    StayingCalm replied to sherikhawo's topic in General Students

    In order to know for sure, you should file a FAFSA electronically. Your info will be used to generate the EFC (expected family contribution) and sent to the school(s) of your choosing. School...

  4. Associates vs. Bachelors

    StayingCalm replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This article gives a pretty good explanation. I believe BSN have more classes in general, including prerequisites. It does seem more & more common these days to have a BSN, even for those not...

  5. TEAS Study guide?

    StayingCalm replied to Arielle239's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Might be a good idea to check craigslist or ebay if you're only interested in the book. I found a slightly used TEAS study manual version 3.0/4.0 on craigslist for $10. I used TEAS study manual &...

  6. TEAS Pre-entrance exam

    StayingCalm replied to Sjsmith92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS (version 3/4) in February & from what I remember, there weren't many anatomy & physiology related questions. I remember there were questions on biology, tectonic plate, rocks,...

    StayingCalm replied to AeroNat13's topic in California Nursing

    Although I'm not sure about the inclusion of ebooks, I did hear during orientation that bookstore bundle includes all texts on the list. I also remember hearing that we would have the option of buying...

  8. CSULB EL-MSN Fall 2010 Applicants

    StayingCalm replied to AeroNat13's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not in the EL-MSN program (BSN starting this fall) but have the same list of texts as you all. According to my research & calculations, if you get the Elsevier package (6 books + ebooks) and...

    StayingCalm replied to matthewandrew's topic in California Nursing

    Anyone had a chance to stop by the university bookstore & find out exactly how much our textbooks

  10. A little bit of doubt

    StayingCalm replied to DizziJ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly how you feel. I attended community college right after high school & didn't do so well with college courses because 1) I wasn't ready / mature enough 2) my high school didn't...

  11. Second bachelors degree in nursing advice!!

    StayingCalm replied to cnicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as California goes, you can take prerequisite classes anywhere as long as they're transferable. If you're from CA, you can use assist.org to find out whether a particular class is transferable...

  12. Pre-reqs and fall 2011 application

    StayingCalm replied to Bidisha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you'll be applying to several schools, including out of state schools, and it's definitely a smart thing to do. Considering the tuition that you'll be paying as an out-of-state student,...

  13. Confused on school to transfer too for BSN in Southern California

    StayingCalm replied to MaybeMaybenot529's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CA board of nursing has a list of approved nursing programs, including BSN programs. There are plenty of CSUs in SoCal that you can transfer to, after completing your prerequisite

  14. Pre-reqs and fall 2011 application

    StayingCalm replied to Bidisha's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure what state(s) you're referring to. I know some CA state universities (SF state being one of them) allow their traditional BSN applicants to have 1 prerequisite class in progress. However in...

  15. When to take the Teas test?

    StayingCalm replied to HopefulNurse90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I know in CA, CSU & most other 4 year universities tend to want your TEAS score before deciding whether you're accepted, rejected, or placed on the alternate list. Community colleges...

  16. Encouragement, anyone?

    StayingCalm replied to ssbarn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "Sir John Eccles has stated his feelings on the infinite potential of the human brain, and he won the Noble prize. Humans have an unlimited capacity to learn. Unlike computers, no human brain has ever...

  18. Cal State East Bay acceptance letters for Fall 2010??

    StayingCalm replied to lakaha's topic in California Nursing

    Typically, nursing schools will want IgG titers. I did IgM titers a few years ago so they're no longer

  19. Attending WestCoast University.. I need some info?

    StayingCalm replied to tracey87's topic in California Nursing

    I have a friend in SoCal, who's prerequisite classes are expiring soon & his grades are not very competitive. He is an LVN, who's seriously considering WCU BSN program and is set to take the HESI...

  20. What did you do while waiting to get in to NS?

    StayingCalm replied to FirefightersWife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're planning on obtaining a BSN (or higher) down the road, perhaps you can work on your lower division GE classes if you haven't done so already. If speaking a second language or having health...

  21. Financial Aid Question

    StayingCalm replied to mamayogibear's topic in California Nursing

    If I'm not mistaken, one can receive pell grant up to 90 semester units (at least that's the policy at my community college). Once 90 semester unit is reached, he/she is no longer eligible. But I...

  22. Wanting my bsn really bad.. but may not be possible

    StayingCalm replied to Mada87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you want something bad enough, anything is possible. Like yourself, I was not a serious student years ago. Before I started nursing prerequisite classes (and a few lower division GE...

  23. Need Advice...schedule conflict!

    StayingCalm replied to alyssa*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depending on which schools you're referring to, I don't think the "2 year wait rule" is true because I got into a SoCal CSU BSN program on the first try. I agree with caliotter3 as well, that CNA...

    StayingCalm replied to amyleadon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking general psychology, general sociology, and philosophy right now (all online) and it's been pretty easy & laid back. Classes are pretty organized and assignments & due dates are all...

    StayingCalm replied to matthewandrew's topic in California Nursing

    mmm62892 - I agree with with RABOEHM, slow & steady wins the race. When it comes to nursing school acceptance, GPA is super important in most cases. You should give yourself a good medical...
