  1. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    As I am preparing for the TEAS V I am just wondering... Is it a paper test? Or computerized? Or both? (I'm taking it at CCSF) Will they provide scratch paper? Do we really need to memorize all the...

  2. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I am worried too. But I haven't had the chance to look into the issue. All I know is the school needs to come up with a plan by June and if its not sufficient they could lose their accreditation. And...

  3. can't take any prereqs- frustrated

    lauraline replied to lykchen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to move Hell and Earth to get into prerequisite classes. The first few semesters I tried, I had to wait for a spot by wait listing and that didn't work because I had no class registration...

  4. A&P 1, microbio, & psychology

    lauraline replied to cannolis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's doable. Go with A&P + Micro + Psych. I think it's likely that the A&P and Micro will have overlapping material. And I think Micro is easier than Chem. I took Micro with lab and...

  5. SFSU vs SJSU

    lauraline replied to haiimdenise's topic in California Nursing

    I have never attended SJSU but I spent a semester and a summer taking prerequisite classes at SFSU. I loved my professors at SFSU. One of them I keep in touch with and she gave me letters of...

  6. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks! I can't wait to get this TEAS V over with next week. I'm studying and so far so good. I'm optimistic I will do fine, but I'm sort of worried that I will become nervous and do bad, and worrying...

  7. Cheater

    lauraline replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is possible that the teacher will pull her aside in private, or just give her a plain F on this test. I wouldn't be surprised if the teacher just didn't want to bring it up during the test or in...

  8. Cheater

    lauraline replied to jvanwoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know someone like this. The person I know has been a cheater all her life and gets away with it because everyone around her is an enabler. No one says No and no one gives her consequences. Don't be...

  9. Need some guidenance here

    lauraline replied to WorkingMama2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it guaranteed that after the 2 year wait you will get a spot in the program? If so, I probably would just wait. LPN programs can be expensive (in my area at least). You could take the free time to...

  10. Prob will end up with low gpa, any hope to getting into Nor Cal program?

    lauraline replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also live in Nor Cal. What schools were you planning on applying to? I recently applied to CCSF and to my surprise I made it on the standby list as #16 in their lottery, so my chances of getting a...

  11. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

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

    I had so much fun in Micro. I loved growing my specimens and watching the little guys through my microscope! I had an A+ all the way through. I thought it was easy. A&P was fun for me too, but...

  12. To buy or to rent?

    lauraline replied to JS88's topic in General Students

    The decision is really up to you. I don't think it's particularly better to buy or rent. Each has its benefits. I usually prefer to buy. Call me geeky, or maybe old fashioned, but there's something...

  13. Considering 2nd degree BSN - Seeking advice

    lauraline replied to StophJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also changing careers. Like you I graduated with an unrelated degree (Criminology and Law), and realized after the fact that law school was not for me. I am choosing to go into nursing because I...

  14. A Newbie Here Looking for a Career Change...

    lauraline replied to nikkijay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, the questions that I have for those willing to share would be: 1) What program(s) did you apply to and where? I applied to a community college ADN program. I am currently on standby by for...

  15. Job Interviews

    lauraline replied to Katniss88's topic in General Students

    Gratz on landing those interviews! If it were me I would wear a suit. Or at least dress pants or a professional looking skirt and a blazer. I would probably wear a nice blouse. And closed toe dress...

  16. getting sick from microbiology

    lauraline replied to mbkgen's topic in General Students

    You won't get sick from micro. There's nothing in micro class that doesn't already exist in the world pretty much everywhere you go. If you are worried just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly....

  17. Studying before classes begin

    lauraline replied to babelinglove33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you get a hold of the syllabus ahead of time? That's what I would do. Then I would study the topics on the syllabus, and take notes as I read through the

  18. How old were you when starting prereqs and did it discourage you?

    lauraline replied to princesax11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was 28 when I started prerequisites. I am 29 now. However, I had completed my English, Math, Psych, and Statistics previously. I just wanted to say how much I admire the people who have...

  19. What class do you think is more important to complete prior to applying?

    lauraline replied to mswtruth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also live in the Bay Area. But I have finished statistics already. So I'm not sure how having it "in progress" works. Where are you applying to? Have you tried UCB Extension classes? They have...

  20. online anatomy class?

    lauraline replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I briefly looked into Anatomy and Physiology online, but realized it wasn't the best idea. A very few nursing programs I was thinking of applying to allowed it, but only if lab was in a classroom. And...

  21. Tips on Saving Money

    lauraline replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    Here's some example things I have done to cut down on food costs. I never buy soda or special drinks, I drink water at every meal. Instead of a $4 box of cookies, I will buy $1.50 celery or bananas,...

  22. Tips on Saving Money

    lauraline replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    Eating a healthy diet has been a random unintentional way I have been saving money too. Instead of buying so many brand name snack foods, I ended up buying lots of whole fruits like apples and...

  23. UCLA Extension Pharmacology

    lauraline replied to eastbay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you tried ratemyprofessor.com? And no I'm not advertising. This is a real response!

  24. Tips on Saving Money

    lauraline replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    I rented and had a roommate for a couple years because I wanted that experience. It was pricey but my parents helped out, and they wanted to make sure it was in a safe community. I also moved back...

  25. Tips on Saving Money

    lauraline replied to zoe92's topic in General Students

    Oh, and be creative with gifts! Mother's Day is coming up. So I thought is share what I did last year. Previous years I spent a lot on Mom, like designer stuff. But last year I had all these discounts...
