  1. CNA Exam Dilemma! Help!

    bluechick112 replied to bluechick112's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you so much! Actually, being a pre-nursing student, I already know how to take vitals. I've been practicing for about 2 years now! :) But it's all the steps involved before and after that are...

  2. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    bluechick112 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agreed, CA is pretty great! But it's just too difficult to get in! Like I said, I'm staying hopeful---but #11 on the waitlist doesn't make me feel too great. I also started to look out of state. My...

  3. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    bluechick112 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mine is also a 2 year program--thankfully! I think it's somewhere around 70K/yr including all extra expenses which is RIDICULOUS. I heard even with financial aid it's still somewhere around 28K/yr!...

  4. Net test

    bluechick112 replied to Darlene Hopkins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure, but I know here in CA we're not allowed to take the NET test with a proctor. We have to take it in the group with everyone else there. If you have any math questions, I got 100% on the...

  5. Math NET help?

    bluechick112 replied to Nervous1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the NET and got 100% on the math section. If there's anything I can do to help you out, let me know. Really. Also, have you looked at the NET test company's website? There's a practice test on...

  6. Need Nursing Program anywhere with short wait list!

    bluechick112 replied to Dannie78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I could help. Are you looking for your ADN or BSN? I'm in CA (bay area) and some people I know have been on waitlists for 3+ years! Whatever you do, don't move to CA. Competition here is just...

  7. questions for nursing/pre-nursing students!

    bluechick112 replied to lovelylady42's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow--congratulations! Your school sounds really great. Is it a private school or a state

  8. Can anyone explain quarter vs. semester credits

    bluechick112 replied to nnicolee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I think I can help you out. I was looking at schools nation-wide and also ran across schools that used quarter units. The answer is 1.5 quarter credits per semester credit. Think about taking a...

  9. Sick of waiting to know? Say "I"!

    bluechick112 replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    nurse12b, BEST OF LUCK to you. You're bound to hear back soon enough! Mind if I ask what school you're waiting to hear from? I heard that some of the CA schools are letting students know if you give...

  10. Sick of waiting to know? Say "I"!

    bluechick112 replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Geez, I wish I was in both of your shoes. You were both very high up on your waitlists! I shouldn't be complaining since I feel it's an awesome opportunity to even be on the waitlist at all at the...

  11. Sick of waiting to know? Say "I"!

    bluechick112 replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks!! Where were you waitlisted

  12. Algebra Online?

    bluechick112 replied to freesia29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm not sure which college you're at, but at mine the online Algebra class was a breeze! I had taken Algebra in high school, so it was a bit of a refresher course, but I much preferred it over the...

  13. Sick of waiting to know? Say "I"!

    bluechick112 replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I!!! I totally get it. I, too, loved to race down to the mailbox as soon as I heard the mailman drive off. I, too, checked my e-mail on an hourly basis (including the spam box!). I only applied to two...

  14. Ok now I KNOW I've lost my mind :)

    bluechick112 replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm applying to somewhere around 15 schools. I had MANY MORE to apply to on my list, but realized I'd be spending like $1000 just in application and official transcript fees. However, I am on the...

  15. Opportunities for pre-nursing student

    bluechick112 replied to chubba926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, In my opinion, the BEST nursing experience you can get under your belt is to get your C.N.A. and work as a Nursing Assistant in a hospital or SNF. The skills you leran as a CNA will be very...

  16. Samuel Merritt. Can you get into the program with "C" on Physiology?

    bluechick112 replied to maximus76's topic in California Nursing

    awesome! I sent you a PM, but I'm not sure if I did it right (I think I did...) Anyway, yes! Hope to see you and everyone else on campus this coming semester....keeping my fingers

  17. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

    bluechick112 replied to 422jdb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm shocked that they offer Anatomy online anywhere. It's such a hands-on class...I just don't see how it can be taught online. I wish you the best of luck--I'm sure you'll do great!

  18. Im Taking the NET Tomorrow, AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to JustaMSBoi's topic in General Nursing

    I'd absolutely have to agree that the NET is a complete joke. It's very, very easy! All I did to study for it was purchase the practice test from the company issuing the test. It was an online...

  19. Samuel Merritt. Can you get into the program with "C" on Physiology?

    bluechick112 replied to maximus76's topic in California Nursing

    She's really great. PM me if you want her

  20. Samuel Merritt. Can you get into the program with "C" on Physiology?

    bluechick112 replied to maximus76's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks BigMan, that's really helpful information. My friend also started the program this past spring and said she was concerned when a few of her friends dropped out and noone came to replace them...

  21. Samuel Merritt. Can you get into the program with "C" on Physiology?

    bluechick112 replied to maximus76's topic in California Nursing

    Still waiting here on the waitlist.... I heard on allnurses.com that they just recently offered admission to #7 on the waitlist so they're getting up there! We'll see, though. I'm hoping that with the...

  22. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

    bluechick112 replied to 422jdb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Allie just reminded me of something that might help anyone who's taking Anatomy. My teacher (who was absolutely excellent, by the way, and literally dedicated her life to teaching Anatomy) made...

  23. TEAS or NET Study Guide Info

    bluechick112 replied to NESHIA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the NET. Maybe it wasn't ATI testing.... Whatever the company is that issues the NET. That's the site I got the online practice test from---FOR THE NET. I also took the TEAS. Didn't bother...

  24. Anatomy! in 8 weeks!!!

    bluechick112 replied to 422jdb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I absolutely, 100% agree that flash cards were no good for me. Especially in Physio. There's just too many things (bones, muscles, etc.) to have flash cards for. Really. You'd spend way too much time...

  25. USF in San Francisco: Applied? Considering?

    bluechick112 replied to Cee_Lee_78's topic in California Nursing
