING out*** SFSU/Canada BSN program

    MarathonGirl replied to jewelsg627's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't apply to sfsu, just smc. You could apply to Samuel Merritt, and see if you get in, and if do get in, you could *then* take those two extra classes. Or if you apply to the direct entry masters...

    MarathonGirl replied to weglovers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you mean? Do you mean how do you find more nursing schools in your area? I would just apply to your current school's program, since you like it. Unless you think there is a good chance you...

  19. Happy trails, anyone? Hiking question...

    MarathonGirl replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in California Nursing

    The best hike ever is the Dipsea trail. It goes from Muir Woods (there are several places you can start) down to Stinson Beach. It is incredibly scenic. Unbelievable. But it is a hike. Only attempt it...

  20. Life and jobs in San Francisco

    MarathonGirl replied to krazykev's topic in California Nursing

    SF is AWESOME! People walk places, we hike, we bike, we run, we eat organic and we have beautiful weather. We are close to the beach and the snow, everything is beautiful. Just don't live in Fremont....

  21. **FREAKING out*** SFSU/Canada BSN program

    MarathonGirl replied to jewelsg627's topic in California Nursing

    I think sfsu (that's San Francisco State, right?) is very competitive. Have you thought about Samuel Merritt's direct entry or accelerated bachelor's program? You sound like a good fit and would...

  22. Financing your education

    MarathonGirl replied to newbeginnings07's topic in General Nursing

    We're paying cash for it. I know that isn't the answer you're looking for, but I think that is what we are going to do. I'm applying to a 3-year program that costs about $100K, but we have savings and...

    MarathonGirl replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you are doing fine financially, you need to hire a babysitter, to come in at least twice a week for four hours each time so that you can focus on *yourself*. You have been through a lot....
