  1. Should I Go To Galen (Not Accredited)

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to dcranmer311's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should stick with going to a community college. Accreditation is very important and @least your credits will transfer if you ever want to advance. Personally I'd stay away from any...

  2. Do I take the class over again?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how your school is, but the program I was accepted to penalizes you for retaking a class and that knocks points off your app, whether you had a good grade or not. Honestly, if it were me...

  3. Nursing school and work??

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to doreenstarr1's topic in General Students

    I believe it's doable and not impossible. Some people have to work. I currently work weekends as a CNA and I plan on doing that throughout my BSN program, which starts this fall. 1st semester all my...

  4. Constructing a backup plan if I don't get in...

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to screaminraider06's topic in General Students

    That's way too much money for a nursing program and I'd say stay far away from a school like that. Especially if their accreditation is iffy, they are a for-profit school. Apply to both the ADN and...

  5. Working to become more competitive - advice needed

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Alana R.'s topic in General Students

    A lot of people say they want @ least a yr of healthcare experience. But since you have a steady job it's probably better that you keep it. Maybe try volunteering @ a hospital in the Summers. Sorry I...

  6. what school are you going to?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Live.&.Learn's topic in General Students

    Congratulations!!!! I'll be starting the BSN program @ California State University,

  7. 4-week course? Can I do it? Nope...

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it would all depend on the type of learner you are. I took anatomy in the summer which was 6 wks long. My counselor was against me taking any sciences in the summer but I stuck with it and...

  8. How to deal with unsupportive people.

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Malpal23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only you can live your life. If this is what you want to do go for it. There's a quote that I live by and it says, "Don't let negative people determine your level of success." You can think about all...

  9. 24th Alternate.. tell me there's still hope

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to caausbon01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to solsen7070's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to SEW94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow you are lucky you have a choice, my school required both lol. There are some chem concepts that apply to nursing, but Biology is better to take because it will better prepare you for micro,...

  13. How important is Chemistry in the long run?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Aejeck's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take organic/biochem class for my program and I'd say that acid/bases and mixtures/ dilution type concepts will come up in nursing. And I'm pretty sure pharmacology will have that material...

  15. Any applicants for Stanislaus Fall 2012

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to miketbp's topic in California Nursing

  16. Med math test at start of nursing school?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to Britmum's topic in General Students

  18. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh and another thing, don't get discouraged if initially you aren't accepted and the program waitlists you or gives you an alternate #. I say that because my program only accepts 30 people and I was...

  19. How many Nursing schools did you apply to?

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to only 2 schools here in central California, 1 ASN and a BSN. I was accepted to the BSN and my overall gpa was 3.8. Every school is different but apply to all the schools that you qualify...

  20. Microbiology...Should I Stay or Should I Go???

    Cali_Nurse_209 replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since micro is a pre req, therefore required, then I'd take micro. I can understand your are worried about cramming but it seems like you would do well in the summer taking it. I would suggest that if...
