  1. CCSF nursing lottery

    Anyone know when the City College of San Francisco is holding their lottery? I keep checking the website and there are no updates. Still waiting on fall 2010
  2. For those of us who were NOT fortunate to get accepted on the first application, please share your experience to help give the rest of us hope. How many times did you apply to the same school, or to...
  3. It's definitely the slowest moving wait list I've encountered yet. In the past six months I've moved up less than 40. Other nursing program director's with wait lists have spoken of going through at...
  4. Older Student/Over 60 years old

    I appreciate your post, and you're fortunate that you haven't been treated differently, but I know many other older students who have, and that's where my advise comes from. You may be one of the...
  5. Older Student/Over 60 years old

    My advice is to walk away and don't look back. During the four rotations I've had so far, I haven't had one instructor actually come in the room with me and TEACH me anything. I used to think they...
  6. Pageburst?

    The nursing books we are required to have are available on pageburst which apparently allows you to download the book content to your laptop. Does anyone know how expensive this is? Are there less...
  7. CSM fall 2011 applicants!

    Is anyone applying to College of San Mateo for this fall? I applied last year and got on the standby or waitlist (whatever it's called!) Hoping to make it this
  8. If you just took patho at Santa Barbara city college, I'd like to buy your book. Pls send me an
  9. Pageburst?

    How much did it cost you? I have orientation this week and the vendor is going to be there selling the "bundle" that consists of both the text and
  10. Pageburst?

    The only thing that concerns me is that we're all expected to have laptops (which I do), and I'm sure we're supposed to have the textbooks downloaded via pageburst for our
  11. Does it get better? I've tried the lightweight, the classic SE II and the cardiac. ALL of them feel uncomfortable in my ears and feels like it's going to punch right through my ear drums. Anyone...
  12. Watches

    That's exactly what I'm looking for. What brand is it? I'd love to get
  13. I've been on the wait list for 2 YEARS now, and I'm still only in the 200's. (248) It's very discouraging, especially since I moved very little in the last posting. Does anyone here have experience...
  14. I'm looking to buy my scrubs and a quality stethoscope (lots of ear cushion) on the cheap. I came across cherokee online but their standard shipping rates nullify any savings on the scrubs. Any...
  15. There is only one program I know of that "guarantees" students on the wait list will start the program. Other than the fact that you're basically in a holding pattern on the wait list, many programs...
  16. Chabot College Fall 2011

    Good luck Angela! I think you're going to get that call. I still haven't gotten anything from
  17. Chabot College Fall 2011

    They have one applicant pool, with the same requirements for both
  18. Hi dreamnurse, this was posted on March 9, 2011 by lil bit country; I am in the program now and it has not improved from what I can tell. The instructors are discouraging, belittling, and...
  19. Anyone took Online Pathophysiology and Pharmacology at SBCC??

    Hi Optimism, Patho is completely self paced. Pharmacology is a bit more structured. The lectures are all posted online, and you read them at your convenience. The tests are timed and are multiple...
  20. Anyone took Online Pathophysiology and Pharmacology at SBCC??

    I took both patho and pharmacology at SBCC. Taking them together should be fine, I don't recall being overwhelmed with work from either. Just FYI, the pharmacology class does not include any dosage...
  21. I applied to CCSF, and am awaiting the lottery in May. Does anyone know how many students they'll be accepting? This is my second year applying there. I've heard good things about this program,...

    The notifications are coming in the mail, not by
  23. CSM fall 2011 applicants!

    You may indeed get your call, I was told they're up to # 15 or 16 on the waitlist, and still waiting for people to submit their TEAS score. Good
  24. Since the schools you're looking into have no recency requirement, then I wouldn't retake them. There are numerous resources available online to refresh your memory. Most programs consider science...
  25. CSM fall 2011 applicants!

    See you at the meeting!! BTW, did you get anything in the mail after they
