  1. Hopkins...Who Else is Applying?

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

    Network2Networth, I love those student blogs, too! They are so inspiring and just really make you want to be

  2. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    SFChef replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey fellow Hopkins hopefuls! Was anyone else on the chat yesterday? They said that they try to have the ED decisions made earlier than Dec. 15 and that we might actually hear sooner (but definitely...

  3. Samuel Merritt Prereqs

    SFChef replied to kmyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Pharmacology online through Long Beach City College (and I live in northern California). The instructor, Faye Gregory, was great and I really learned a lot in her class. There are 3...

  4. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, Hopkins will notify you when they receive your application, but it will probably take them a few days. For example, I sent my application via Fed Ex, so I know it was signed for on a Friday...

  5. Very confused, and my advisor is no help...

    SFChef replied to Yakadoo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found the page by going to the main page for Lonestar and typing "nursing" into the search bar in the upper right corner...from there, it will give you several options to choose from. I have no idea...

  6. Very confused, and my advisor is no help...

    SFChef replied to Yakadoo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yakadoo, maybe you're not looking at the right spot on their website, because I found this page and it answers most of your questions. http://northharris.lonestar.edu/25826/ Applications are available...

  7. Very confused, and my advisor is no help...

    SFChef replied to Yakadoo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Yakadoo, It's a little bit hard to answer your question completely, because all schools are different. I'm sorry your advisor wasn't much of a help, but to be honest, most of the information you...

  8. Online Classes...

    SFChef replied to Hoping2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above poster, the difficulty (or ease) of an online class is totally up to the professor. I have taken several online courses and found them to be challenging, but very doable. For...

  9. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    JohnnyNurse, it's great to hear from other people who want to go Hopkins and are going crazy waiting! At least you've applied to other schools, so you have a built-in back up plan. I probably...

  10. Samuel Merritt Prereqs

    SFChef replied to kmyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The pathophysiology online class at UCLA Extension is a great class (if the instructor is Dr. Judith Halle). Very doable--and she gives great powerpoint lectures that are easy to download and save...

  11. Samuel Merritt Prereqs

    SFChef replied to kmyRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Regarding pathophysiology, I don't know the current schedule for UCLA extension, but I took it there and it is a great online class. The tuition was about $500 (not totally cheap, but at least it's...

  12. does anybody have experience with good tutoring experience?

    SFChef replied to jimbojonesey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Skyline in San Bruno has a great tutoring center. Jessie is one of the chem tutors there and he is fantastic! I think most of the tutors are students (except Math and possibly English), but...

  13. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Regarding the tuition, I took that into consideration when I made my decision. If accelerated is going to cost the same amount, I might as well spend more time and do traditional. Also, I have heard...

  14. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, the traditional program is about the same cost as the accelerated. Traditional is $30k per year (approx), for 2 years. Accel is $57k (approx) for the program. JHU has said they are...

  15. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my bachelor's in economics from USF (a long time ago). I also went to culinary school, and have been working as a pastry chef instructor at a culinary school (teaching and writing baking...

  16. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Serasarah, Your friend that applied to Hopkins and got in--was that recently? I'm just wondering if they have already started notifying people for next year.. What were her stats (you know, GPA,...

  17. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I turned my application in during the last week of October...now I'm just waiting to find out. I applied under the early decision option, so at least I'll have an answer by December 15! Where...

  18. Did anyone find anatomy easy?

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

    I don't think that anatomy was necessarily hard, but it was a lot work. I studied everyday and never let myself fall behind. The people in class who fell behind were the ones who had the hardest...

  19. Hopkins...Who Else is Applying?

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

    No, I haven't been to an open house. I live in San Francisco, so it's not as easy to visit. I have, however, spent numerous hours on their website and feel like I know as much as I possibly can. It...

  20. Fall '09... When Will You Know?

    SFChef replied to kalley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied under the early decision option, and will know by December 15...the wait is still killing me!!! Good luck

  21. Pharmacology at Yuba College

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

    Hi Jess, I tried for 2 semesters to get into pharm online at Yuba College, but the class always filled before my registration date. I ended up taking it online through Long Beach City College (even...

  22. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Serasarah, Good luck with Hopkins! I applied there for next year, too, except that I am more interested in the traditional program...I think their program is amazing and I want to spend more time at...

  23. Accelerated nursing programs in Fall 2009

    SFChef replied to serasarah18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, Hopkins' accelerated program starts in the summer. Their Fall start date is for the traditional (21 month) program. On the west coast, I am pretty sure that Samuel Merritt College has a...

  24. conversion help cannot pull it together

    SFChef replied to springinsummer123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CSantos has been great with this answer, but I can help with one conversion. 3 tsp. = 1 tbsp. 1 tbsp. = 1/2 ounce 2 tbsp. = 1 ounce I think the 3 tsp equals 1 tbsp is easier than the decimal...

  25. Where to live in SF

    SFChef replied to VegasNurse05's topic in California Nursing

    A decent place to live in the City is in the Sunset district, and probably Park Merced apartments might work for you. I haven't been inside one of their units for years (they are right across from...
