  1. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, the letter came yesterday. I'm an alternate with about 6 or 7 others. Here's to hoping a bunch of people decline

  2. A FUMING MAD VENT!

    Birry replied to naenae1979's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at the videos at the www.khanacademy.org. It's like having a private tutor at home, for free, whenever you

  3. Can you "look good" as a nurse?

    Birry replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    I work nights and most of the nurses I work with are fit and trim. I don't know how they do it, but somehow they manage to work nights in a hectic ICU, and remain active enough to keep looking good....

  4. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I'm just going to drive myself crazy with this. I've used three different calculators, converted my quarter units to semester units, etc. and I've gotten 3 different answers. But 2 of them...

  5. First time student to CA CC?

    Birry replied to EstherOliver's topic in California Nursing

    Your college catalogue should show which classes you can take online. My school allows the ones I put in bold on your list online. Talk to a counselor at the college you're going to attend. It sounds...

  6. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right, but I'm not sure how they account for weight. Is a B+ in a 6 unit class worth more than an A- in a 4 unit class? Instead of separate anatomy and physiology classes, I took 3 quarters of...

  7. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know exactly how they calculate it. On my own calculation, I think I have a 10.22:crying2:. But I planned for this. I'll still transfer in the fall and get the other GE classes out of the way....

  8. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excuse me while I go cry myself to

  9. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it's on the website, either in the info packet or the advising slides. i asked if they had info on the last several admission cycles so i could try to see the trend, but they just told me to...

  10. 1st semester nursing student looking for a job to gain more experience

    Birry replied to sunshine!'s topic in California Nursing

    I agree with the unit clerk suggestion. You're pretty much a fly on the wall and you'll really get to see and learn a

  11. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, only the impaction score matters for admission. The lowest score for admission to spring '10 (the most recent go-round) was 10.18, so you'd want something at least higher than that - but it...

  12. ADN vs BSN Dilema

    Birry replied to Eight-31's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for the BSN. As the economy tightens and experienced nurses are delaying retirement, you might have a bit of a leg up over an ADN new grad. Also consider that hospitals with or striving for...

  13. San Jose State, SJSU, 2010 Fall

    Birry replied to supermonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh! I'm going crazy with this waiting. My score is lower than both of yours at 10.2x, but higher than the last cutoff. I hope we all get

  14. Organic chemistry anybody?

    Birry replied to j450n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Use the free instructional videos at the Khan Academy website (http://www.khanacademy.org/). I took o-chem last quarter and got an A, all thanks to this guy's videos. He's also great for some micro,...
