Check out www.testpreview.com... The ATI testing website also sells a workbook that's also a big help, but a bit pricey. Good luck!

I just finished my first semester of nursing school at LBCC! Good luck and congratulations to all incoming nursing students for fall...:heartbeat If you are an alternate, don't fret...I know of at least 10 students last semester that got alternate...

Hi emtj...I agree with matilda123 100% . I've been an EMT for 9 years (2 with a private ambulance, 7 as an ER tech) and will be entering ns in the spring. Being a tech, cna, phlebotomist, etc. is invaluable experience on your road to becoming a nur...

:icon_hug:Hugs to you, figisawesome!

A secretary in the health science department told me that if an applicant does not have at least 22-23 total points (based on grades in science pre-reqs and english) one should expect to be on the wait list at least 3-4 years. A guy in my dosage ca...

Congratulations, AZMOMO2! Cheers! :cheers:

I'm taking a dosage calculations class at Cypress College and some of the students are currently in the nursing program. Some have said they waited 3-4 years on the wait list. I asked the "lady in the window" of the health science dept. office and ...

Congratulations, Csantos! :w00t::w00t: 4.0 Gpa! That's awesome! I also start in January 09, but won't graduate until December 2010. This is soooo exciting! Way to go!

my orientation/luncheon will be Jan. 8th! I'm so excited! School starts on the 12th. I just passed the teas last Friday and it's such a relief...its like a ton of bricks off my shoulders! In January, I hear we will have a tour of the labs, meet our f...

My school gave us a book list for the Spring semester last month so we can start planning financially...which was actually pretty nice of them. I've started buying some of the texts (online or at a used textbook store)every other week when its payda...

I just started reviewing the Teas using the ATI study manual and found it to be very helpful especially when it came to the math portion. There were a lot of 'hints' on formulas and what conversion factors would be needed to memorize for the actual t...

Congratulations, Katie!! I'm sooo happy for you! Cheers! :cheers:

Almost there! Congrats on the awesome pre-req grades! :cheers: Cheers!

and they collect the paper, too...if I'm not mistaken! lol

Definitely check out your intended school's pre-requisites for nursing and see a counselor. Most NS programs want you to have A/P, chem, micro, and english 100 finished before you can even apply.

I agree with Water...try not to put all your eggs in one basket. CSULB has an excellent program. As for a CNA program, check with Coastline ROP's website or Google: California Regional Occupational Program for other options. When I was looking for...

Hi Jeanie...sounds like you're on the right track. From my understanding, leaving a state university before obtaining your degree should not hurt your chances of getting into NS at Golden West just as long as your grades are up and you left in good ...

Congratulations & good luck! :urck:

I so agree with you, polka-dot! When I worked night shift at the ER and the holiday schedule would come around, my director would say, "hey, since you're on winter break...how about working Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years?....it's not like y...

Hi Mrs.Me...have you looked into Glendale Community College? Its one of the few CC around LA County that has a weekend program. The application period just ended (Sept 5) for Sp '09, but it's still worth looking into...:typing

Congratulations and good luck!!! :w00t::w00t:

Congratulations, tiggger340!!! Awesome...good luck!

Definitely check with each schools. Some nursing schools have a minimum overall GPA requirement from all colleges attended AND also require a minimum sciences (a/p, micro) GPA such as a 2.5 or 3.0....:)

Congratulations!!!!
