Thank you:), want to become nurse, I feel lazy for even posting the question, because they weren't bad at all. p.s. pretend I didn't spell length wrong in my prior post, oops

I need to take my healthstream module exams. Has anyone taken them? I haven't opened them up yet and I'm just wondering if anyone had any insight regarding the lenght and time involved. Are they something that I can plan to be done w/ in a couple hours? Anyone? :)

I wanted section 3 as my first pick, but I must have hit "finish enrolling" a second too soon, because it gave me the "permission#required" message. So I was like, "CRAAAAAAAP!" Went back and tried again immediately but it was already full. Lol. Section 2 full as well. We were alll poised at our keyboards ready on the second. So I quickly put in for section 4 and made it @ 9:018:eek: Are any of you guys in section 4 with me? I wasn't able to enroll in Nurse18. Did anyone else have that problem?

Hi roxy, I called 278-6461 to schedule the drug test. Registration starts @ 9 on Thursday (I thought). Wanttobenurse, I would be very careful about missing any orientation! Even if your transfer orientation is later than our nursing orientation, show up, because it's mandatory and you'll lose your spot if you don't go. That would be sad.

Does anyone know how I erase my comment? I hate to leave a post out there that may leave a bad impression of our school, because it always had such high standards.

Roxy, I don't have anything on the checklist...yet. I do know I'm going to choose the cargo pants though . My mom went to CSUS as well for her BSN (years ago of course), she said that UCDavis was great for the interesting stuff that you won't usually get to see at Sutter General. However, Sutter General would be better for learning how to take care of the more common ailments and emergencies. So...I guess it depends on what you're thinking you'd like to specialize in. I thought we'd be doing rotations at both. I saw that we have access now to the Sacramento State Nursing Sourcepage on SacCT. I also noticed that there are 80 slots for the classes. Guess they received the funding for 80 students. We never needed to stress; we could have gotten in with much lower GPA's and TEAS scores. I wouldn't be suprised if 80% of applicants made it in (well, that's for 125 applicants, 80 admitted including about 20 alternates). I think you have a good shot at getting in ylime.

Hi ylime, I'm not bilingual -I wish. You can take your TEAS test up to three times for CSUS. I would say to make sure you get accepted next semester that you should take the time to retake some of your prereqs&coreqs. Even retaking the ones with the lowest grades and putting them in progress could help lift your GPA. In the past I would have said there was no way anyone could get in with the stats you put up (no offense because they are good, but not normally enough for the impacted BSN programs), but it looks like you have a fighting chance at alt#20. You can do it. Good luck!!:heartbeat

roxy922, lanakopp, vianna: I'm excited to meet you all and get this party started! :hpygrp:Wow, that is a crap load of smiley faces. Lord knows we might as well enjoy this time before the really long days start. Everything is so expensive (which I knew of course), but I wonder if the nursing loans are considered earlier than the stafford loans.... At any rate, I feel slightly lost as to what the lay out of the semester will look like. I did look at the class schedule, but much of it is TBA. Anyone have any insight? Is the Wednesday b4 classes start the only orientation day? :anbd: (I just thought this one was funny.)

Ha! I didn't even think about the 2012 part...I sure hope the world keeps turning, because that would be a heck of a lot of hard work for nada. Lol, I cried too. We're sissies:jester:

I'll see you there!!! Just got my email, almost fainted :eek:even though I knew deep down I'd have it with 83 points. You just never know:uhoh3:. Such a relief!! Sooooooooo happy. Lol, and to be honest, a little nervous. BUT HAPPY!!!

Good info ncaligirl, thank you for taking the time to share it with us:heartbeat

And now it's probably obvious that I'm spending way too much time combing through the net looking for glimpses of insight into what to expect when those emails come our way. Good luck to us both!!!

Hi roxy922, Haha, yes. And I thought your name looked familiar. Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's last email didn't receive a reply (I mean, at least it doesn't feel personal now, lol, ). This process is giving me a dang ulcer.

Yes, I have applied. And of course we are all on pins and needles waiting. Have you heard anything back yet?? Anything about point cut-off or # of apps submitted?

Hi Lanakopp, Did you really hear the possible cut-off point for Spring 2011!?
