  1. CSU's not accepting new students for spring 2010?

    js408 replied to elfgirl's topic in California Nursing

    California voters elected an actor to run the state government. Did you expect something better to

  2. Statistics

    js408 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school had intermediate algebra as a prereq so I had to take beginner's algebra and the intermediate algebra. Really you don't need anything more than beginner's algebra to get through statistics....

  3. Cheating on final

    js408 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same at my school. The professors make big threats about what will happen if people are caught cheating or plagiarizing and they never follow through. Many teachers claim that if you're caught...

  4. Cheating on final

    js408 replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Last year a couple people cheated on an exam in my Statistics class. I notified the professor and the dean of the school and the professor was forced to make the entire class retake the

  5. Too Much Too Soon?

    js408 replied to JasmDasm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should drop Micro. 3-4 hours a day is probably enough to cover A&P

  6. How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

    js408 replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used flash cards a lot during the first month of class to help me memorize terms like body regions and one-word definitions. After the first month the flash cards weren't

  7. How many hours did you study A&P and what grade did you get?

    js408 replied to BreatheFree's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    on a non-test week i studied for around 20-25 hours per week. on a test-week i studied around 25-30 hours during the week. i got an a in the class. the people in my class who made an a were the people...

  8. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

    js408 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Whether you get FAFSA money or pay out of pocket has nothing to do with advisors. It's not like they get a commission. At any rate, the college gets the same amount of money whether you pay out of...

  9. csu nursing --bsn program

    js408 replied to CranialNerves12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think most doctors have a GPA that high. The requirements to get into CSU nursing are just

  10. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

    js408 replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wasn't suggesting withholding any information. If the nursing school requires transcripts from all prior schools, even if you didn't get a degree, then obviously you have to provide it. The school...

  11. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

    js408 replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lol. Which law did I break

  12. csu nursing --bsn program

    js408 replied to CranialNerves12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Based on what I've heard from people who've been accepted, and from talking to the advisers at some CSU schools, you need a 3.50 to even be considered for acceptance and a 3.75 if you want a good...

  13. Will taking Spanish help me get accepted?

    js408 replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Probably

  14. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

    js408 replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No it's not. My school records are confidential and I'm not obligated by any law, policy, or rule to share every school transcript with every other school I attend. You need to know what you're...

  15. Fresh out of highschool wanting to become a RN then CRNA.

    js408 replied to BrittanyLeigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good

  16. USF in San Francisco: Applied? Considering?

    js408 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing

    At $35,000 per year plus the cost of housing and books? No

  17. Community college courses easier than University?

    js408 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say community colleges are harder. Of course, it varies by

  18. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've simply stated my opinion. I don't believe that someone who passed a class should get to retake the class for a higher grade. It turns out that the California school system agrees with me since...

  19. GPA- ack...! 1.82 or 3.1?

    js408 replied to maybe_baby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best solution is to start over. I also had a similar experience as you. Went to college straight out of highschool and had something like a 2.0 GPA with at least one F on my transcript before I...

  20. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full time and go to class at night and on weekends. Last year I had to miss a week of classes because my baby was born in the middle of the spring semester and I spent a whole week in the...

  21. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If life happens then you need to deal with it or drop the course and retake it next semester. In California colleges you're allowed to drop a course up until 75% of class meetings are completed. So...

  22. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school I've looked at publishes a yearly course catalog. The first chapter of the course catalog usually has the school's policies including the policy on retaking classes. No need to even...

  23. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The standard for California colleges is to only allow you to repeat a class if you get a failing grade or if there is a significant lapse of time (like 5 or 10 years). The standard of transfer...

  24. Repeating a course?

    js408 replied to swtstephy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's the point? Both grades will be on your transcript and the school you apply to may ignore the higher grade or average them together. Assuming they average them, a 3.0 and a 4.0 still makes a...

  25. Helpful A&P Study Material

    js408 replied to Kyla.ann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought the anatomy coloring book but I never used it because I don't see what the point of it is. You can buy mine if you really want it. I made my own flash cards, made my own notes and study...
