  1. about how much did your 1st semester cost

    benegesserit replied to able2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Approximate breakdown of costs from my program for the first semester: Tuition: $20/unit * 10.5 units = $210/semester (CC cost in California) Books: $1900 new (I don't know if that's for the whole...

  2. Poor economy = less applicants?

    benegesserit replied to missmj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some California community colleges have waitlists, but many don't. The university (CSU) programs are all

  3. I really need some advice bad

    benegesserit replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry! Most schools will let you take the TEAS more than once. Sometimes no more than twice, but just once seems really harsh, since a bad night of sleep, having a cold, or some other temporary...

  4. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the ARC program has 60 spots, but it could be

  5. Poor economy = less applicants?

    benegesserit replied to missmj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Around here, there were considerably more applicants for spring semester than there have been in the past. However, we have an increasing backlog of people who have applied multiple times and not got...

  6. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it turns out I did receive my Sac City rejection letter a few days ago, but, at risk of sounding like a total cliche, the dog ate it! My husband told me just now when I mentioned that ARC had...

  7. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would have been taking it at Woodland, but I got into a program for spring, so I'll be taking it sometime in the future when I decide to go for my

  8. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope, I haven't taken ochem yet. That was my backup plan if I didn't get in this

  9. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! You'll have to tell us how the whole online thing goes. I'm starting to get a little concerned that I haven't heard anything from SCC, ARC, or Sierra given that everyone else seems to...

  10. why are you considering nursing school?

    benegesserit replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find a way to do both if you want, especially if you have time off before getting into a nursing program. As others have mentioned, be aware of the financial aid constraints, but beyond that it...

  11. Soon finishing Highschool

    benegesserit replied to Mark42g's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ZAR963 pretty much covered everything I was going to say, so I won't repeat it. Ignore the people who make fun - you sound like you have a more realistic view of the world than they do. I went to a UC...

  12. One of 45! Yippee!

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

    Congratulations! College of the Redwoods was one I was considering if I didn't get into a program here in Sacramento. Now I'm glad I didn't have to worry about it, if you're getting your acceptance...

  13. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If any of you are on the Yuba College waitlist, I"ve been told that they are working on files for #1-350, and that numbers over 350 will most likely be contacted after Fall 2009. It sounds like...

  14. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    benegesserit replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school says specifically that they will not contact students in classes. I can't say for 100% sure that they wouldn't in a true emergency - it's a relatively small campus, so there's an amount of...

  15. dissecting cats

    benegesserit replied to tessa45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same here, both for the moral and educational reasons. It's not the fact that the cats are dead that bothers me, but the fact that they were killed (and possibly bred) specifically to be dissected by...

  16. Question about the TEAS

    benegesserit replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math through beginning algebra and English, especially if either is a particular weakness. The science section is broad, but doesn't go into much depth into any one subject. An intro biology course...

  17. advice on trying to get into nursing with a low gpa

    benegesserit replied to jimbojonesey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Exactly. Some colleges look at total GPA. You may not be able to get into these programs. but others only look at prerequisite and/or recent coursework, and you stand as good a chance as anyone else...

  18. advice on trying to get into nursing with a low gpa

    benegesserit replied to jimbojonesey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it! And don't feel bad - there are a lot of us in the same boat. I'm also in Northern California. My first experience with college left me with a very low GPA. I was just accepted to a...

  19. What does your school require?

    benegesserit replied to back2thebooks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I chose to take patho and pharmacology, even though I didn't anticipate needing them, because I needed some classes to maintain full time status while applying, and figured that having a first...

  20. What does your school require?

    benegesserit replied to back2thebooks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school I am attending for my prereqs requires pharma and patho before entering the nursing program (since they have a multi-year waitlist, this seems a reasonable approach to me). The school I...

  21. How different is Biology from the other nursing prereqs?

    benegesserit replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had some really negative experiences with science in high school, and had been doing my best to avoid science classes before I decided to try for nursing, so I was pretty worried about how I'd do on...

  22. How different is Biology from the other nursing prereqs?

    benegesserit replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    General biology is pretty much going to be the same as the biology you've had before, giving a broad view of everything biology-related. You'll either have to suck it up and deal with it or find a...

  23. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    benegesserit replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not nearly as bad as that, but about a month ago, a guy in my speech class got up to give his speech... and spit in the trash can in front of the room before doing

  24. Am I doing the right thing?

    benegesserit replied to kerkins08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cal State nursing programs are just fine. I've never heard of the private programs being considerably

  25. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    benegesserit replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that they'll probably send out at least one more round of acceptances because not everyone in the first round is going to say yes or get back to them in time. And even of those who do say...
