  1. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A very big congrats :) I can't tell you how many e-mails I've sent out. I went in for a drop in appointment last Tuesday just to try and prove how serious I am about getting in for fall. Unfortunately...

  2. Is it too much to ask?

    bluechick112 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In that case, I would have bought the books! Absolutely, 100%. How on earth are they going to complete their homework assignments if they don't have the

  3. Is it too much to ask?

    bluechick112 replied to AllSmiles225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never used any books for any class in my prerequisite courses. In fact, I stopped buying them about mid-way through finishing up my prerequisites. However, I think that depends a lot on the...

  4. VA Hospital - nursing program

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

    My mom works at the VA as a nurse manager MSN and I've been working as a SCEP student this summer just to get some more experience in the door. I plan to apply to the VALOR program next summer,...

  5. Frustrated, need to vent

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

    I am SO sorry to hear that. That has to be incredibly frustrating. What school is it? If it's a state school, they might be more forgiving than private schools....I'd call them and see if you have any...

  6. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

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

    That's perfect! You did awesome on the TEAS. That's going to help you out SO much---really.

  7. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

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

    Oh how I wish I lived in IL. I also agree that students with 4.0s don't always mean they're going to be great nurses. You have to have good people skills, not just be "book smart". But unfortunately...

  8. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's awful! Are you going to apply to other programs for spring entry? Or are you just going to take the guaranteed fall 2010 admission and keep yourself occupied until

  9. Lost about becoming an RN.

    bluechick112 replied to jhuynh510's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the idea of staying away from Everest for all the same reasons listed above. There are a lot of private and state schools here in CA that offer nursing programs (most for less than the...

  10. Nursing Newbie with Burning Questions

    bluechick112 replied to cahn0417's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure you can apply to some MSN programs without a BSN, but you atleast have to have your ADN with your RN license. I think they even offer this option online at select schools. I'm not sure...

  11. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, no! Spring 2010 :) Keep up hope! Spring isn't that far away, right? I guess waiting around for one semester won't be too bad. I know I'll personally have to do some meditation or something to keep...

  12. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AH!!! Have you heard anything yet? The wait is still absolutely driving me crazy (both the wait for ME and the wait for YOU!). I got so impatient that I went in to speak with an admissions counselor...

  13. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

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

    Sorry, I figured since I mentioned in a previous post to this thread that I was waiting on SMU you'd realize that was the same school I was referring

  14. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

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

    I'm not yet, I'm still #1 on the waitlist for fall 09 entry. But I'm assuming I won't get in since there's only a week left for them to accept me. That's okay though, there's always

  15. Where on earth are CA students with a low GPA(3.3) applying!?!?!

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

    There is definitely hope!!! But you'll probably have to dish out the big bucks and apply for private schools. Someone with a 3.3GPA made the waitlist at my school for fall 2009 entry. She didn't get...

  16. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow I've never even thought about someone calling and leaving a message over the weekend. I'm glad I didn't hear that theory earlier or every monday morning I'd literally do the exact same thing --...

  17. 1st alternate...and it's driving me CrAzY!!!!

    bluechick112 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's ridiculously frustrating to hear. PS--every time I see a response to this thread, I think it's YOU, O2BN, saying you finally heard

  18. Humboldt Points

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

    I absolutely agree that it's going to be a crazy application period. I'd feel fairly safe with 92 though!

  19. Anyone in the Sacramento area get an answer yet?

    bluechick112 replied to kew82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know what the point cut off for Humboldt was for fall 2009? Appreciated

  20. How do you send your TEAS results???

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

    Isn't that ridiculous? Yes, $20 per

  21. Samuel Merritt ABSN 2010 San Mateo

    bluechick112 replied to elle4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied for their regular BSN program, but I know my friend who applied to the ABSN program at SF already got their acceptance letter atleast a week ago -- I wonder why the San Mateo campus is...

  22. How do you send your TEAS results???

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

    Tell me about it. You'd think they make enough money off of testing fees to begin with! Well, welcome to the beginnings of college debt

  23. How do you send your TEAS results???

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

    The way it worked here was the college I took the TEAS at automatically received the results. When we signed up or took the TEAS or something they provided us with a paper we could fill out as to...

  24. New here

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

    First of all, welcome! I've found that allnurses.com is a place where people in all different levels of nursing can come and discuss so please don't apologize for not knowing if you should even be...

  25. Is anyone STILL waiting to hear for fall 2009 entry?

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

    I can't believe I'm still waiting around!! I've basically given up for fall 2009 acceptance -- classes start on the 31st! So technically I still have a week to hear back, but I'm sure I'd just be...
