  1. Humboldt Points

    I have the same range as you do, Solidus. I'm basically going to forget HSU as an option (although I'd love to miraculously get in!) :) I just don't have the 90+ points it takes! I'm sure the cutoff...
  2. Net Study Guides

    Hi, I'd recommend going to the ERI website and downloading the practice test there. Complete it and then study the questions you missed or felt uncomfortable with. That should be all the studying you...
  3. Confused on the timeline?

    1) You don't have to take the NET or TEAS exams before you apply for the program, although depending on the school it would probably help them out. If you got a high score on it then it would probably...
  4. Humboldt Points

    Are you applying for spring 2010 or fall
  5. Cal States!

    AHHH I hope we don't have to apply for fall 2010 Solidus_Snake! :) But if I do....I'll be applying EVERYWHERE (except Fresno because I don't have this one Philosophy class they
  6. So I took the TEAS...

    I wish we got our scores when we were done with the test! Ours was scantron based, no calculators of course. Atleast that eliminated the possibility of computer errors. I got an overall of 83.5% my...
  7. TEAS math review help

    The NET is very similar to the TEAS except the NET is much, much easier and has many more sections to fill out. Also, you're allowed to go back to different sections if you run out of time on the NET...
  8. ATI is a total rip-off

    Eh, I agree with everyone else in saying that you should really have read the return policy. However, I do overall agree that ATI is a "rip-off" as charging $20 per official ATI score transcript is...
  9. Humboldt State Nursing

    Oh Ok, yeah I think I got that e-mail when I sent in my admissions packet back in August. SMU isn't accepting applications anymore (their deadline was Sept 1) which is quite unfortunate because if I...
  10. Humboldt State Nursing

    Hey, (hope you're doing well!!) I didn't get anything from HSU saying when I'd hear about admission status which concerns me a little! Did it come via e-mail or USPS? If it's USPS I guess mine is just...
  11. need ideas

    Someone else did the anatomy of an orgasm, and another person did her presentation on "Runner's High" which is something that people who do intense exercise for a long time feel. Both were interesting...
  12. What to do between now and starting pre-reqs?

    Hi! I'd personally recommend enrolling in a CNA class or starting some volunteer work. Having that experience under your belt looks good not only when applying for nursing school, but also when...
  13. need ideas

    I loved my presentation for physio. I HATE, HATE, HATE public speaking and giving presentations. I can do it, but I absolutely can't stand it. It's so nerve racking! So I chose to do mine on something...
  14. Any CSU Fresno pre nursing students here?????

    You can take prerequisite courses wherever. I recommend doing it at a community college just because it will be WAY
  15. Taking NET in a month

    The NET was VERY easy. I prepared for it by buying and completing the online practice test the night before the exam (which was at 8am the next morning). The online practice test is SO similar to the...
  16. Does this bother you.. or is it just me?

    First of all, what's with the attacking? That's quite inappropriate and there's no need (nor desire) for that kind of communication here. Let's agree to disagree. There's no need to attack...
  17. Does this bother you.. or is it just me?

    Clever! I'll give it a try
  18. So Excited! Acceptance Letter Arrived - CCCCD

    Congrats!! I'm waiting for my January 2010 acceptance letter. Hopefully it will get here in October!
  19. Does this bother you.. or is it just me?

    I agree that you did the right thing. I also find that very, very annoying. I've dealt with a lot of people who hover over my notes during lecture. I find it SO distracting! I've never gotten the...
  20. Humboldt State Nursing

    When I asked the people at HSU about transcripts she said there wasn't an official due date for official copies, but to get them in ASAP. She said they prefer to have them before the application...
  21. Humboldt State Nursing

    I had to send mine to HSU Admissions. You send an unofficial copy to the nursing dept. at HSU (basically just printed off the website of your school if you can do such a thing). PS glad you decided to...
  22. certifications before applying

    It actually depends on the school. Several programs offer extra points for people with a CNA or EMT certification and a lot offer extra points for plain paid hospital work. Also, if your school...
  23. Anyone know any schools without insane wait lists?

    I agree in saying you basically picked the worst state to move to for a nursing degree. I live in CA too and I know how ridiculously impossible it is to get into a school here. Waitlists are long,...
  24. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    No, nothing I've also accepted it and really I'm okay with it. It's so frustrating to have been SO close (as you well know), but I'm glad we got to share the experience together and knew we weren't...
  25. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    Sure is! But it has campuses in other areas (San Mateo, SF, etc.)
