    Thanks to the decision makers in Albany!

    Coriander replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    That makes me so sad... I feel so badly for the wonderful nurses with years of experience who were canned just because they had three letters after their name instead of two. My sister-in-law has...

    Considering nursing school, please advise

    Coriander replied to dmes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mzchas has some great advice for you. I went back to school at 32. I didn't know if I could do it. Things will slowly start to come back and you will gain confidence as you move through your courses....

    The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    Coriander replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

    I worked at a LTC for over a month before anyone ever bothered telling me that one of my residents had scabies, and that was after I'd questioned it several times. We ALL ended up with

    Coriander replied to ruddergrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm currently 35 years old, and returned to college at 32. I thought the same as you, that I was so far removed from any classes that I wouldn't remember anything at all. I started with...

    SDSU Fall 2010 BSN program

    Coriander replied to Jerricaberri's topic in California Nursing

    Thank you :) They will wait until your grades are turned in to award you points for those classes you still need. For the Fall, the point cut-off was 72, and for the Spring it was 70. (I think.) I...

    Coriander replied to elacer08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    elacer, I'm attending SDSU - I was turned down for the Fall but made it in for the Spring. I will share this... my cumulative GPA was less than yours. I think they weigh the pre-reqs heavier than...

    return student with low gpa

    Coriander replied to ljb83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went back to school with a 1.32 GPA. Those lovely numbers were from when I was 18 and really stupid, so happy to be out of my parents' grasp that I just didn't go to school. I returned to college...

    Coriander replied to elacer08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I am. :) I was accepted for this Spring, and start classes on Thursday. I know I'll have to review everything like crazy - it seems like forever ago that I took those classes! Your GPA sounds...

    SDSU Fall 2010 BSN program

    Coriander replied to Jerricaberri's topic in California Nursing

    As someone who had transcripts lost by SDSU's main office, I advise you seriously, if at all possible, to walk it in and have it signed off in person. Sometimes the main post office there on campus...

    Coriander replied to elacer08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm flipping through my pathophysiology book, and I can tell you right now that I'll be hauling out the physio textbook I kept. It's a good review, but it's more to the point. If you kept your...

    volunteering for nursing school

    Coriander replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in General Students

    Hi! I think the CSU system is accepting either work experience or volunteer experience. There is a definite hour requirement, so check with your school to make sure. :) I think it's wonderful that you...

    Letter of recommendation requirement for CSUs?

    Coriander replied to chiinkz86's topic in California Nursing

    SDSU did not require one, but I think it might be a good idea to have one in your file just in case. There might be a time where there is a cut off and it's between you and another person, and that...

    Taking Notes - By hand or by Laptop?

    Coriander replied to SerenePeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I handwrite my notes - if I type I don't put as much mindful attention into what I'm writing. When I get home I will usually type them up or rewrite them. Hearing an entire classroom using laptops is...

    Nursing admission essay..Is military experience good to write about?

    Coriander replied to jreneex2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I absolutely think that you should include your military experience in your essay. Being in the military takes dedication and a LOT of self-discipline. I learned a lot about that in the Navy Reserves....
