  1. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

    sheilam replied to CalB's topic in California Nursing

    Please excuse any spelling/grammar errors in my above post - I am posting via iPhone and I can never seem to hit the right letters!

  2. Best ADN/BSN program in SFBay? ok to base on NCLEX pass rate?

    sheilam replied to CalB's topic in California Nursing

    HEllo, I must respectfully disagree with EllieBean regarding Ohlone (where I currently attend NS). There is no preference regarding where you love - over half of my class does not live in the...

  3. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

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

    I got into my ADN program on the first try- however, it was a lottery system :) I did not have my CNA cert, but like Sandi said, you can get it after passing your nursing Fundamentals class. However,...

  4. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hello, everyone: I am hoping someone can help me - I just received notification from Merritt College (NOT Samuel Merritt) that I "have been selected as an alternate for admission". When I called to...

  5. Starting Ohlone Fall 2010/Spring 2011

    sheilam replied to CharmantUn's topic in California Nursing

    Hello Charmantun! I was accepted for Spring 2011 - I agree, it's been very quiet here since emails went out. I'll admit, I haven't been doing much in terms of preparation so far - all my prereqs are...

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

    sheilam posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I know it's WAY too early, but I'm just so anxious - has anyone received an acceptance email from Ohlone for fall 2010? Would you please post when you do so I'll know when they've started going...

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

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

    They are taking 20 for fall and 20 for spring - as I understand it, if anyone in the Fall class (#s 1-20) declines, they move people in the Spring class (#s 21-40) up to fall. They will then move...

  9. Phlebotomy and/or EKG tech cert before starting nursing school?

    sheilam replied to Reebles's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's a great question! I start nursing school next Spring, so if others recommend this, I would love to know as well. Thanks for posting it,

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

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

    Good luck! What number are you on the waitlist? We know at least one person who got in isn't going (jennafez from an earlier post I think). I'll keep my fingers crossed for

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

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

    Wow Jennafez - congradulations on both counts? Did it look like they sent a mass email to all winners (I'm just hoping that maybe she just hasn't sent mine yet....) Good luck!

  14. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    According to the Board of RN website, 24 sat for the NCLEX in 2009, and about 95% passed (about 23 people). I think this means that 24 people graduated, because you gotta graduate to take the NCLEX,...

  15. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks, Kay26 - you're right. It's just so hard in the face of rejection... I also applied to CCSF (didn't get in ), Chabot (I am out of district, so the best I can hope for is a high number...

  16. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    I'll see you both there. I'm trying really hard to stay positive - a Merritt counselor told me thar last year there were 500 total applicants - 175 were given a spot, but only 95 accepted.... i just...

  17. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    I've heard that too, kay26 - but I believe if you work hard and really want it, it will work. :) (though i'm starting to think that doesn't quite apply to lottery situations!) I'll definitely see you...

  18. Nervous anticipation turns to... unpleasantness

    sheilam replied to Roberta88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Aubs - I applied to Ohlone, chabot, CCSF and Merritt. I was in the 300s for CCSF and am now tearing my hair out about Merritt. Because I don't live in district, I'm not holding out too much...

  19. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

  21. Merritt College ADN Program Fall 2010 - What does "Alternate" mean????

    sheilam replied to sheilam's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks Kay26. It's just such a nervewracking time, and it would really help to at least know I have some chance of getting into a program. Congratulations on your acceptance - I'd be lying if I said...

  22. Nervous anticipation turns to... unpleasantness

    sheilam replied to Roberta88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly how you feel! I too got straight A's in my prereqs, and am a planner. So far I got one rejection and one "alternate" status - and to make it more frustrating, the school for which I am...

    sheilam replied to confusedns's topic in California Nursing
