Help!! I have failed my last two tests (f/e and dm and the other was renal and liver disease). I went into the test feeling comfortable about the material. I did PrepU, nclex questions, reviewed powerpoint, streamlined info, etc. And failed. I a...

Thank your your feedback. I feel like I am generally prepared, but the questions are so buried among distractors and i am not real good yet on picking out the actual question. It is so daunting that I have to get 80% on the final in order to pass. ...

I am looking for information on what number of points you had when you applied and did you get in? I am applying next week and I am not holding my breath, but was just wondering. Thanks!

I have gone to grossmont college for pre reqs and my prior degree. You will be fine! We are all nervous as we get started on this journey. My name is Nancy:) see you tomorrow!

I called the school and they said you may wear regular clothes. So, I will probably be wearing nice jeans or capris and a cute short sleeve shirt and I love my flip flops. I would probably wear layers, as it is supposed to be warm outside, which me...

Good question! I am going to have to look in to that

Volunteering at the hospital is the best way to get to know the managers. I worked on a neuro/trauma floor for 4 months and applied for an open position there and followed up with the manager. Because she knew my face and my work ethic, I got hired...

You can do everything but the drug/background part, uniform ordering and sign up for classes. I have CPR and vaccination and am ordering some books this weekend. Be sure to sign up for Amazon student. Good discounts and free shipping for 6 mos and...

I will be attending in the Spring too. They just started Fall 2013 so you can see their classes. If you look in the nursing student handbook online you can see an outline of how classes go. It's pharmacology and fundamentals first and doseage calc...

I am not sure what tge schedule will be like, but you can go on the school website and look at web advisor class schedule and look up NURS 118 through 120 and see what it is for Fall. I would imagine we would follow the same schedule. Congrats in g...

I will transfer after the ADN. I got my cards at Barnes and Noble. Or check amazon. It's by Mosby.

Congrats!! I would say, start working on pharmacology. You can go on Grossmont's Website and look at the online bookstore. Look at the books for NURS 118 and NURS 120 (these are the first two classes and are taken simultaneously). You can get a j...

Thanks. I will also say, don't let the points thing scare you. I hear it was below 70 this time.

I got mine last Friday. Some went out Tuesday. We had until today to accept our seat and then they will send more out?

I have known I wanted to be a nurse since before I graduated high school in 1991. I have always worked full time and at in the early 90s, I had to work and got into the legal field which was easier. Over the years, I took the pre-nursing pre-reqs...

Letters went out Friday for first round acceptance, as did denial letters.

I got into Grossmont ASN Program for Spring 2014. I start in January. Make sure you look at their website, as they are always adding new requirements. Good luck!

Thanks'. I appreciate the heads up!

Thank you!! Are those books specific for Grossmont's program? I do know that Pharm is the first class then theory.

Well.. Lo and behold.... I got in! I am in complete shock and overjoyed! I start in January 2014. August has been a great month! I got hired at local hospital PD nights as a Nursing Assistant and have my foot in the door and am starting RN progra...

I believe the first round of emails went out on Friday. Make sure to check your spam folders. I have another friend who applied and she got an acceptance email on Friday.

I will be 41 when I start in January 2014. It is never too late to start your dream!

hardwrkingmama, what CA CC are you going to? I thought the headline on the grid system says it is all CA Comm guidelines.

Did any of the above posters get in? Distraught, how is your RN journey coming along?

With CA Community colleges, for points calculations, they only take the FIRST attempt score on the TEAS, so re-taking it won't help with the community colleges. The only place to get better grades are retaking a math class, but the best possible is ...
