  2. My frustration with inconsiderate classmates

    In my physiology class I had these 2 older ladies (late 30s) that always seemed to be the rudest. They would wear scrubs to class and were a little stuck up...i hope scrubs don't do that to me... but...

    Theres only 30 questions on the science portion of the TEAS and it covers a little bit of everything...chemistry, physics, physiology, geology, microbiology. Most of my questions were on chemistry and...
  12. CSULB contract /w Long Beach Memorial - Any experience?

    I'm in the same boat with ya. I'm doing the trimester program and being a girl the commitment issue is still the same haha. I've lived in this area all my life and have been anxious to get out and the...
  13. If you just want to get an associates degree in nursing then community college is the way to go. If you want to get your bachelors you're going to have to get that at a private nursing school or a...
  14. Thank you for sharing your story/situation. I start an accelerated BSN program this fall and I'm mentally preparing myself now for the challenge that lies ahead. I always feel encouraged by stories...
  15. My Plan - Would Love Some Input

    It's ideal to get all your general education courses out of the way and get your AA because when you go into a BSN nursing program, your course load will be time consuming as it is. The BSN program...
  16. Long Beach Memorial is currently on a hiring freeze. My mom works at UCI and said there were 100 people applying for just 2 positions. I'm not sure about St. Josephs
  17. New here from So Cal

    If you do decide to go to a junior college or university, I would go with Cal State Long Beach. They accept 90 students which alot compared to some nursing programs. Long Beach Memorial is also giving...
  18. Why is finding a nursing school so hard?

    As far as I know, there is no favoritism for students applying into the nursing program within the institution they are currently enrolled in. Everyone is judged the same...but I could be mistaken....
  19. Why is finding a nursing school so hard?

    What I did was take all my general education courses my first 3 semesters. By the time I started my nursing prereqs I had enough credits to give me priority registration in those hard to get classes....
  20. Just dropped a class :(

    I agree. It's more important to do well in your classes than to rush through it. I'd rather take 1 prereq a semester and get an A than take 3 prereqs and get Bs or Cs. Because you don't want to end up...
  21. cal state long accepts 90 students and they receive anywhere from 275 to 350 applicants depending on the
  22. All white uniforms? Eek...help!!

    Definitely terrified about the white uniform as well...especially being a girl. It makes me want to wear a full body tampon just to be on the safe side. I don't even wear white
  23. I NEED HELP!

    I'm not trying to be mean but you should go into nursing because it's your passion not because of the money. When your taking care of patients you shouldn't have a paycheck on your mind. I would still...
  24. I'm from southern California. I applied to Cypress College (2 year - ADN) and Cal State Long Beach (3 year - BSN). I got accepted into both but my number one choice was CSULB. It was the first time I...
  25. Do you have any other options?
