    Spring 2010 Hopefuls!

    Where are you applying? San Diego State University (have applied) What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission? Acceptance to the main campus, completion of 7 pre-reqs, separate GPAs...

    Smells

    It actually took me several years to decide to go into nursing because I was afraid of smells. I worked in a LTC facility for Alzheimer's patients and within two weeks I was over the smell thing. I'm...
  4. This is an interesting concept. I began volunteering with a hospice in March when I was close to having to have my application in. I waited this long, because the reason I wanted to volunteer was that...
  5. Does anyone have any idea of when we'll hear for Spring? I keep forgetting to ask them when I call or go down

    Feel like crying...need encouragement

    I know that's hard, but don't give up on yourself and your dreams. I'm turning 35 this year and I am hoping for Spring admission to the nursing program. I went back to school at 32. As my parents...

    I am seriously freaking out

    I thought I would be upset about the cats and pig as well, but instead was surprised about the "fakeness" of it all. The cats and pigs are so well preserved that they're stiff and rubbery and not at...

    CSU PRE-REQ QUESTION!!

    Sociology is a required pre-req (kind of redundant phrase there) for the nursing program at SDSU, while anthropology is a lower-div GE class. I would say they'd look at the sociology, but would call...

    Should I just call it QUITS?

    I just wanted to say Congratulations for realizing that you have steps to take. It's a hard road, but keep your goals in
  10. One of the advisers told us to think about declaring another major, and to keep reapplying for schools. This way you might be able to do the Bachelors-to-BSN if they offer that, or do an RN-BSN. I...
  11. First, big hugs. I know it's tough. I was shot down this semester because my pre-req GPA was too low after receiving a C- in Psych 17 years ago. I retook the course, received an A, and now it looks...

    How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

    I have a few friends who have very long hair like I do (bum length), and I always ask them how they wear their hair to work. They usually keep it up in a bun or other updo that is very secure and...

    Humboldt State Nursing

    I am from San Diego, and went to Humboldt after high school. I don't know what it's like 17 years later, but when I was there it was absolutely beautiful. It's rather like walking into a time warp...
  15. that would be me! i'm re-taking a polisci class i miserably failed eons ago, and taking psych351 as well as a few other classes. i'm so happy for you, studentmama :) i wish you all the best this...

    Dont know what to do! Help!?

    If it makes you feel any better, I'll (hopefully) be starting the Nursing program in the Spring and will be almost 38 when I graduate. We're waiting to have kids until that diploma is in my hot...

    Classes start Monday!

    I'm excited for this semester to start as well. My pre-reqs are finished, however I'm getting started on the Upper Division general education courses while I wait to hear if I was accepted for Spring...
  18. I agree with those that suggest you check with your school. Some of my classes were 16 years old but were accepted. However, I didn't have any science courses that long ago, so perhaps those would...

    All the Organic Chem professors have a bad rating

    O-Chem is a tough class, and I suspect many of the rating are from (great descriptive word) disgruntled students. I would go with the professor with the highest of the "grades" and ask for help and...
  23. I spoke with someone there and they said they would be mailing out the rollover applications towards the end of this month. ETA: Oh, misread your question. It might be a good idea to call SDSU...
  24. And a happy congratulations to all of you that made it in. I'm absolutely thrilled for
  25. I just signed in after quite a hiatus and saw this news. I didn't receive a call
