I took the NCLEX 6/12 and am hopeful that I passed, having gotten the 'good pop-up' and my state doesn't do quick results. I did not do a review. In retrospect, I don't think it would have helped. The SATA questions suck. After you take the test, yo...

most schools will have a BP cuff to use. IMO, it's a waste of money to buy one.

Great Job! You are now an RN!!!!

Professor last name...all 6 of them!

I am starting ns in the fall (after 2 years of rejection:yeah:) and my school just posted info for orientation, uniforms (Im so excited! ), and then there were ATI test fees of 454.00 (approx.) saying the school uses ATI for assessment, practice test...

Thanks! Congrats to you too! I took the TEAS a year and a half ago when I applied for Sutter. It was pretty easy, but the science threw me for a loop. I don't know anything about tectonic plates and earth science stuff. I will be studying the TEAS...

just wanted to see if any of these people are still around. How has Sierra been? Starting in the Fall '10 and just wanted to get some "reviews" if you could spare some time. Thanks!

Well, after 2 years of applying to 4 different schools each semester, I got my letter of congratulations a little over a week ago. I am so excited! I have only attended LosRios, so Sierra will be a new school for me. It seemed like such a long har...

Yeah....30 out of 400 in addition to second and third time applicants getting half of the 30 pool (that's how the counselor described it to me, anyway). Unfortunately, as far as the accelerated program from Sutter, it is the last selection process th...

I just got my "you met the criteria, but where not selected" letter from Sierra. It was my first time applying there (2nd for ARC and SCC). AT least I won't have to do the whole app again (well, hopefully I'll get in this semester and won't have to...

You GO GIRL!!!! You can do it!!!! Great job on the TEAS!!! Wow!!! I agree, the book really worked for the math...tha science was my challenge....and I took Chem a couple years ago. I was out of school for 15 years, and boy did I feel strange at fi...

I had a friend who had the workbook, so I did look at. It would be helpful if you need a math refresher. Math has always been easy for me (I loved the stoichiometry problems - lol!). The tricky thing about the math for a lot of people, is the amou...

Well, I guess everyone is different... The math portion (99%) was super easy to me - but only had a few minutes to spare. Just refresh your memory on fractions and percentages. Oh, another thing to refresh on would be metric conversions. Also, calcul...

I would drive an hour or so each way. Is there a possibilty for you to move? Although I would drive 1+ hr each way - it certainly isn't ideal. GL to you!

waiting here, too. I have 4 nursing apps out: I should know in the next 6 weeks for 2. the other 2 I won't know until ~June 15th. The wait really kills me, it is my second semester of applying... GL to everyone...

I found pharm online to be quite easy - not much time to devote to besides reading. I don't know about patho though. good luck! :)Lisa

you could apply to volunteer at a hospital. Many hospitals have a volunteer program and it is considered experience. :)Lisa

:crying2:I got my "you're eligible but not picked" letter yesterdayfrom SCC.:crying2: man...i was totally expecting it, but it still sucks!!! now i'm waiting for ARC.... Congrats to those who are getting in though! That's awesome!!!

I really loved loved loved A & P!!! My good friend who is an RN - who really struggled through A & P really had it worked up to be this big deal. I thought half-way through the class, "I don't know what she was talking about...this is not h...

Congrats to those who got in!!!! geez....my stomach is in knots....I want to check my mail, but I don't want to..... my kids are on the lookout for it, to....they are so excited about it, I don't want to see he disappointmet on thei faces!!! Let alo...

anyone heard yet??

I was wondering too if it was just a recommendation? I took A&P2 and micro at the same time. The department doesn't recommend it, but (at my school) they didn't force you to take them seperately. They do this because of the amount of people tha...

:yeah:CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!!!

Congrats on your 10th anniversary!!!! Well...an alternate is better than a no!!! I know it kind of puts you i limbo. Good luck!!!! :)Lisa

:yeahthat: texting in class is totally inappropriate..It's disrespectful to the instructor and to the people around you...
