  1. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I need to work and have been looking for a part-time position at a hospital for months now and haven't found anything yet. My plan is to be working as a CNA after our first semester of NS, but during...

  2. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    YAY!!! I'm so happy for you lauraline! We will be going through it together! Christina417, I live in Pacheco, so if you do go to CCSF, we could possibly carpool for clinicals :-) Volleygirl, I'm...

  3. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    WranglerRN replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 36 when I started my pre-reqs part-time while I worked full-time. I finished pre-reqs last December at 39 & applied to 2 ADN programs this past January. I received 2 acceptance letters right...

  4. Horrible Professor!

    WranglerRN replied to phoenixnim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I, too, very much agree with this statement. As older students, we have experienced real life unfairness in all its glory and can honestly and unbiasedly say that bad teachers ARE to blame when they...

  5. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I can confirm that they call if a spot opens up. I got a call today offering me a spot for this fall (I'm already in for spring 2014). I was at work so I couldn't take the call at the time. The...

  6. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Althought I took mine at NVC, I believe they are mostly (if not all) administered using the same procedures. It is computerized; they provide scratch paper, but I found I barely used it; memorizing...

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Well, to get an idea of their schedule, look at this year's spring schedule for the nursing program which is posted on the website in the nursing department

  8. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I think you both have a really good chance of being in for spring. I bet at least 20 people will decline. I wonder if they will use the standby list to fill in for fall declines or if they will offer...

    I got my letter today! Spring 2014 *happy dance*

  10. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats lizrose! & yay that letters are definitely starting to get out! I'm in the 70s so I'm hoping the letters for spring 2014 go out soon

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I haven't received anything yet and I already checked my mail today. Ugh, I think they like doing this to us,

  12. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I also took the TEAS V already because NVC requires taking it before applying. If you did well in your pre-reqs, you'll do fine on the TEAS. However, using the ATI study manual is the way to go. It...

  13. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Not yet for me. I run to the mailbox every day hoping it's there. sigh. In looking back at last years posts (which is how I found out when the lotter results would be), letters didn't start arriving...

  14. Starting Nursing school with a criminal record!?

    WranglerRN replied to FranciscoMireles's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There are many threads here on AN that can help give you some insight on this topic. Look under General Nursing, Nurses/Recovery. It seems to all depend on the offense, how much time has passed, and...

  15. I feel like the biggest idiot.

    WranglerRN replied to M-Roc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't get discouraged. I got a C in Anatomy because our teacher gave us timed lab tests in addition to written tests. I aced the written tests, but failed every timed test because I wasn't good at...

  16. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    NVC is Napa Valley College. Another plus about NVC is that they have a partnership with Sonoma State University which allows you to begin your BSN classes after your first semester of the ADN...

  17. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I might not be going to CCSF after all. I got my acceptance letter for the waitlist at NVC. It's much closer to me than SF, so I'm leaning toward that one, even though I might not start until Fall...

  18. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I also already took the TEAS V. I agree with volleygirl89, if you study a moderate amount and have already finished your pre-reqs, you'll do fine. And yes, people can get disqualified for so many...

  19. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks and congrats to you lauraline & volleygirl too!!! If you look early in this discussion, someone in last year's lottery said they were offered a spot this January and they're number was in...

  22. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    To Katrina Mahl: I'm so sorry for all you have been through. Understandably you are angry for many reasons. Honestly, if I could give my spot to a specific person, I would gladly give it to you. I,...

  25. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    WranglerRN replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Oh, it's nerve-wracking for sure! I'm so lucky that I got picked my first time applying. I also applied to another school that I'm waiting to hear back from, but that one is a waitlist....
