Letter of recommendation requirement for CSUs?
No unless its a private school.

Finally Took Teas!!
Because certain programs use your TEAS scores to rank you, while other schools have the "score" you need to get in order to be eligible to their program.

CONFUSED - nursing application deadlines??!
If I were you, I would go to each of the schools websites and look for yourself. I know SJSU is around late Feb-March, but if you really want to go to any of those schools, I would suggest doing the above.

Taking Notes - By hand or by Laptop?
Hand--and like people said, rewrite the notes if needed.

CONFUSED - nursing application deadlines??!
I don't want to be a harbinger of bad news, but you are pretty much screwed if you haven't applied to any of the schools yet (not supplement) because the deadline for apps to most of the schools was like Nov 30, 2009. I don't know about the southern schools but I know for certain SJSU, Sac, SF, etc. normal deadline was Nov.

CSU East Bay Fall 2010
I have a quick question about repeating prerequisites. Does the policy for repeating prerequisites apply to both the science and non-science courses? And when it says: "Repeating courses taken within the last 7 years will result in a deduction of 5 points per repeat from the total eligibility score." does it mean that if you repeated a pre-req 8 years ago then you wouldn't lose 5 points? Thanks for the answers.

CSU East Bay Fall 2010
Thank you very much. I know on the website says that you don't submit your transcripts until the nursing school asks for it, but will I have to send my transcripts to admissions?

help me pick my career plz
I don't think a biology degree takes 8-10 years. Realistically 4-5 years.
-
help me be more confident please. Tips
Do your pre-reqs with GE courses--that will lessen the load for you. If you're not in a rush...take the science pre-reqs one or two at a time depending if you feel capable of doing it. Just get A's in your pre-reqs and do well in your teas test. Don't worry everyone shares this feeling of it becoming harder and harder to get into nursing school as time moves forward, but that's the reality of it.

Lesser of 2 evils: Micro or A&P II in the summer?
Finish your AP II in sequence in the spring and take micro in the summer--it's way easier than anatomy or physio.

CSU East Bay Fall 2010
How is csumentor supposed to help me with my supplement application? The applications asks for a eastbay/hayward email account and I haven't received one yet. In the past, when I have applied to other state colleges, they always issue you an email address. I am just wondering how long till they issue me one.

So Frustrated! (Vent)
But how can I memorize 3 whole chapters of material? Ummm keep studying until you get it...The best advice I can give you is for you to reflect on why you didn't do as well as you wanted. Maybe it's a problem with your studying strategy or maybe you don't "know" your teacher yet. I mean now that you know how your teacher tests you, you'll have a better idea what to expect the next time. BTW, I had to memorize material for 8 chapters in micro and it wasn't bad at all.

HELP PLEASE. cal state prerequisites..
Since you're just entering college, there's pretty much no way you'll get priority over the people who have been at the college already, so it's all up to luck to see how much pre-req classes you can get during a semester.

Mistake in McGraw-Hill's Nursing School Entrance Exams guide?
FYI...there's an s-load of mistakes on there; but, nonetheless, the book explains stuff (especially the English and science portions) way better than the ATI book does.

Are You Volunteering For You or Just For Show?
Depending on the hospital and what they let you do, volunteering can be a complete waste of time. For one, if you're actually doing legitimate (i.e., not pushing patients around in wheelchairs or doing "work" at the information desk) volunteering work then I think it can be useful. But for the most part, since you're a volunteer, the jobs that they can let you do is pretty minimal. I mean you are not going to have any sort of direct patient contact due to the possibility of you acting as a vector and spreading nosocomial infections...and if they do let you do anything...it's pretty much nothing. Thus, a complete waste of time. On the other hand, if they do let you volunteer in lets say a med-surg floor, you can get an idea of how hectic and stressful the environment really is and it kind of gives you insight on what a day may look like. But in my experiences, 99% of the time I feel like I am in the way of a nurse, a doctor,a cna, or a custodial worker when I am volunteering...

Professors who grade based on 'looks'

Min for Admission: 4.0 GPA's + 99%ile TEAS Score
A lot of schools do look at experience in health care; thus, they give you extra points....what I think they need to do is to put less emphasis on the teas test because you can have a 4.0 and score in the 70th percentile and be around the same level as someone with like a 3.3 who scored in the 95th percentile. I actually think they should give more emphasis on overall GPA because those classes are like 10x easier than the pre-req courses...anyways, in California, it seems like the minimum for admission is 4.0 gpa, super high score on the teas, bilingual, and some direct patient contact either through volunteer or health care work...so it seems like this is already coming true.
