  1. So anxious/stressed.

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

    You should have a back up plan like apply to programs that don't require a 3.0 GPA. Then if you don't make the grade after Chemistry, at least you have something to fall back on. Just make sure you...

  4. Want to quit nursing school.

    lauraline replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    Don't quit! Please, don't listen to people who say you should quit to "follow your passion" or whatever. You're still soooo young, use this time wisely before you regret not finishing what you...

  5. How are you paying for Nursing school?

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

    I am with Bubbly26. I am going to pay out of pocket. Loans and debt stress me out. So if I can avoid it, then I

  6. What am I doing wrong! I just want to cry

    lauraline replied to mwilso2318's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have spent 7+ years in college classes, and have earned 2 degrees. Nursing will be a second career for me. Ever since I truly learned to study properly I have never earned any grade less than a B+....

  7. What's Cali. life like?

    lauraline replied to DFRAZIER25's topic in California Nursing

    San Diego has the most convenient and stress free lifestyle of the 3. I have lived in SF most of my life, and I have spent 6 years in LA, and 7 years in San Diego. When I lived in San Diego I was a...

  8. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I will be out if the country in June. Hopefully we won't miss anything. Is CCSF going to be your top choice? What are your plans going to be this Summer before classes start? I'm not sure what I...

  9. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Omg #60s is awesome, congrats! I'm in the #120s. I was nervous on how they qualify ppl too so I went and talked to them in person. They told me to just wait for my letter, which will be sent starting...

  10. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Nothing in the mail for me yet either. I'm thinking I might get something by next week. Not knowing anything is driving me

  11. I applied to nursing school...now what?

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

    I'm also playing that waiting game... I'm taking a few classes at the moment but I will have all Summer pretty much to wait. I've started learning a 2nd language (Mandarin Chinese). I'm also going to...

  12. How should I prepare?

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

    You have a long road ahead of you, but it can be done. Don't get discouraged, I have seen a lot of my friends and classmates who are new to the U.S. succeed. You might want to try completing a CNA...

  13. Could I work in a laboratory with a nursing degree?

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

    I think you should switch to a medical tech program if you only want to do lab work. The only lab work I can think of that involves a nursing degree would be like if you were involved in research,...

  14. Am I too old to start a new career in nursing?

    lauraline replied to tr1216's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Older students bring more life experience to the table. I am still young, but many of my classmates are older (ranging from 30s to 50s) and they often ask the best questions and get the best grades....

  15. A&P before Microbiology??

    lauraline replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my prerequisites in this order: microbiology, physiology, then anatomy. But only because that's what was available at the time, that would fit my schedule. If I had a choice, I probably would...

  16. TEAS V difficult?

    lauraline posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hi all, Can anyone please give me an idea of how difficult the TEAS V test really is? I have never taken any TEAS test before. So, it will be my first time. I have tried the Quizlet.com questions...

  17. Do we still dissect things in a&p?

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

    My school uses human cadavers. We used them the entire time. And didn't have any animals. Why does everyone's school seem to have animals? :/ Just wondering...Are animals better? Were they freshly...

  18. Anyone else have schoolwork due DURING break?

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

    Me too. I have a speech to prepare for the day I get back, plus a nutrition paper and exam to prepare fore while on break. I would have had another report due too but I finished that early, thank...

  19. Have I screwed up my chances to get into a nursing program?

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

    Also, there's always the LVN-RN route. I know it's probably not an ideal option but don't discount anything. Consider all options and having a backup plan will help you feel more confident about your...

  20. Have I screwed up my chances to get into a nursing program?

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

    I think the WUs will affect your admission chances when it comes to BSN or ABSN programs. But your chances for ADN are still okay. You can consider a 2 year ADN program to become an RN, then easily...

  22. I was picked in the lottery!!!

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats on making the top 100! Unfortunately I have no idea how they will decide who is spring/fall. I would assume they go down the list one by one and start with offering those applicants Spring....

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I think I read somewhere on their website it has to be a 67%. I was looking for where it specifically says it but I can't find it anymore. I sure hope letters go out in April like they said. In the...

    lauraline replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

    I was planning on submitting applications to MSN programs starting Fall 2013, so even if I got directly into an MSN program I wouldn't start until probably Fall 2014 anyway. So, if I get into the CCSF...
