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

    Thanks, I have actually looked into CSN and Carson city. One thing the Carson city campus has done is stopped allowing TEAS 5 scores not taken on their campus. My scores were good(79.3) but due to...

  2. Lottery System...How does it work?

    NorCalKid replied to Derls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school (they all seem to be different) They take 1, 1st – 5th time applicant and the rest ate 6th timers. Excluding 6 or 8 spots reserved for veterans every spring. At least that’s how...

    NorCalKid replied to avianale's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    NorCalKid replied to Bess87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lots of good advise above. I would also try to get into the lab as much as possible. My lab was open on weekends and I went every week. Then I was practicing with real bones, the same real bones...

  6. RN with 18 months experience looking to go to San Francisco

    NorCalKid replied to xmelissaleigh's topic in Travel

    Cal train goes into the city. Near ATandT park. There is a Palo Alto station. BART connects with Caltrain in Millbrae I think. If you’re driving it’s not too bad if you’re not going to be...

  7. TEAS 5 only accepted from that school???

    NorCalKid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. TEAS 5 only accepted from that school???

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

    I think you're probably right. Sucks, I have a 4.0 in the sciences and I just got another rejection letter last night. That's 3 semesters now. They are saying it is taking the average student 3...

  11. new grad in the ER?

    NorCalKid posted a topic in General Students

    Just a quick question here. Do ER's usually hire new grads or is that normally reserved for nurses with experience. I know my local hospital seems to require 1yr exp. Is this the norm? Just...

  12. overseas nursing (thailand?)

    NorCalKid replied to cawkazn's topic in Travel

    Disclaimer: This is mostly just opinion with a little internet research and asking friends living in the LOS. My guess would be close to impossible as a nurse working for a Thai company. Not only...

  13. Do you think marijuana should be legalized?

    NorCalKid replied to Blackcat99's topic in Correctional

    Of course that is the case if you legalize it in one little area, or even if they do it in all of California. It will create a prohibition type situation with a huge market and a area where it can be...

    NorCalKid replied to NorCalKid's topic in General Nursing

  15. Non traditional job ideas??

    NorCalKid posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I wasn't sure what section to put this in. I was just hopping to get an idea of where nurses are employed that I might not have thought of. So I would appreciate it if you would add places/kinds...

  16. Taking Microbiology and Micro Lab Separately?

    NorCalKid replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took micro last semester(5 units). The lect. and lab did go together and IMO it would have been harder FOR ME if I took them separate semesters. Some people in the class were on their 3rd...

    NorCalKid replied to humblyMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NorCalKid posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. took the teas test and failed by 4 points.. any universities that don't require this

    NorCalKid replied to kbug11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't help you. But I just took the TEAS this week also. Never heard of taking it before the pre's. Honestly 4 points below passing before learning the stuff seems good. I couldn't have done...

  23. Online Intro Chem class

    NorCalKid replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OK I’ll add my 2 cents. I think it would be tough. I took a regular intro to Chem class in the summer and got a B. It was really hard for me to learn it in a 6 week class. Just to give you an...

    NorCalKid replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students
