  1. Sending Transcripts to Nursing Schools

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to jjic3982's topic in California Nursing

    I am in the same boat. I did engineering at cal poly and ended up giving up as I got layed off. Bad year for me. I went from a 3.5 to a 2.8 so I mean luckily most schools just look at pre req grades...

  4. Chronic lateness- what is that about?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    I love the people who are 10 or more mins late and live right down the street. I dont understand it

  5. ADN or BSN? Which Nursing school is better in CA?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to bebekyc's topic in California Nursing

    I recommend getting BSN. Both degrees are good, no doubt about it but with the abundance of nurses, employers are allowed to be picky for who they hire. That being said, don't go to a private school...

  6. Want to get my BSN, but beginning to get discouraged

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why on earth would you need physics? That's just ridiculous! Ans you don't need calculus either. Are going for engineering? Lol I would see a new advisor. They don't seem to know what they are...

  7. Want to get my BSN, but beginning to get discouraged

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on your area. here in southern California, BSN is pretty much required since there are only a handful of BSN programs and about double or triple the amount of ADN programs. the way...

  8. Realist vs Optimist

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. I'm realist and I turned out fine!

  9. Hardest Prerequisite

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tough one. Chemistry I love, really easy. Anatomy was a bore with all the memoriation, physio was Meh. Labs were boring. I really enjoyed micro, so much as I am going fo be assisting the instructor...

  10. What type of school did you choose for nursing?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to loulou55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm trying to get into long beach state. It's a state school, its cheaper than private. This school has a great reputation and its been around for years! Also, they have a 2 year BSN option. Kinda...

    DarkBluePhoenix posted a topic in California Nursing

    Hey everyone! I am applying (hopefully) to Cal State Long Beach this fall for spring 2012 admission! Problem is, I heard, that they are NOT taking spring transfers. I know this is really early to be...

  12. CSU LB not accepting spring 2012 transfers?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

    Yes that happened in the fall 2011 class. Very sad and unfair. I have solved that problem by going into CSULB a semester earlier to establish residency. I am trying to get into the school so when I...

  13. CSU LB not accepting spring 2012 transfers?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

    Me too especially since they shut down entry level masters, but they are letting 2nd bachelors degree students compete with us Great even more competition. Do you know when the CA budget comes out for...

  15. CSU LB not accepting spring 2012 transfers?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

    Just CSULB (top choice which is why I am applying to the school a semester early), CSULA, and CSUSB. Maybe apu as last resort since I would have to go their victorville campus. Also some ADNs as a...

  17. New TEAS V Science Section

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree with the one above. I need at least a 90% in all sections, preferably math and overall can it be done? I am taking summer school right now then I have about a 2.5 week period to study and take...

  18. CSU LB not accepting spring 2012 transfers?

    DarkBluePhoenix replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in California Nursing

    See that is why I am going to take statistics this fall along with chem, to replace trig (B) but if they dont take trig then I guess they will take pre cal (C ) You think they will take that over...
