  1. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    Did they explain the remediation program to you? I know if one does not pass the TEAS, this is what they offer you. I only ask because they are giving us a week to prepare for the TEAS and I'm not...

  2. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    I am so sorry, I was unable to get to my computer this weekend after I posted due to work. I was accepted, but they forgot to call me. Had I not called, I wouldn't have known until I received my...

  3. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    Good job! Any pointers for the TEAS? I am so nervous as we only have a week to prepare (I've been studying but I honestly did not have the mindset that I would get in this time around, my fault). I...

  4. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    I am so sorry I am late posting. I broke down and called as well....they forgot to call me. They felt bad, but I was accepted. Please know, if you weren't accepted do NOT give up. I was not accepted...

  5. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    UPDATE: a friend of a friend was accepted via phone call yesterday afternoon....has anyone heard anything? I'm a tad confused because she said she wasn't an alternate and was chosen in the lotto and...

  6. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    I am on pins and needles, too. When I applied during the last application period, it was more organized. I got the "not chosen in lotto" letter the first time (which I was told was a rejection...

  7. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    This is just so nerve wracking. Waiting another two weeks is horrible. And I don't really get why they wouldn't send out the eligible but not accepted letters with the rejection letters.

  8. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    Update: they were rather misleading and I am thankful I called them today. They told me acceptance, waitlist, alternate and eligible but not accepted (AKA NOT chosen in lotto, which I think should be...

  9. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    Update: i called today and they told me rejection letters were sent out on Friday. So if you don't hear anything by Wednesday, I'd say we are safe! Acceptance letters will be sent out two weeks from...

  10. Bakersfield College Nursing Program GPA Requirements

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to BethB.'s topic in California Nursing

    At BC there are two steps when they choose applicants. Firstly, they evaluate your GPA (minimum of a C grade in all required pre-reqs, which is kind of ridiculous to me, lol). They also look at how...

  11. Bakersfield College Spring 2015

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to sanddollar29's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello everyone! I too am applying for the Spring 2015 semester and waiting for the letter to come in the mail. I've kept in close contact with the nursing department staff as they have been low on...

  12. immigrant visa application to the US from Philippines

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to kimcruz's topic in Immigration Advice

    Hello. I'm currently living in California but I am a Canadian citizen. I must warn you, the wait for a green card is a long one(if that is your end goal). I moved here in 2002 with my mother who had...

  13. Would you miss the first day of class?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to ames86's topic in General Students

    Hello, I wouldn't miss the first day of class. To be honest, I think that it would look bad. I am sure if you explained the situation to your boss, that he or she would understand fully and have you...

  14. Canadian Nurses. Yeah, you! And you! Over here! I got a question for you.

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    Also, make sure everything you fill out form wise is accurate(as well as your employer). One mistake and they will not approve you and the process will start all over again. Immigration has become...

  15. Canadian Nurses. Yeah, you! And you! Over here! I got a question for you.

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SilkyKRN's topic in Immigration Advice

    This. My mom is an rn (we are from Canada) and moved to California in 2002. She had to have a work visa sponsored by her job (the hospital in this case) and a letter from her employer prior to us...

    SamanthaElizabeth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello everyone, Firstly, sorry for the long post. I am done with all of my pre reqs for nursing and apply in January. However, I have 3 more gen ed classes to take. Currently, I am taking an online...

  17. Help. To drop with a 'w' or tough it out?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SamanthaElizabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your advice! I will look into that! Hopefully they will allow me to drop the class. I'll be driving up to the school tomorrow (it's an hour away). I'll more than likely speak with the...

  18. Help. To drop with a 'w' or tough it out?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to SamanthaElizabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for your response. I am not behind as there are zero assignments, just the exams and the papers and I have been keeping up on my reading. However, this is the second week of class and the...

  19. How to do well in school when dealing with family problems..

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

    Firstly, I'm sorry you have to go through all of that. I know how that is. If possible, leave while you study as much as you can. Starbucks, the school library, wherever. It's really hard to focus...

  20. Are You A Victim?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry for my spelling and grammar errors. Just had my 3rd molars removed and went under general so still a bit "duuur duurrr durrrr" in my head.

  21. Are You A Victim?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love this! I think we have all been a victim at one point however, when we are that must change. We all have different lives and different roadblocks and I never judge or compare one persons...

  22. What type of gross things do registered nurses have to do?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to Neisha_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Luckily, my mum is an rn and I am fully aware of the not so pleasant things a nurse must encounter. Does it bother me? Not at all. Not much bothers me except bad eye infections ( I am a nut and have...

  23. Tablet for note taking?

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to DaisyRenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love my ipad! My boyfriend (who is premed) uses his for all of his classes as well. As do many of our classmates. Goodreader is also a good ap for note taking! I do not see anything wrong with using...

  24. Online Stats

    SamanthaElizabeth replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would not be comfortable taking it online in such a short amount of time. I could have done so this summer (and I would be done with all my pre reqs) but I decided to wait until the fall...

  25. Importance of checking your grades

    SamanthaElizabeth posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Everyone. This may seem like a silly topic, but I feel sometimes we assume our professors or their TA's enter our grades properly every time. We are all human and make mistakes. Example, I...
