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

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

    Did you miss the fact that I said I stopped partially out of concern for other students, or are you ignoring it? The classes in question were in a large lecture hall where I sat on the side or in the...

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

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

    *Shrug* it worked for me. I was definitely paying attention, and I got excellent grades in those classes (and managed to take copious notes in addition to the

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

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

    I've had several years of volunteer experience (mentioned in my essay), but nothing paid, so I don't know how that fits into the

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

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

    Different people have different learning styles. Some of us get distracted easily, and doing something with our hands keeps the internal monologue (or SMS distractions) from taking over and allows us...

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

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

    This was my first semester! I'm thrilled I did well enough to get into the Sutter program, because I can't quite see being lucky enough to get picked in one of the lotteries my first time, and the...

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

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

    cmonkey - I used to sew (small projects, not big things!) during class for the same reason. It really did help me stay focused. I stopped partially because I had a hard time getting around to cutting...

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

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

    I got my acceptance to the Sutter program yesterday! The response is due very quickly, so acceptance letters should be received in the next few days. I wouldn't expect any of the others until...

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

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

    What I love is the students who walk in 10 minutes late on a regular basis... carrying an obviously fresh drink from some establishment that takes a while to make drinks (Starbucks, etc.). The main...

  9. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    benegesserit replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got the big envelope today! I got into my first choice

  10. Pharmacology at Yuba College

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

    I'm in the class now :) Just looking to communicate with another current student. Thanks

  11. Pharmacology at Yuba College

    benegesserit posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is anyone here currently taking Pharmacology online through Yuba College? If so, could you please PM me (or respond here if you can't

  12. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    benegesserit replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I *was* doing a pretty good job of keeping anxiety/eagerness in check. Now we've reached the point where they may be sending out letters for my first choice program. Sometime within the next 3ish...

  13. Which order should I take my science classes?

    benegesserit replied to jnguyen115's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the people who say to only take one science class at a time to maximize your chances of success unless you really need to get through as fast as possible. Chemistry first is ideal. A...

  14. Do SAT scores matter for nursing school?

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

    It varies by school. I think most programs that require you to complete prerequisites before entering the program don't require SAT or ACT scores. However, those programs that admit students directly...

  15. Recent TEAS Test Takers!!! I need you!

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

    If you take the computerized version, don't skip questions! If you don't know the answer pretty quickly, give your best guess (even if it's completely random, though you should try to eliminate any...

  16. worried net score

    benegesserit replied to dominicangirl1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I can tell from the nursing school entrance exam study guides I've looked at, the NET has an unusually difficult reading section. I was getting in the 75% range for reading on the practice...

  17. tired of waiting on acceptance letter!!!

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

    I just had my first nightmare about being rejected. For utterly stupid reasons, too. They were going down the list rejecting people on the basis of unprofessional email address, age, and things like...

  18. Spring 2009 Classes

    benegesserit replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. And not even just for advanced practice - getting a C (or even a B) or having to repeat a class due to a low grade may exclude you from competitive RN programs. Better to take it slow unless...

  19. Spring 2009 Classes

    benegesserit replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I don't get into a nursing program... Organic Chemistry (my only remaining prerequisite for BSN programs) Maybe some other random class if it helps with financial aid or qualifying for a campus job...

  20. SAT/ACT scores for nursing school??

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

    One ADN school I looked at required an ACT score, but none of the others have. All the schools around here require a nursing-specific entrance test like the TEAS (this was made state law here in...

  21. Seriously?!

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

    Yep, that's crazy! None of the schools around here require proof of high school graduation for people with an AA or higher. One did require high school transcripts if we took beginning algebra in high...

  22. tired of waiting on acceptance letter!!!

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

    The application deadline for several of my schools hasn't even passed yet! The earliest I'll hear from the earliest school is the end of October, and possibly not till

  24. Suggested Study Habits

    benegesserit replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oops, yes, meant to make that point and forgot. We had 60 muscles, too. Memorizing the big bones/muscles/etc. would, IMO, be a good thing to get a head start on. That particular test was by far the...

  25. Suggested Study Habits

    benegesserit replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read over the whole thing (even just the chapter summaries). Don't try to learn it in depth, but try to get an idea of the bigger picture of how everything fits together. In the beginning, when you...
