  1. Is it a waste of time to become an LVN first?

    nicole8584 replied to envelope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure where you live, but I've heard here in California they are phasing out a lot of LVN's and using fewer RN's for the same work to save money. Just keep in mind what the job opportunities...

  2. What's the best Teas study guide book as of 2011 in your opinion?

    nicole8584 replied to sour's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used the ati study book and both practice test forms. I felt they were all very helpful. I took the practice tests the last 2 days before I took the test, and I felt it helped me get in the...

  3. New TEAS V Science Section

    nicole8584 replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You can totally do it :) As for the topics, I'm sorry- I really couldn't tell you; I haven't thought about them since taking the test 2 months ago. I think you will do better the more you practice...

  6. Cal State East Bay fall of 2012

    nicole8584 replied to Star1278's topic in California Nursing

    I took it online, but it would have been nice to actually cross off answers if they let you do that on the paper version. I thought it was very similar to the ati book. The science is just hard to...

  7. Teas V Math

    nicole8584 replied to vanny815's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just used the ati book. It covers all of the basic concepts you'll need to know. Just never use a calculator when you practice! You won't get one on the

  8. Sac State Spring 2012 applicants

    nicole8584 replied to nicole8584's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So the lowest number of points someone had and still got in was 58? That does look good for us. I know what you mean about getting your hopes up; though, it's a little hard not to when we have that...

  9. New TEAS V Science Section

    nicole8584 replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    JZ12, I took the test at Cal State Sacramento in the very beginning of August. The reading section had several parts where you read a story or whatnot and answered 7 or 8 questions about it - the...

    nicole8584 replied to EllTee2B's topic in California Nursing

  13. CSU Sacramento's BSN program and Sonoma State's FNP program?

    nicole8584 replied to heartsoarr's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Mossback, I am applying for Sac State's BSN program for this spring. I have a 4.0 in the prereqs, 3.95 overall gpa, and 91.3% on the TEAS, so I am feeling optimistic about my chances. Did you...

  14. Cal State East Bay fall of 2012

    nicole8584 replied to Star1278's topic in California Nursing

    The ati study book is the only book I used to study, even though I had borrowed a couple others. I figured my best shot was to use the book written by the same company that makes the tests. The only...

  15. Spring 2012 at Sac State (CSUS)

    nicole8584 replied to sacnurse's topic in California Nursing

    Side note- If it makes you feel better about the ati study book, that is the only book I used to study, even though I had borrowed a couple others. I figured my best shot was to use the book written...

  16. Spring 2012 at Sac State (CSUS)

    nicole8584 replied to sacnurse's topic in California Nursing

    I would say it is pretty similar. I mean, the science questions won't be the same, and some of the concepts will be different for sure, but the problem is that the science section covers far more...

    nicole8584 replied to itsmeehlizie's topic in California Nursing

    I just applied for spring 2012. itsmeehlizie are you currently taking classes at sac? If so, how do you like it so far? I will be transferring from the Bay Area if I am

  18. Spring 2012 at Sac State (CSUS)

    nicole8584 replied to sacnurse's topic in California Nursing

    Hey sacnurse- I think I just replied to you on another post :) but anyways, I'm also applying for spring 2012 at sac. They haven't posted any stats for this fall's applicants sadly. I got 91.3% on...

    nicole8584 replied to itsmeehlizie's topic in California Nursing

    nicole8584 replied to sacnurse's topic in California Nursing

    Hi! I'm also applying for the Spring 2012 semester. They have applicant stats posted on their website, which are very helpful to gauge your chances. From what I can tell, they usually end up taking...

  21. Sacramento Nursing Schools?

    nicole8584 replied to Vanescafe's topic in California Nursing

    CSUS is probably the best. I'm trying to get in for spring 2012. It's all a point system, and they accept twice a year which is awesome :) If you can, go for a BSN. I keep hearing hospitals almost...

  22. Cal State East Bay fall of 2012

    nicole8584 replied to Star1278's topic in California Nursing

    Hi Nia :) I will be applying to east bay for fall 2012 if I don't get into Sac state's program for this spring. As far as the teas go, I'd say you will need to score in the 90's to have a good...

  24. do some of the online practice ques wind up on TEAV V?

    nicole8584 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There will be a good number of the same concepts that are on the practice tests. Never the same exact question, but if you can do well on those, you will likely do even better on the real test....

  25. Best book to you to study for TEAS exam

    nicole8584 replied to slove0828's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, go for the ATI book. It was really helpful. The online practice tests were great too. It won't take you months to get through the whole book and know it well, but it never hurts to start...
