  1. How much is everyone paying for books this upcoming semester?

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

    I expect to pay less than $100 for 5 classes. Hopefully less than $50. Previous edition used books

  2. Would you pick a school according to their pass rates?

    benegesserit replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in California Nursing

    If I remember your school right... (It's one I'm interested in because the program sounds interesting and I like the area) I expect that part of the problem is that you're getting castoffs from the...

  3. preq classes

    benegesserit replied to cherisse12286's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Spreading the science classes out and taking the other prereqs at the same time is probably going to be easier and more efficient than jamming the science together at the end. Like, take Psych with...

  4. Organic Chemistry or intro to Chemistry

    benegesserit replied to staci8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Didn't you take some sort of intro chemistry course before taking Organic Chemistry? I was just looking earlier, and it looks to me like Sac State only requires Organic Chemistry as a prereq, with the...

  5. preq classes

    benegesserit replied to cherisse12286's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1 year is pretty much minimum (most people aren't going to do well if they attempt to do all three science classes in one semester), but it can take much longer, depending on what prerequisites your...

  6. Gpa/net

    benegesserit replied to hg09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No kidding. My informal observation from these forums is that the Bay Area is the toughest area in the country to get into nursing school, with Sacramento close behind. We're considering moving if I...

  7. Gpa/net

    benegesserit replied to hg09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you look at this file: http://www.hhs.csus.edu/nrs/Advising/GenericAdvising/docs/selection_criteria_web_version_2-9-07.pdf it shows you how the GPA, TEAS scores, and other factors interact for that...

  8. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

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

    Pay attention to what the teacher says will be on the tests and the content of the first test. In my class, there were people who probably knew more anatomy than I did who did worse in the class...

  9. How many programs/schools are you applying to?

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

    I'm applying to the 4 non-waitlist programs within reasonable commuting distance for Spring (it wouldn't make sense to apply for more if I wouldn't be able to attend, anyways), plus possibly getting...

  10. what should I do?

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

    ALL the programs around here are hard to get into. They're either very selective, or multiple-year waiting lists, or lotteries with 800 people applying for 50 spots. From that standpoint, it probably...

  11. What's Your Fall 2008 Class Schedule

    benegesserit replied to chugger1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the moment I'm registered for: Speech Statistics Pharmacology online Pathophysiology online Sociology online I may end up dropping one or more of those and/or adding something different. Statistics...

  12. What has been the hardest prereq for you?

    benegesserit replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anatomy and Chemistry are pretty much a tie for me. Micro and Physio were easy. A lot of work, but easier for me to understand. This may have had a lot to do with teacher

  13. Does any one know where to take Pathopysiology??

    benegesserit replied to Ngk0613's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TheSquire - a few local programs have it as a separate class. In the case of my college, you can take it either before officially starting nursing school or during the first semester. Yuba/Woodland...

  14. Do you need a Laptop?

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

    Depends on the program, but not in general. Obviously, if the program/school in question requires a laptop, that answer would be different. I have a laptop, but never bring it to school, and use the...

  15. Science Courses and Nursing App

    benegesserit replied to nicb9008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless there's some other factor you haven't mentioned, you may as well apply now. If you don't get in the first time, you're no worse off than you would have been if you'd waited to apply until after...

  16. HELP! trying to find Fall '08 Science in No. CA

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

    I agree - just show up at the class and try to get in. I got in to full Anatomy and Physiology classes this way, and only had to try at the one school I usually attend (Woodland Community College)....

  17. Spring 09 Hopefuls

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

    Where are you applying? Several Sacramento-area CC programs for Spring What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? Depends on if you're talking just prereqs, just science prereqs, or...

  18. Should I go into the navy??

    benegesserit replied to hhlvn2121's topic in Government, Military

    Telling my family and friends (if I decide to go for it) is going to be one of the hardest parts for me, because I know they're not going to understand! If you go into the military as an LVN (or ADN,...

  19. Starting at (almost) the very beginning...

    benegesserit replied to R2ndof7's topic in Government, Military

    A year is no time :) Especially considering that you'll need some of that time to get your paperwork processed, which can take a while. I have a minimum of 2.5 years before I get my BSN, and that...

  20. Paying for books

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

    I agree - look into other options for buying books before going into debt. You can generally find books an edition or two back for under $10 each, and the content has generally not changed enough to...

  21. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

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

    Do you happen to know if the class is full, by any chance? I've noticed teachers, especially those of classes that have a waitlist, give big scare speeches at the beginning to get those students who...

  22. Starting at (almost) the very beginning...

    benegesserit replied to R2ndof7's topic in Government, Military

    I'm just starting investigating the military myself, but seeing as no one else has responded yet, and I'm not yet sick of reading repetitive questions :) I figured I'd give it my best shot. You have...

  23. Is this really doable?

    benegesserit replied to pekinsweety86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations :) As for whether it's feasible or not... consider the competitiveness of the program you're trying to get into. If you get a less than optimal grade, or you end up withdrawing from...

  24. Anyone taking Nursing at Solano Community College in Fairfield, Ca?

    benegesserit replied to love2nurse4life's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not attending Solano currently, but it's one of the ones I plan to apply there as soon as I finish Microbiology in a few weeks. It's good to hear they have a good

  25. Wait list vs. no wait list

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

    Lots of California Community Colleges don't go by wait lists. Perhaps even most. Some are merit-based, some are lottery, some are a combination of one of those three systems. I don't believe any of...
