Applying to RN Programs this year...I feel lost.
I don't know what your financial situation is, but I was able to have my application fees waved when I applied to Fresno and Stanislaus. Have you looked into that?

BSN Programs in CA? HELPP
There is an ELM program currently in progress. But, according to Fresno's website, they're no longer accepting applications right now due to a shortage of nursing faculty.

Maybe you should think about waiting a semester. That way you can focus on the healing part first.

Wellsfargo Medcap loan to help with cost of living, i.e. DAYCARE!
I don't have private loans, but I do get federal loans. In addition to grants and scholarships, I receive about $9000/year in subsidized/unsubsidized loans. They get paid out once a semester. I'm in a BSN program, btw. When I did my prereqs at the local community college, loans weren't offered.

Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?
I didn't have any trouble getting into my BSN program. I finished my prereqs at a community college Spring 2012, and then started my program at a CSU the following semester. So I think it just depends on the university.

Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?
I did my prereqs and general ed at a CC, then transferred to Fresno State, where I got in to their BSN program right away. There was no waiting around for me.

What is your program's late-work policy?
I'm in a BSN program (about to start 3rd semester), and so far, late work has not been accepted. Neither is the option to just 'not' turn something in.

Labtop or ipad for nursing school?
Get a laptop. You can't write care plans on an ipad. At least, I haven't been able to.

School supplies?!
Definitely Get a dry erase board! It makes practicing med math a lot funner!

Selling books on Amazon...
Instead of selling it back to Amazon, sell it on Amazon Marketplace. That's what I did with some of my textbooks after this last semester.

Will First Offender keep me out of nursing?
Have you looked into getting it expunged? You will still have to disclose it to the BON but it may help you.

I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??
I'm at fresno state and right now, students are only accepted in the fall to the university. I got into my program Fall 2012 and the cutoff was 3.8 gpa. The Spring cutoff was 3.5 or 3.6. It was a lot lower because only fresno state students were able to apply. If your school is like mine, it would definitely benefit you to transfer.

How do/did you study for Fundamentals of Nursing?
