Hello everyone! I'm a recent graduate with an Associates degree, eagerly looking for employment. Since getting my license 4 days ago, I have been applying to as many positions as I can. Today, I received a phone call from HR, regarding a job opportu...

Thanks for the reply, guys! I've had my interview already and decided it wasn't for me. I haven't yet received an offer but in the event that I do, I won't be accepting it. Cheers!

thats great! gl in the program! i believe my gf will also be in your class. she's excited to start as well. in the meantime, ill be finishing my 4th semester there. pretty nervous myself. from what i gathered, last semester had roughly 50 students or...

125 is a slim chance but being number 30 is a guaranteed in. AVC generally takes 60 people in the spring but even if they take the 40, you're still in. I wonder why they office used the word "might." I know they plan on implementing a new admissions ...

There isn't much else you can do now, that i can think of. the stuff you mentioned that you still need, would be things you would do after getting accepted.

They notified me via phonecall. Will probably do the same for you

base_ball is right, you still have a very good shot at getting in the fall semester. some may still fail the teas, fail the background, or just accept an offer elsewhere. I believe you will get in, especially since they are known for giving last minu...

mom-e, you still may have a shot at getting in by the fall semester. they invited me to the program 1 month before it started and i heard of others who got in a few weeks before. so, you may still have a shot, it may just be late notice. lalomartine...

thanks for the tips! im in second semester and always try to find ways to stand out so i have a higher chance of getting a job right after graduation. These are ALL good ideas. im not understanding why some are brushing aways the tips you gave to st...

i wasnt aware of the budget cuts and really, the main reason why i said you have a high chance is because i was number 80 in november. i thought for sure i wouldnt get in but just to make sure i called every week to see what number i was because i li...

Or just unnecessarily difficult.... I would say a little bit of both. I finished my first semester and I can't help thinking how tough the next semester will be. Not because I'm not committed enough, in fact its the opposite. I put in so many hours ...

i got 79 points and applied twice to grossmont. both times i got denied. tough program to get into. goodluck

i cant really speak for your school but i can speak from logic. if your schools nursing program is impacted like every other school in the country, then you might want to start looking at other school options. there will be tons of students who are a...

the chances of you getting in are pretty high, id almost guarantee youll get in. im already in the program and im second semester so youll most likely be in my class!

I'm not quite sure which other route would be best for you but I do know you can't go around those pre-reqs. You need them in any setting, whether you want to get them then go the ADN pathway, regular BSN or accelerated BSN pathway or the MSN pathway...

I think its really important to know how your teachers like to test. I just finished my first semester and it was tough. But I got the hang of it and it became a little easier. Our class was shared between two teachers who made the test. One teacher ...

My fellow classmate might one day be the greatest nurse in the entire world! But it doesn't stop me from being observant. I didn't mean to put her down but was using her as an example. She probably received the highest score in the class but because ...

before they look at your volunteer hours they are gonna look at your prereq GPA. i suggest you worry more about that. then i would worry about your TEAS results and then volunteer hours. 100hrs is usually the minimum for some of the schools i went to...

a reputation takes a lifetime to build and only seconds to destroy. i hope that you read everyones comment here and soak it all up. even the comments that have you scared to death because they mention the possibility of having your passion for nursi...

i got denied to lots of nursing schools, mostly in san diego. the major reason was that i had a c physiology, b in anatomy and b in micro. finally had to settle for a wait list program and now im done with my first nursing semester. grades matter, w...

the same thing happened to me in november 2012. at the time i was living in san diego and i also had already taken my teas. they told me it wasnt for sure but that id most likely be going into the semester in spring 2013. from then on i kept calling ...

havent read through every post here but, wow! the OP is losing respect for nursing students and most of you agree? what a way to generalize. im currently a student and im not gonna say every nursing student out there is an angel but im also not going...
