One of my classmates just got hired into NICU yesterday, not sure how many positions were open though!

10/14 or 10/28

In San Diego I think it's also really important who you know. Join professional organizations. Since you're interested in NICU maybe join AWOHNN (or whatever NICU organization is out there) and go to the San Diego chapter meetings so you can meet nur...

Have you heard anything back? I interviewed for BMT today and was told they were making a decision Friday. Wondering if any of the other units have made hires yet!

Has anyone applied for new grad positions for the October start?

I'm coming from rancho penasquitos So it's only about a 45-50 minute drive but it gets old real fast. And you can definitely get away with a part time job the first semester. I'm looking into finding one

I'm already sick of this drive and it's only week 2!!!

Same thing happened to me!!! I took the online practice exam and got a 72! I freaked out, but ended up scoring a 93 on the real exam. The online practice exam was crazy hard.

I got a 93 overall on the TEAS. I studied like a maniac the week before I took the exam. Buy the ATI study guide AND the two online practice exams. From my experience, the practice exams in the book were easier than the real thing, and the online pra...

Yeah everyone gets a different version of the exam, but your score is adjusted based on the difficulty of your particular exam. There's some sort of formula that ATI uses, you can find it on one of the pages of your test score

Yeah, take both. It will give you a good grasp of what types of questions you'll encounter on the TEAS. Do you have the study guide as well? When I was studying for the TEAS, I found the practice exams in the book were easier than the actual exam, an...

I would definitely pay the extra money to get the book from ATI. You also have the option of purchasing two online practice exams. The practice exams in the book are much easier than the actual test, and the practice exams you purchase and take onlin...

Yeah, I would've been okay waiting for spring too. Since I live in Rancho Penasquitos I figured if I got in for spring there would be a chance that I would get the San Marcos campus which is sooo much closer than Temecula. I would definitely go for t...

When in August is your class supposed to be over? I'm not sure if the cohort is filled yet, but the week before I got my acceptance email (like two weeks ago), I emailed advising and asked if the cohort was full. When they replied back, they said the...

Hi! I applied this past January right before I started my last semester of pre-reqs. I sent in my official transcript about 2 weeks ago (which completed my file) and got an email about a week later saying I had been accepted for fall. Physiology is o...

You would know better than anyone if you can handle that course load. Last semester I took anatomy, physiology, and microbiology at the same time, all with labs. My advisor and every single one of my professors and classmates told me it was a bad ide...

I just got accepted to Cal state San Marcos' ABSN program. My undergrad GPA was a 2.82, so pretty low by nursing school standards. Luckily I was a philosophy major so I ended up taking most of the nursing school pre-reqs (anatomy, physio, micro, chem...

Nevermind, I received my acceptance email today for fall! Yay!!! Has anyone else heard for fall? So exciting!! :)

So I went to hand-deliver my last transcript to extended learning today. When I got home I emailed one of the advisors to ask if the fall 2012 cohort was full. I was told that it's very close to being filled and that the applications they are now rec...

This is so stressful! I'm gonna be finishing my last pre-reqs in the next two weeks but am worried that my official transcripts won't be ready in time for fall admissions. I've already submitted my teas scores and other transcripts, they are just wai...

Has anyone heard anything about the Fall 2012 cohort? I just got my evaluation in the mail a few weeks ago and I'll be finishing up my last 3 pre-nursing prereqs by the middle of May. I'm a little concerned that my official transcripts won't be ready...

I applied! I'm taking anatomy, physio, and micro this semester! I'm concerned that my final transcripts won't be ready in time for the fall cohort, but it hasn't seemed to be a problem for people in past cohorts. Where are you taking micro and a&...

I actually only took one of the assessments. I had a friend who bought two, but only took one so she let me use her second one. I'm gonna guess they are pretty similar, but it couldn't hurt to take both!

I started studying about a week before I took the TEAS, but right after I finished my bio and chem finals, so the info from those classes was still pretty fresh. I only used the ATI study manual and the online practice tests through ATI. The practice...
