  1. Bachelors in Accounting to LPN

    The above poster makes a good point. While you are considering going into nursing, don't give up on finding a better higher paying accounting job. It may be possible for you to find accounting work,...
  2. Bachelors in Accounting to LPN

    You're not too old. I started at 28 too, and also have a previous degree. I felt the same way. I was in an office job where the most I make is $45-55k (this is small beans living in CA). I could earn...
  3. CCSF 2012/2013 acceptance letters

  4. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    They haven't called me yet though. But since I got this letter it's making me think I will at least get a Spring seat. Otherwise, why would they bother inviting me to attend these Summer Bridge...

    @maggie Thanks for sharing how orientation went. Did they talk about the Summer Bridge classes? Is anyone out there planning on attending the Summer Bridge classes? I think it's Medical Math, College...
  8. Continue with business, nursing or both?

    Yes, I think you already have the right idea. Finish your business degree. You already have come so far. You have worked hard for years already, so get that degree you deserve, you are so close. With...

    I haven't heard back either. But I checked in with them at the nursing department office today to make sure I'm not missing anything. They are also sending us another letter with more info. I am also...

    Gratz maggie! Have fun at orientation. Let us know how it goes. And if they mention any news regarding the accreditation issue. I can't wait to hear something soon. I'm going out of the country in...
  12. Help .. Need Advice ASAP !

    If it were me I would do it. It sounds expensive, but it's not unheard of. I also took summer classes last year and paid $500-$700 per unit. I think adding another class is doable. If you know you...
  13. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Thanks for sharing this!! That's great to know they've started calling people. I have my fingers crossed! Now I'm wondering, does this mean if we don't get called to attend the May 16 Fall orientation...
  14. Microbiology Summer 2013

    I did Microbiology including the lab portion over a 5 week summer session. I had class 5 days per week, and I actually enjoyed the fact that it went by so quickly. It forced me to study daily, and I...
  15. Teas V Study Methods

    I just took mine and I got an 85%. I used the ATI manual and the only thing that it was helpful for was the sample material and practice tests. On the other hand it does not really teach the material,...
  16. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    If I hear something I will let you know for sure. It should be a good indication for you, since you are almost right after me on the list. Have a safe trip
  17. Oh man, to live in the dorms again? Sounds tempting but I think I will pass. Sure it would be nice to be in a completely academic environment where I have my own desk and space. But if I remember...
  18. Didn't get in, now what?

    I also applied to schools in the Bay Area. And I hate to say it but I think your feeling is right, your GPA is okay but isn't quite competitive enough for BSN programs. You could keep trying but it's...
  19. Do I need to take chemistry for the TEAVs?

    I just took my TEAS V. Don't need to take chemistry class. There is chemistry on the test but it is high school level chemistry. And it is pretty basic. You will be fine studying the material on your...

  21. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Congrats on passing! Hm, that's interesting. She didn't say much to me. But when I turned my scratch paper in, I asked if there's anything else I need to do. She said no, and that she has my score...
  22. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    Passed my TEAS V today! Thanks everyone for the advice. It wasn't as bad as I thought. But I'm sure glad I studied. Now I just have to wait and see if a spot opens up for me. Anyone else also on...
  23. Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    No that's not stupid. It is very logical I think. I have A's going into my finals. And due to extra credit I can afford to miss class and stuff. Sometimes I slack off and I know I'll still get an A....
  24. Opinions on Becoming a Nurse

    I have 2 live-in caretakers caring for my grandmother who are LVN and CNA whom I've known like family for over 15 years. They were shocked to hear of my career plan to say the least. And I think they...
  25. TEAS V tips?

    As I am studying my ATI guide for the TEAS V I am just wondering... Is it a paper test? Or computerized? Or both? (I'm taking it at CCSF in California, and they didn't specify.) Will they provide...
