  2. San Francisco State University BSN Fall 2010

    smellyacres replied to Scooby-Dooby-Doo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, my top choice is Long Beach. I'm also applying to a bunch of ADN programs too just incase. I might retake the teas again though because it counts a lot for CSULB and I got an 88 overall and 100...

  3. San Francisco State University BSN Fall 2010

    smellyacres replied to Scooby-Dooby-Doo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No need to worry about me. 3.5 in prereqs 2/3 sup. No way I'll get in but I'm already applying to the University because I might go part time if I don't get into NS for Fall and since it doesn't cost...

  4. Can someone please pity me?!

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

    Right there with you!!! I'm counting down the days till I'm done as well. I think I've got about.... 34 days of class left? There's a light at the end of the tunnel!! I can see it! It's faint... but...

  5. Almost done with prerequisites?

    smellyacres posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I AM. I'm so exhausted after semester after semester of prereqs. I can't wait until this semester is OVER and I'll be done killing myself to do well in these classes so I can get into nursing school...

  6. Waiting to get a CNA job?

    smellyacres replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Usually nursing homes are the ones that hire new CNAs. Hospitals usually require 1-2 yrs clinical experience, there are some exceptions though. I live in CA though so it might be different where you...

  7. Waiting to get a CNA job?

    smellyacres replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in California. According to the California Registry and the date on my certificate, it doesn't expire until January

  8. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    smellyacres replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yay. I passed! (In April, I didn't see this thread before, haha). Wish I got to see which questions I got wrong

  9. PLEASE HELP!! Anyone with advice for taking the TEAS test! I am totally freaking out!

    smellyacres replied to Special Kae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't study for this at all, hadn't taken a math class in two years and got 100% on the math portion, 88% overall. Really, don't

  10. Cal State LA & Long Beach

    smellyacres replied to elacer08's topic in California Nursing

    They mean in the Spring. The supplemental application is not due until February 15th so it gives you time to get your transcripts in order from the previous

  11. Cal State LA & Long Beach

    smellyacres replied to elacer08's topic in California Nursing

    They don't care how many times you take the TEAS, the only look at the scores you send them. But as long as you only have one course in progress in Spring that is okay. It doesn't matter about how...

  12. Cal State LA & Long Beach

    smellyacres replied to elacer08's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah I have a 3.8 total in my prereqs so far (I have physio and stats left to take this fall). I took the TEAS twice (you can take it as many times as you want). I did not study at all before taking...

  13. Cal State Long Beach Nursing Program

    smellyacres replied to erict's topic in California Nursing

    Go to CSULB's nursing website. They have lots of links to statistics and information on the programs and everything. Very helpful

  14. CSU Long Beach Students???

    smellyacres replied to smellyacres's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, I heard about that. Good thing I didn't go for my plan to try and get all of my prereqs done in time to apply for Spring. Oh well! Good luck to everyone who is applying for Fall. Lets hope there...

  15. Have any of the SRJC students learned of acceptance?

    smellyacres replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah I'm applying to SRJC for next fall/spring (I'm currently a student there) and it is just ridiculous. I have about 7 other schools I'm applying to as well, so lets hope I get some luck

  16. Cal State LA & Long Beach

    smellyacres replied to elacer08's topic in California Nursing

    I think you meant next fall, but yes, I'm applying to

  17. AAAHHHHH!!!!! How does anyone pass A&P I ???

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

    I know how you feel. I HAD a 3.8 GPA until I took anatomy. I thought I was doing okay (It was a very overwhelming semester, I was juggling so many things at once, not smart with Anat) at first, and...

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

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

    I studied probably about 10 hrs a week. My college has one of the hardest science department in the country and I had the hardest Anatomy instructer at my school. The class started out with 50 people...

  19. Interview for CSULB's Nursing School?!

    smellyacres replied to kontayjus's topic in California Nursing

    when i went to the nursing information session in march, i got mixed messages about the interview. one woman said that they accept 120 and then take the top 90 based off of the interview, and then the...

  20. What's your long term goal?

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

    I will be applying for BSN programs for Fall 2010, so hopefully I'll get in somewhere, but I have ASN programs I am applying to as well, so I plan on working my way up no matter how it happens. I...

  21. should i become a cna before taking prereq's?

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

    Very sweet deal, I'd say definately do it. A lot of people say to work in a hopsital rather than a nursing home, but when I did my CNA training, we had clinicals at a nursing home and I found that I...

  22. does it matter where you take prereqs?

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

    it is not looked down upon if you take prereqs at a community college. college is college. many community colleges have better reputations than some

  23. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    smellyacres replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    personally, i'd go to sf state because of how much less expensive it is, because its not a private school. (hopefully you don't mean usf). but if money is not the issue its all good... the downside to...

  24. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    smellyacres replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    its 2.5 years, no summers. so five

  25. San Francisco State University (SFSU) BSN Program

    smellyacres replied to julz16's topic in California Nursing

    That's what I would do. Some schools make you count it as a C grade, but I don't believe SF State does it that
