I took the NCLEX-RN in CA on Jan 19th 2012. About 8 other people in my graduating class took the exam the SAME day as well. Long story short, about 3 of them saw their name and license # on the BRN website about 7 days later. I was PANICKED because m...

Hey guys! I am actually finishing up my first semester of nursing at Grossmont after 3 years of waiting. I feel so bad for those of you that have struggled through this long period of waiting only to hear that they're changing the system. Grossmont i...

I put my name on the waitlist in the beginning of Jan 07. I turned in my application as soon as grades were posted for micro so I'm pretty sure it was the beginning of the month. It's been a looong 3 years of waiting but it is certainly going to pay...

Thanks for the congrats everyone!! I actually found out today that I am now OFFICIALLY in the program! Yaaay! I never thought I would see this day!

So after 3 long years of waiting I finally got a phone call yesterday and found out that I am an alternate for next semester! Woo hoo! Now I have much to do before the semester starts in a couple weeks! Off to get my physical now :)

Congratulations!! I've been waiting 2 1/2 years so I hope it happens for me soon. Good luck and congrats once again

Thanks for the update Faeriewand! Being a 'waitlister' it sure makes me feel better to hear that! I'm sure you did great on your final! Keep us posted :yelclap:

Thank you so much for the encouragement katilynn! I've been waiting 2.5 years and am really hoping it happens for me soon, along with the rest of those patient people that have been waiting! And congrats to sdmommie! I'm SO happy for you :icon_hug:

I hope to say "I" really soon! I've been on a waitlist for 2 years and will find out in the next 2 months if I am blessed with a Fall '09 acceptance! Keep your fingers crossed for me. . .

I have a friend who up until the age of 20 thought that women had one "hole." He thought that they peed, pooped, and got their period all out the same place, and was really disturbed by this. I guess he didn't pay attention in Sex-Ed. . . .

I'm new to this website and just wanted to share a story. I wasn't quite sure where to post it, so I figured that this might be a good place! I am a pre-nursing student and have wanted to become a nurse for a very long time. I had a very traumatic ex...

OH MY GOSH I'm so sorry!! Of course I did!! They were wonderful as well, and as an asthmatic I am so thankful that you all are trained in what you do! And I am also thankful to be alive because of them as well! Once I was admitted to the hospital roo...

I also recommend volunteering. I am slightly in the same boat as you. I really want to be a nurse and always have, but was a little leery about certain fluids (stool and vomit). I have been through all of my pre-req's and am now waiting to get into ...

I'm here in San Diego and have been on a waitlist for 2 years! Nursing schools here require hard work and a lot of PATIENCE (as with anywhere else). I have worked hard, and I am now remaining patient. I applied to my local community college 2 years a...

So that's what they do! I always see those commercials and they totally glamorize it. Not to be mean, but do you think that it was a waste of time? I mean you obviously learned skills that will eventually be beneficial to you, but for others that mi...

That sucks that you didn't get a job at Kaiser! What did you do as an MA? I always see the commercials about it, and was always curious as to what the job entailed. I enjoy volunteering, but I must admit that I am rather envious when I see students i...

Thank goodness for this thread! I am a pre-nursing student and am soooo excited to become a nurse, but I HATE vomit! I am embarrassed to admit it, but it's true. Oddly enough I was at work today and saw a woman puking in the parking lot. My whole bod...

Thanks for the advice! Taking a spanish class is definitely a great idea! I took it in high school, but that was 10 years ago, so I certainly need to brush up on my spanish. I appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer :bowingpur Congrats on gett...

I work at the Info desk, so I basically just answer phones, admit and discharge patients, take specimens to the lab, get blood from the blood bank, and pretty much any other errands that the nurses ask us to do. I like it and I've met a lot of other ...

I agree that it is a hard class, but he is definitely fair and is ALWAYS willing to help his students! He always helped a lot during study groups outside of class. Well during the last two years of waiting I finished up the rest of my G.E.'s and have...

I also took Organic Chem at Grossmont. Who is your teacher? I had Mr. Larter and he was a crack up! A little off the wall but we loved him!

Oh and thanks for the advice and the luck rocken mom! :nuke: I hope it happens for me soon!

I know! It certainly does feel like it is never going to get there, but patience is key! So what have you been doing while you've been waiting? When do you turn your nursing packet in to SDSU? Or have you already? I also went there for an advising me...

Hey craziechiq- Unfortunately I am not on any other waiting lists. How about you? And in regards to the other post I have done all of my research on National and Maric, and didn't feel like it was right for me. I took tours and spoke with representat...

Hello everyone- I'm new to this website, and came across this discussion and was intrigued! I have been on the wait list at Grossmont since Jan 2007. I took my TEAS Oct 2008 and was hoping for a Spring 2009 acceptance. . . No such luck It's becoming...
