  1. TEAS test...what's your experience?

    benegesserit replied to curliegirl80RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! Unfortunately, it seems that most of the programs I'm applying to for spring don't actually take the TEAS score into account as long as you pass, so I'm not sure it's going to help. But it did...

  2. Is it better to take microbiology after anatomy and physiology?

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

    I agree - there's no harm to taking Micro first if your school allows it. I took Physio before Anatomy, and I'm very glad I did it that way, because I found it much easier and I'm not sure I'd have...

  3. Teas test question

    benegesserit replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in the Sacramento area too, and will be applying for a bunch of the same programs. Good luck! Don't worry about the time you haven't been studying. Just do it now! Do lots of practice tests,...

  4. TEAS test...what's your experience?

    benegesserit replied to curliegirl80RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've taken the test already, but I'll respond anyways since I'm sure others who haven't are still looking! I got 93.5% composite (99% nationwide/program). I didn't use the ATI study guide - I used a...

  5. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    benegesserit replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't say there's a taboo against sharing, more that it's very much respected as an individual choice whether to share or not. A teacher telling students not to compare their scores would make me...

  6. Scared, Disappointed, Stressed. Very long but I need some advice.

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

    I had a bad start at college straight out of high school, too. I didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life, and really just needed a break from school after a tough time in high school. I...

  7. Anyone in Sacramento area in Nursing Prgm?

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

    Just so you know, Yuba College is no longer accepting everyone who meets the minimum requirements. What I was told by the counselor is that they are accepting 15 local and 15 non-local residents per...

  8. Anyone ever feel like giving up?

    benegesserit replied to Aquarius30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in your area (as you've probably gathered), and haven't applied anywhere yet, so I'm still in the willfully ignoring everyone else's expereriences optimistic stage. As me again this time next...

  9. Goal Statement

    benegesserit replied to Nurse2be2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm wondering if you might not get somewhere by being honest and genuine. The admissions committee is going to be seeing a lot of variations on "I've wanted to be a nurse all my life" or "I had an...

  10. Yuba City anyone? Anyone?

    benegesserit replied to Aquarius30's topic in California Nursing

    If you're already on the Yuba waiting list, I don't think the new point system effects you, though the prerequisite changes and need for a passing score on the admissions test

  11. Confused about how to proceed

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

    I'm in CA, and finding this to be true. (CA doesn't actually have a lottery program, but some schools do. Of the schools within commuting distance of me, 2 are lottery, 4 are GPA based, and 3 are...

  12. Help me from getting discouraged- need advice from bay area nurses/students

    benegesserit replied to kaya767's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know if you're still checking this thread... but remember, now you have at least one advantage - you know exactly how competitive things are! A lot of your classmates won't realize this, and...

  13. Fall 09 hopefuls?

    benegesserit replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I don't get in for Spring 2009, I'll be applying to several California universities for Fall 2009, and don't expect to have a problem getting in there as long as I don't screw up Organic Chemistry...

  14. Textbooks editions.. the infamous problem.

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

    Buy older editions if you can get them for very low cost. If it does turn out you absolutely need a new edition of one of them, you'll still have saved money over buying them all new. That's my...

  15. bad idea?

    benegesserit replied to future nicu nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When it comes down to it - only you can decide what is too much. Some people manage great with heavy schedules, plus work full time at the same time (The guy who got the top grade in my physio class...

  16. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    Good luck :) One of the programs I'm applying to is similar - they have some in-person practice labs and, of course, clinicals, but the rest is all online. I'm not entirely sure I like the idea, based...

  17. Do you need a Laptop?

    benegesserit replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, I'm a geek. Tech support and system administration in my previous life. Is something wrong with that? That said, I write papers, do powerpoint, manage my online classes, and do pretty much...

  18. yuba college Aug. 2008

    benegesserit replied to hollie91999's topic in California Nursing

    Yuba College has had recent changes to admissions. What I was told by a counselor is that they are now accepting 30 students per semester to the waitlist - the 15 people from local and out of area...

  19. I got my NET scores

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

    I was using the Kaplan nursing school admissions test guide to study for the TEAS, and the reading comprehension questions in it were totally hard. I'm wondering if it was based on the NET? If so, I...

  20. Yuba City anyone? Anyone?

    benegesserit replied to Aquarius30's topic in California Nursing

    Yuba College for RN? :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead: Probably not worth applying right now unless you're local with good grades and want a...

  21. Do you need a Laptop?

    benegesserit replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an Asus EEE for this purpose, and it's worked great for all my pre-nursing needs. I have no major problems with the idea of a required laptop, or even requiring a specific laptop pre-loaded...

  22. GPA questoin

    benegesserit replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school (and, I think, most of the community colleges around here) there are no pluses or minuses. 90-100 is an A/4.0, 80-89.9 is a B/3.0, etc. I suppose it all evens out in the

  23. Confused about how to proceed

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

    It depends largely on which prerequisites you have completed, if any.Around my parts, they have an accelerated BSN program for people who already have an undergrad degree. The nursing content is one...

  24. Debinding books?

    benegesserit replied to Golden_Clover's topic in General Students

    This is a terrific idea :) I'm currently bike commuting as often as possible, which makes it hard to take much along with me, and I always feel a bit at a disadvantage not being able to look at my...

  25. bad idea?

    benegesserit replied to future nicu nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the possibility of getting through faster worth the risk? Remember that, if you don't get the grade you need in all the classes, you'll have to retake it, which will probably add time beyond what...
