    Cortisol replied to lliu1109's topic in California Nursing

    Monmon87, From what I have seen in past threads about Samuel Merritt is that interviews are offered on more than one date. From the way it sounded, interviews were offered in "waves". I have not...

  7. Nutrition

    Cortisol replied to NursingN.C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Naznazy, I was told the same thing about the TEAS. :) I was just wondering if there is more too it than that. To private message, I think you must have made a certain number of

  10. New TEAS V Science Section

    Cortisol replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm sure you did great! You will probably get your results in less than 48 hours. I got mine the day after my exam (but in the evening).

  11. New TEAS V Science Section

    Cortisol replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I found the McGraw-Hill Nursing School Entrance Test book very helpful. I also used the Kaplan review

  12. Study guide for the Kaplan Nursing Exam??

    Cortisol replied to Poodlemom73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I know, there is only one Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam, and there is only one prep book published by Kaplan for that exam. I paid around $20 for the book, and it was the ONLY book I...

  13. Left....or right?

    Cortisol replied to Toomuchcoffee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once you have your BSN, most people won't care if you did it at a school in the UC system, the state system, or a private university. As long as the programs are accredited, you shouldn't have any...

  14. Study guide for the Kaplan Nursing Exam??

    Cortisol replied to Poodlemom73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kaplan has one review book that is specific to the exam, but other nursing school entrance exam prep materials may be helpful. The Kaplan book is a great reflection of the Kaplan Nursing School...

    Cortisol replied to NellieOlsen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think that the amount of time you spend studying is very much dependent on your past academic and test-taking abilities along with where you are in your course progression. The sooner you can start...

  16. Help me prepare for Anatomy

    Cortisol replied to lvnibclc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sometimes I purchase the previous edition of the book online (ie the class uses the 9th edition, so I purchase the 8th). This has saved me a ton of $$$. You may want to email the instructor, explain...

    Cortisol replied to BeachsideNic's topic in General Students

    I like to study alone and then with a study partner. It is imperative to find a study partner who it at your level. You don't want them to waste their time explaining things to you or for you to be...

  22. Best to take Phys right after Anatomy?
