    smiley616 replied to abbster's topic in California Nursing

    It doesn't hurt to apply when you some have pre-reqs in progress. Some of my peers got accepted into the Samuel Merritt ABSN program with 3 pre-reqs in progress, so it's definitely possible to get...

  3. What was your GPA when you got accepted?

    smiley616 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My gpa (science, pre-req, previous degree, overall) was about 3.5-3.6 when I got accepted! When I first came on this forum, I was very discouraged by the high gpas, but don't fret. There are schools...

    Where are you from? I took my CPR class from Safety Training for $80 in sf. They have multiple locations. But it sounds like Brandie got a really good

    What number are you on the waitlist? From past cohorts, it looks like waitlisters have a good chance on getting in! Don't give up

  8. Transfer from UC to Nursing School ?

    smiley616 replied to orchids1129's topic in California Nursing

    Since you're supposed to send in your transcripts to them, they will see if you had failed a class. Some nursing schools require a B- or higher in a pre-req. Some schools will average the 2 grades,...

    tlsmith29, I applied to the San Mateo campus. It seems like they are notifying the San Mateo applicants. Not sure why though...since Oakland starts before the San Mateo

    Looking through last year's thread for the San Mateo cohort, applicants heard on 3/22. They received calls during the evening time? They may notify us in the evening, so keep your ears

  13. Anatomy and Physio online. CA

    smiley616 replied to janiney77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a hybrid course so it does have in-class labs and such. I would think that most nursing schools would accept it, but then again, some nursing schools may have a different take on what's an...

    I hope those who applied to ABSN Oakland hear soon! That way...they can move onto San Mateo

  15. Anatomy and Physio online. CA

    smiley616 replied to janiney77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely understand how hard it is to get into anatomy/physiology classes. It's a never-ending waitlist! Samuel Merritt offers anatomy & physiology but it's sorta of pricy though ($500+/unit)....

    smiley616 replied to orchids1129's topic in California Nursing

    I'm also a UCD alum with a B.S. in biology. I took the majority of my pre-reqs at UCD. The science classes aren't easy and some of them are quite impacted. MIC101 includes lab so you can opt out of...

    smiley616 replied to kmleonard4's topic in California Nursing

    I'm so anxious to hear the results...I think I'd have to wait 3 more months to hear back about the decisions since I applied for the June cohort. In the meantime, I'm temporarily working as well--...
