  1. SFSU/Cañada/Sequoia 2011 admitted students

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    The med dosage class was cheap...I think it's 1 unit and College of San Mateo is currently $26/unit. There is a small booklet (syllabus) for the class that is about $6-7. If you take the section...

  2. SFSU/Cañada/Sequoia 2011 admitted students

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry I've been MIA...for some reason I stopped getting email alerts for this posting. Candice: The SFSU/Sequoia counselor emailed me specifics on titers/TB tests, etc. I'll forward it on to you....

  3. Ohlone College Fall 2011/Spring2012

    CharmantUn replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in California Nursing

    CalState...please consider yourself only waitlisted for Spring 2012...if that. I was number 10 on Ohlone's wait list last year. So from May to January I waited with nervous hope that I would get the...

  4. Am I setting myself up for failure?

    CharmantUn replied to pinkpega's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it! The TEAS test is not difficult, assuming you are a native English speaker. The math questions are easier than the SAT--mostly stuff you learned in middle school. I studied from the...

  5. SFSU/Cañada/Sequoia 2011 admitted students

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Talkinghead, Yay! Another future student! Yes, all the classes are taught at Canada in Redwood City, and many of the clinicals will be held at Sequoia hospital in Redwood City. It's doubtful...

  6. SFSU/Cañada/Sequoia 2011 admitted students

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    The med dosage class, Nursing 610, is only two days and is offered on a weekend at the end of July--that might be doable with your work schedule. The optional textbook for that class, Dimensional...

  7. SFSU/Cañada/Sequoia 2011 admitted students

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Candice! I don't know that the books cost more, but the tuition certainly is more because we're classified as "SFSU extension." For the Canada program, it's $300/unit. So, the first semester,...

  8. pathophysiology- looking for one? Bay area students.

    CharmantUn replied to chelle1983's topic in California Nursing

    UCLA extension offers it online for $550. I know that seems like a lot, but it's less than what Samuel Merritt charges. The class was challenging in some respects because you have to teach yourself...

  9. Cost of Classes for SFSU Sequoia/Canada Progra

    CharmantUn replied to lf1158's topic in California Nursing

    Whoa. Thanks for the heads up, emsguy. I definitely do not recall them disclosing that the Sequoia program costs more than the regular one while at the informational meeting last year. So, if the...

  10. Starting Ohlone Fall 2010/Spring 2011

    CharmantUn replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks Sheilam! Very glad I'm not alone out there. I took a success strategies in nursing school class at College of San Mateo a couple weeks ago. It scared me a bit--almost thinking 6 months isn't...

  11. Starting Ohlone Fall 2010/Spring 2011

    CharmantUn posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello all, The boards have been a bit quiet since Ohlone sent out their acceptance/wait list emails in April. I'd like to get to know anyone who will be starting Ohlone in the Fall or Spring. I'm...

  12. Required Classes for Nursing School

    CharmantUn replied to my_purpose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One class I haven't seen posted in this thread is Pathophysiology. It appears most ASN programs incorporate it into their Med-Surg classes, but don't have it as a stand alone class, let alone as a...

  13. CNA jobs this summer for new grad in Bay Area?

    CharmantUn replied to sixthwannabe's topic in California Nursing

    That may be a bit of a pipe dream to think you'll get a CNA job that quickly. For starters, did your school tell you how loooong it takes to get your CNA certification number from the health...

  14. Alert patients who refuse meds.

    CharmantUn replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone tried/heard of motivational interviewing? It was a CEU/In service training topic at a VA hospital I volunteer for earlier this year. The heart of motivational interviewing is figuring...

  15. Do RN's need special training to read PPD tests?

    CharmantUn replied to SarahM2011's topic in General Nursing

    It's odd. I don't understand why healthcare workers getting a TB vaccine isn't the standard of care in this country--why jump through this hoop on annual basis? I had a physical last year prior to...

  16. Pathophysiology, A & P, Microbiology, Fluid & Electrolyte Resources

    CharmantUn replied to RNin2007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    CampusCollusion.com seemed like an interesting site, but for free flashcards online, Quizlet.com by far is my favorite. There are fewer ads, more users creating more flashcards, better search...

  17. Online Pathophysiology

    CharmantUn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    UCLA extension offers an online pathophysiology class for $550. It's not listed under Sammuel Merrit's list as they would rather force students to pay $1400 for their online class. I'm about to start...

  18. Chabot Fall 2010

    CharmantUn replied to himalayangirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jennafezz: I can't believe your luck! Kindly, promptly turn down Ohlone. I'm number 10 on their waiting list, which is the best lottery result I've had this year. For those of you still waiting for...

  19. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

    CharmantUn replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi-- As others on this forum have posted, you will receive an email with a .pdf attachment from a staff memeber at Ohlone. Since it had an attachment, it wouldn't hurt to check your Spam folder....

  20. Ohlone Fall 2010 - did you get an email?

    CharmantUn replied to sheilam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm number 50 on the waitlist. Ohlone was the third and final place (this go around) that I've been waitlisted. Feeling a little

  21. CCSF nursing lottery

    CharmantUn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure there are 80 slots for applicants who reapplied, and 20 slots for new applicants. I may be

  22. CCSF nursing lottery

    CharmantUn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow...for new applicants that came out to a 3.5% chance to get in. Insane. At least returning applicants had an 11% chance. Going out of state for nursing school is starting to sound more and more...

  23. SFSU BSN - Newly Admitted Student

    CharmantUn replied to MJ415's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Congrats! I'm jealous! I'm assuming you're a California resident and that the nursing program is always more than 6 units per semester. In which case, the current fees per semester are $2370. That...

  24. What books helped you prepare for Nursing School?

    CharmantUn replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I've completed all my prereqs, have applied, and just became a CNA. Would it be worthwhile to take a pharmacology or pathophysiology class prior to being accepted in to nursing school? Has anyone...

  25. Anyone heard from College of San Mateo yet?

    CharmantUn replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I thought I had it bad when I received a letter on April 13th saying I was number 42 on the wait list. 200??? That's insane. I recently took Nursing 666 Careers in Nursing at CSM. The...
