  1. Accepted at Triton!

    Hotflashn replied to haitianrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any info to share about the school you got accepted, to, but congratulations! That is great news.

  2. Any stay at home moms with little ones?

    Hotflashn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its my pleasure, Jul. I just remember telling my mom we were expecting our third (in 4 years) and her tone of her voice as she said, "Oh honey, I'm sorry." She really meant it in the most...

  3. Any stay at home moms with little ones?

    Hotflashn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, Jul2bRN! Oh those third babies are just like that! My third invited himself, at an equally (but different) inopportune time. It certainly created challenges, but he has brought so...

  4. Has the nursing school wait discouraged anyone?

    Hotflashn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Consumed. Yes. A perfect description! Definitely a wild ride, too. These last days of waiting are horrible. I expected to hear something a few days ago because I was told I would. Nada. So that has...

  5. Has the nursing school wait discouraged anyone?

    Hotflashn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are a stronger, better person now!! Babies do that. Pretty amazing, isn't it? We think that they are going to come into this world and we are going to teach them, and they become our greatest...

  6. Has the nursing school wait discouraged anyone?

    Hotflashn replied to Hausfrau's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started looking into nursing school 20+ years ago and was discouraged way back then! It wasn't nearly as trying and complicated and impacted as it is now, but as a young, new mother, it seemed too...

  7. Smart pen - recorder?

    Hotflashn replied to Hotflashn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No, I was hoping to hear from a real person. Popular Science gave it a good review, and I consider them reputable, but there is nothing like a honest review by an actual (and uncompensated) student to...

  8. I am a loser

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't win the ADN lottery. It is ok, since it wasn't my first choice school, or my second, or even my third. I did "want a date to the prom" though, and would have gone with whomever asked...

  9. I am a loser

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

    MedicalNerd, I hear ya on the gas woes! I have $4 bridge toll in some cases, too. Ugh. Have you considered Solano in Fairfield? It is a waitlist school, but the numbers move really fast. It seems to...

  10. I am a loser

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

    I applied to 1 BSN, and 3 ADNs. One was the lottery, and the other two gave me waitlist numbers a year and a half ago. I was in the upper 300s and am now in 100s. I keep reminding myself that I have a...

  11. I'm Going to be a RN!

    Hotflashn replied to djc1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!

  12. CSUEB anyone?

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

    Are you using the "My CSUEB" site or the "CSU Mentor" site, Muimui? I can't access my Mentor application any longer, just the CSUEB site that uses the Net ID EB provided. Then I could check the...

  13. CSUEB anyone?

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

    I still haven't heard (and my head is about to explode) but .... (oh I hope I am not setting myself up for a broken heart) I did go online and check my application status. It use to say "provisional...

  14. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

    Hotflashn replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, Nursic, do you know something I don't?! I haven't gotten word yet - except that I didn't get into the lottery school. Don't know yet for the BSN program (pulling out hair at the 11th hour wait!)...

  15. I am a loser

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

    Thanks, you guys (gals.) I am done with my pity party. I don't really think I am a loser, I am actually very fortunate and blessed in all the most important ways. Mostly, I meant I was not a winner,...

  16. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    Hotflashn replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    Concord only, for me. If I can't get in there, then I won't go to Hayward, I will wait for one of the ADNs I have a # for. I can't cope with too much of a commute with my younger kids (and even one of...

  17. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

    Hotflashn replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats, LadyJane! Yeah for you! What a whirlwind - app in in March, acceptance in may, program in June ... wow. Now that is the way to do it! Sign me up for

  18. Digital Voice Recorder - Suggestions?

    Hotflashn replied to stinebean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a Sony and I like it. Its small enough, not to small. It came with software and USB cable so I can save recordings on my computer, email them, make a CD, edit recordings, save in different...

  19. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    Hotflashn replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats Engima! That is great news. Enjoy your walk on Cloud

  20. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    Hotflashn replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    Julz, you can set the CSU EB campus email acct up so that it forwards your email to your regular email address. Just log in, select settings, then select forward and add whatever email address(es) you...

  21. Lets stop smoking

    Hotflashn replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you, Coolpeach. Just think, with all the money you save you will be able to afford NS! I quit when I was pregnant with my daughter (many moons ago) so I know what you are giving up, but I...

    Hotflashn replied to phoenixfire's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear ya! I applied Oct 07 to one school and still don't know. Mentally, I started waiting in Feb as soon as I did my TEAS. I am sure they have their decision by now. The lottery school's pick should...

  24. I made it!!!!!!

    Hotflashn replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Coolpeach! I am so happy for you! Awesome, congratulations. Sweet about your mom. Hope I can follow in your footsteps pretty quick. I was so hoping for email or letter today. I have been so...

    Hotflashn replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trying to hang on to my A, in O chem, too. Only a few weeks left of class, but still a lot of points with one last exam and a heavily weighted final. I am soooooo ready to be done with this class!...
