Right? I felt terrible after not passing, but then a super-competent friend also failed to pass. We figure there must be some sort of personality quality quotient they are looking for, that we don't meet. (We have similar personalities) Or it's a...

I have to second Jams, there are a few older posts in the archives about ODS experiences. I also found a cool wiki put together by physicians on their way to ODS: http://navyhpsp.net/wiki/ODS_Tips Hope that helps! Congratulations and good luck!

Extended Learning oversees CSUSM's ABSN, so any statistics from the School of Nursing do not apply. As I mentioned previously, my classmates and I are pretty sure it's first come, first serve (as long as you have your "nursing core" prerequisites do...

The ABSN is easier to get into (for now) since it's so new - we also had a double cohort (100 spots instead of 50). We think that Extended Learning takes applicants first come, first serve, as opposed to the School of Nursing, which has a points syst...

I am actually a student in the 2010 Accelerated BSN class at the Temecula satellite campus, but if you're anything like me, any bit of information helps. As a new program, there are definitely wrinkles to be ironed out. Skills lab time and clinica...

One of the best people to accurately answer your more technical questions is a Medical Officer Recruiter - you can find your most local recruiter here: http://www.navy.com/findarecruiter/ my recruiter is very straightforward and answers all my quest...

Are We Human by The Killers always makes a nursing montage run through my mind. "Will your system be alright? When you dream of home tonight There is no message we're receiving Let me know, is your heart still beating? Are we human, or are we dancer ...

Yep! I hadn't planned on going back to school for another year, but got laid off and moved in with my parents to re-asses. I found a program near our home, and decided that the less debt, the better! I had been out of the house for 7 years, but we...

Congratulations! I went to high school in Fallbrook (on the Naval Weapons Station side of Pendleton), and did some time in the Naval Hospital there (broke right distal fibula my senior year!). Fallbrook is also a great little (emphasis on little) pla...

:yeah:Hurrah! I just got my e-mail, too!!! I got into the Temecula cohort - someone/thing out there really is looking out for me! Riy2b - are you on the main campus? I'm out of town for Orientation - I hope that is okay - I will stay home if I ha...

I'm another CSUSM Accelerated BSN hopeful. I don't know why, but the fact that CSUSM is going to e-mail/call makes me more anxious about waiting. Now I will be checking my e-mail/voicemail obsessively as well as the mailbox.

Congratulations! I am working on my NCP packet now - I'm actually hoping that I come up before the board right around October for just this reason - NCP spots are given out on a rolling basis, so your chances are better at the beginning of the fisca...

As previous poster mentioned - work with the ATI study guide, and you're golden. The test is just like the guide. There are no suprises or tricks to the exam. Good luck!

Me! Thanks, I didn't want to be the first to ask. I believe that the notification date is July 18th, based on CSUSM's extended learning site. http://www.csusm.edu/el/acceleratedbsn/how_to_apply.php I think it's so they can consider your summer cours...

The TEAS is just like the study guide - if you've done your studying, you should be fine - it's very straightforward. The trickest part for me was re-learning how to do math by hand - but I followed the guide and did fine on that part. Worst part w...

I am cautiously optimistic - I'm waiting on a letter from an accelerated BSN program - I never knew about wait lists, impacted programs, and all the craziness until I started prereq classes this semester. All I can think to do if not accepted is br...

Wow - it has taken me days to read over from the very beginning - but totally worth it for the wisdom I have gained. I am still a student, but I have worked with high schoolers in a summer program for many years, and they have taught me a few medica...

I am tres jealous of everyone finishing up - I have another couple weeks before finals start. We have our two big "projects" due next week. We did an unknowns lab (I got lucky and I am already done separating and identifying!) and a research projec...

I'm applying for a Second Degree/Accelerated BSN program and the TEAS is part of the "points" system for admission. We won't actually find out if we are in the program until July . Good luck to you, though!

I took the TEAS a few weeks ago - The ATI study guide is pretty true to the test, and if you know the guide, you should do well. I didn't spend a lot of time on the science, and did terrible on chemistry and physical science questions. I did pretty...

Just as more confirmation - the NCP is the best bet that I've found. My recruiter joined the navy to become a nurse, and she never did (though she is perfectly happy as a corpsman), because it is difficult to attend school and do your everyday job. ...

I am "crashing" both Micro and Anatomy this semester - got a late start on registration and both classes were closed. Fingers crossed that I get permission to take them both, trying to make the Fall 09 cohort of an Accelerated BSN.
