  1. Took TEAS yesterday

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

    I got over 90% on the science and still guessed on that mountain question :) Chemistry, biology and physics... no problem, but random earth science that I haven't studied since 7th grade (if then) was...

  2. Teas Test

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

    For ARC you definitely need to make an appointment - I called today and the first they had available was next Thursday, so call soon. I'm pretty sure you need an appointment at SCC

  3. Advice on TEAS test results

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

    Well, it's unlikely to hurt you to take it again, especially if you feel that studying can improve your weak areas. Beyond that, it all depends on how competitive the program is. For example, you'd be...

  4. Anyone else apply to Sutter Extended Campus in Sacramento?

    benegesserit replied to FAworld's topic in California Nursing

    Yep, I got the CPR class taken care of. It went nice and quick because only four people showed up so we all got our own dummies. Now I just have to track down more

  5. Teas Test

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

    Are you willing to travel a bit? http://www.testing.csueastbay.edu/nursing/nursteasinfo.php shows a testing session on September 26 in

  6. Anyone else apply to Sutter Extended Campus in Sacramento?

    benegesserit replied to FAworld's topic in California Nursing

    I have a few years of volunteer clinical experience, which I mentioned in my essay, but I'm not sure whether or not that will count for anything since it isn't an actual job. I'm also applying for the...

  7. Nursing as a Second Degree

    benegesserit replied to cleo724's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Normal BSN programs will take 2-3 years after prerequisites depending on the program. Normal ASN programs will take 2 years. Prerequisites for a BSN program may take a semester longer than for ASN,...

  8. HOBET Exam Questions

    benegesserit replied to JRN1704's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't take testpreview.com too seriously. If you look at all the various pages they have previews for, most contain pretty much the exact same info. I don't know about the HOBET, but the...

  9. Anyone else apply to Sutter Extended Campus in Sacramento?

    benegesserit replied to FAworld's topic in California Nursing

    So does anyone know how many people ended up applying for Spring semester? The list was at about 150 at the time I turned in my application the Friday afternoon before the

  10. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    All the schools around here require CPR prior to starting the program. This particular one requires it prior to even applying, though - you have to include a photocopy of your card as part of the...

  11. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    Depends on where you're taking it, I guess. When I took CPR five years ago, it took them at least a week or two to mail the card (though I suspect it would have been possible to arrange something with...

  12. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    I take it you're applying to Sierra College, too? The random CPR class prior to application requirement is so annoying! If all goes right, the CPR class on the 22nd should get me the card in enough...

  13. Took TEAS yesterday

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

    The silly earth science questions were my worst part, too. It really depends on the program you're applying for. If it is competitive, and TEAS test score is part of the consideration, it will...

  14. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    I wouldn't have done both apps at once, except when I went to get my rush transcript from a previous college, they gave me all 4 copies I needed right then at no additional cost, so I had the...

  15. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    I just got two of my applications submitted - both early! One over a month early! I'm normally a total last minute person, so I'm proud of myself! For those applying for the Sacramento City College...

  16. Anatomy and Cadavers

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

    I wish we'd used cadavers instead of cats in Anatomy. I have a harder time with cats being involuntarily sacrificed for science/learning than with people who chose to donate their bodies to

  17. Online schooling vs. on campus schooling

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

    One of the schools I am (possibly) applying to for Spring is an online program through a local community college (classroom portion online, with clinicals and lab practice in-person). I'm also taking...

  18. Possibilities for a Minor?

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

    I agree with this. If you have other general education or unit requirements beyond the nursing program to complete, and a minor will fulfill these requirements, then you may as well get the minor...

  19. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    I got my counselor's appointment a few weeks ago. I'm rushing around on the transcripts, though (office copy of the official transcripts were sent long ago, but I procrastinated on my copies) and now...

  20. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    I'm also rushing around like a madwoman for the Sutter program! Your GPA and TEAS are slightly higher than mine. You should have a pretty good shot at Sac State based on their past enrollment...

  21. Can I be done in under 2 years?

    benegesserit replied to Jenrose15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably not. In general, the nursing content is spread out across the length of the program and can't be taken faster. Having GE credits done just means you don't have to take as many classes each...

  22. Community College programs in California

    benegesserit replied to justastudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's an acronym for California Articulation Number. http://www.cansystem.org/ has more info on

  23. Prerequisite Order A & P

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

    You can do them in either order. It's largely a matter of personal preference. I took physiology first, and did much better in it than I did in anatomy, so I'm glad I did it that way, but a lot of...

  24. Community College programs in California

    benegesserit replied to justastudent08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In general, yes. Some CSU schools may have some odd class that meets their prerequisite requirements but isn't transferable., but for the most part, it is standardized. Look at the course catalog - if...

  25. TEAS Test anyone?

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

    I found the math on the testpreview website to be harder than on the actual TEAS, so don't let it scare
