    Gratz on the acceptance! I have become obsessed with coupons! Now I never make any purchases unless I have some sort if coupon, coupon code, or at least some sort of sale. I have coupon apps on my...

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

    Yay! Hello fellow anteater alumni :) Check out USF. University of San Francisco (USF) - MSN Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) for Non-nurse I graduated from UCI as a Crim/Law major. Nursing is going to be...

  3. Will these grades get me in the ADN program or not?

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

    It depends on your school and what area you live in. Here in Nor Cal most of the ADN programs are lottery based. So, as long as you have B's in the science prerequisites, and pass the rest, and have...

  4. Taking A&P during the summer... With a 3 week old!

    lauraline replied to Taylor1432's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, congratulations. I envy you!!! I think the timing of this could be on your side. So many people try to conceive and are unable to for months and months--imagine that while planning around sending...

  5. Going back for ADN

    lauraline replied to mabear3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That doesn't sound too bad if its only the A&P and Micro. At least you don't have to go through all the other prerequisites. Definitely go for it. Sounds like the timing is right with the ages of...

  6. Going back for ADN

    lauraline replied to mabear3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most of my ADN and BSN programs where I live require that you took your science classes within the last 7 years. So I would definitely get the specifics on that from your schools. Have you thought...

  7. Essay: Why nursing?

    lauraline replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really like your idea of starting a blog. I love reading blogs and it always seems to me that people always come up with the best ideas and epiphanies when writing. Anyway, it always helps me when...

  8. Pre-Nursing Major, Spanish Minor?

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

    Do it while you have the chance. Even if it takes you only 1 extra year (not a long time realistically). Totally worth it IMO. During my undergrad I had the chance to add a minor in business...

  9. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    If you fail the TEAS V the first time you take it, you can stay in the program if you follow a "remediation plan" which includes taking the TEAS V again within 1 year. So I'm thinking some people may...

  10. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    If you are on the standby list they will contact us immediately when a spot becomes available. They said this can happen if people decline their offer, or don't pass the TEAS V. So basically when we...

  11. Nor Cal Volunteering

    lauraline posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What are some good ways to find volunteer work in Northern California? I have only known of Kaiser and John Muir. What are the other options? Where are you volunteering at? Would also love to hear...

  12. How should a petite girl prepare for lifting pts?

    lauraline replied to CaitlinWilliams's topic in General Students

    I'm somewhat petite too, about 110, 5'3". If you are worried I would start a routine to build up your strength. Strength training with work out videos (I'm doing Insanity) or anything really will...

  13. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm guessing we will be notified as spots become available as offers are declined, people are disqualified due to TEAS V scores, and then lastly if people drop from the program. But this is really...

  14. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    FYI Just read a forum thread from last year's students who received their packets in mid-November for their Spring 2013

  15. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    No idea. Maybe you will get the info once you submit your TEAS V scores and they establish official acceptance? It's still pretty early, they probably don't have dates yet. If there's someone who been...

  16. CCSF 2012/2013 acceptance letters

    lauraline replied to olivein's topic in California Nursing

    I too would like to know! I'm standby

  17. Sciences i need to take

    lauraline replied to lynnjohnson13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will most likely need to take Chemistry and Microbiology in addition to the A&P I and II. There are usually other class necessary too. If I were you I would try to knock out the required Math,...

  18. Essay: Why nursing?

    lauraline replied to bizzylizzy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you could perhaps write a thesis something along the lines of how the unique challenges you've faced in life allowed you to understand pain, the importance of recovery, and that your goal is...

  19. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Good thinking! Thanks :) Interesting.. no RN classes at all during summer

  20. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Im so excited! Does anyone know whether the nursing program at CCSF follows the regular academic calendar? Such as first day of class, finals week, and spring break? I am assuming they do, but I've...

  21. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    My letter says "We will contact you immediately... as soon as the next spot is available." So, I guess we could be waiting any amount of time really. If I hear anything I will keep you updated. I...

  22. Books I Recommend to Fellow Students

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

    Thanks to the OP for this info. I will probably need to do a review soon. I learned that pre-reading helps immensely!!! I think I never would have earned my A's if I hadn't done so. This sounds...

  23. Started with 50 down to 20

    lauraline replied to Bubbly26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I took chemistry at my university I struggled to keep a C. My class was taught by a research professor who was brilliant, but notorious for failing his students. In the end, only about 40% of the...

  24. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Congratz volleygrl89! Maybe I will see you Spring 2014? Since we are standby does this mean it is highly unlikely we'd be offered a spot for Fall 2013? Any thoughts as to what to do in the

  25. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing
