  1. Classes in high school plus GPA and SAT Q's to prepare to be a nursing student?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, and as far as GPA goes, the only thing your High School GPA counts for is admission to the university to begin your prereqs, and that is highly variable (Stanford will require a much higher GPA...

  2. Classes in high school plus GPA and SAT Q's to prepare to be a nursing student?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to laschai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, this is how my school (and most schools) do it. I have heard of some schools that count HS coursework as a C in the GPA, or schools that do an AP conversion (3=C, 4=B, 5=A), but most just count...

  3. Applying to a nursing program Fall 2015?!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Jessica_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying to a BSN program in California for Fall 2015. Im only applying to the program at the university where I'm doing prereqs because it's in my city and I can commute to school. Even if I got...

  4. Csu Application HELP!

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Nikki1207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Which school is it? Are you a first-time freshman, transfer student, or second bachelor's student? Last year when i was applying as a first-time freshman, I discovered that some csu campuses require...

  5. "More" than Just a Nurse?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to lisabethanne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People think nurses just go around cleaning up messes and changing band-aids all day. They don't realize how many procedures nurses can perform, especially APRNs. When I was applying to begin my...

  6. Should I apply to state colleges in California (for BSN Program)

    ThatOneDude822 replied to JackieTL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, I just looked it up and it appears I was the one given false info. I suppose you can't always trust school counselors. For Cal Grant A, a student attending a private school eligible for Cal...

  7. Should I apply to state colleges in California (for BSN Program)

    ThatOneDude822 replied to JackieTL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with this. My sister is an RN and one of her coworkers (and roomate) actually lived in the bay area, and every other week she would commute down here to the south valley (4-5 hour drive) for...

  8. Just Starting Out...

    ThatOneDude822 replied to AKG219's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your school. At my school, you have to take anatomy first because it is assumed that you already have anatomical knowledge in our physiology class. Other schools may teach physiology in...

  9. Senior In High School Confused

    ThatOneDude822 replied to teodoroc's topic in California Nursing

    The thing with UC Irvine (and UCLA) is that they're kind of "special" in that their nursing programs are direct entry, so if you're accepted to do prereqs, you're automatically accepted to the nursing...

  10. AP biology

    ThatOneDude822 replied to rkan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, what state are you in? Here in CA, almost all schools accept a 3 for credit for any AP course, including bio. The BSN programs at the CSUs (at least the ones I've researched) don't even require...

  11. HELP! Anatomy and Physiology I

    ThatOneDude822 replied to EKTheRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently in Human Anatomy (not A&P) but I may be able to offer some advice. If flashcards work for you, then that's great! Definitely use them! They, however, didn't work for me. I found...

  12. Working while in school

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all, I'm in need of need of some advice. I'm 18 and completing my nursing prereqs at a 4-year university in one year, and I'm also in the honors program, so I have additional requirements I must...

  13. Working while in school

    ThatOneDude822 replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi everyone, Sorry I haven't replied to anyone yet. First, I want to say thanks for everyone who took the time to comment on this, I took everyone's opinions into consideration. I think my parents...

  14. Nursing prerequisites?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to spaulson1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of any CSU programs that require O Chem, most only require combination or general chemistry. I know UCLA and UCI require O Chem, but their programs are some of the most difficult to get...

  15. Does Micro + Chem I = Death

    ThatOneDude822 replied to mrlqn2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're comfortable with chemistry, you should be fine. I got an A in Chem 1 with very little studying because chemistry comes naturally to me. As long as you don't take more than 1 of the "big 3"...

  16. questions about prerequisites in CA

    ThatOneDude822 replied to Natanail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm currently completing my prereqs at a California University and I researched many different California nursing schools while I was applying for prereqs, so hopefully I can provide some helpful...

  17. Worried and confused

    ThatOneDude822 replied to iridium's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check with the nursing department because it really just varies by school. I've heard of schools that look at cumulative GPA, but my school, for example, only looks at your prereq GPA and your...

  18. BSN programs that dont require recommendations

    ThatOneDude822 replied to xhelenaaax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second RunBabyRN. I live in Cali and attend a CSU, and none of the programs that I researched while I was applying for prereqs required letters of recommendation for nursing entry. They ARE very...

  19. How many pre-reqs do you have to go?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to studentbear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only have 4 left after this quarter! I'm taking Anatomy and Critical Thinking right now, then next quarter I will be taking Comm (Public Speaking) and Micro, then in the spring I will take Physio...

  20. CSU minimum age requirement?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to kdmf12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I attend a CSU and I'll be 19 when I start my clinicals. You should be fine

  21. Physiology in TEAS V

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hello! I will be applying to the Fall 2015 nursing program. The issue is that my school requires TEAS V scores by the beginning of April, but my school doesn't offer physiology until Spring quarter...

    ThatOneDude822 replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thanks for the reply! It's good to know I'm not the only one going in without some classes. I will definitely check out that thread too! I also went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to look at and...

  23. best tablet or PC for nursing school

    ThatOneDude822 replied to whitestripes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also doing my prereqs this year. I'm a part of my university's honors program and one of the perks was that all members got a free iPad Air. I've been using that for my prereq courses and I'm...

  24. Does Anatomy get any easier?

    ThatOneDude822 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I just heard 10 of you laugh a little at this title, because since when is Anatomy ever easy?? Anyway, I'm currently in my third week of human anatomy (not A&P) and have an exam tomorrow...

  25. Does Anatomy get any easier?

    ThatOneDude822 replied to ThatOneDude822's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi guys, just wanted to update you all. I ended up with an 80% including extra credit! I'm pretty content with that. Before the extra credit quiz I had a 72, but that was still pretty good seeing as...
