   No, I never got into Porterville College. I ended up getting into Merced College. Thanks for asking though:)

   javachick78 replied to sam7900's topic in General Students

   Hello, I just got accepted into Merced's Spring 2016 program on my first try. I didn't apply to Modesto but this was after a year of applying to 5 other colleges and not getting selected. I think the odds are greater of getting into Merced because ...

   Hello all, Is anyone applying to Porterville College for the Fall 2015? I just did and now I'm waiting:nailbiting: I'm willing to relocate and move there. I did read that the campus is kind of out in the middle of nowhere and the commutes would be ...

6. San Joaquin Delta ADN Spring 2015

   javachick78 replied to Luv2Fly22's topic in School Programs

   I applied for Spring of 2015. My overall score is not that great (59). I was surprised that I even got invited to submit documentation. 59 is pretty low compared to the others. It looks like they are accepting high 50s for the cut off. I'm not ...

7. Need to retake Teas

   javachick78 replied to sweet101's topic in TEAS

   I think the ATI book is a good investment. You can get it used on Amazon for under $20 if you shop around. Also try Ebay. The practice problems with the explanations are very informative. The Mcgraw is also great, but it doesn't have nearly as ma...

8. TEAS V Exam

   javachick78 replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS

   Thanks. You are so right about relaxing. I think the only thing helping me relax is knowing that I can take it again if I don't do well. It's not like I'll get a death sentence if I score poorly.

9. TEAS V Exam

   javachick78 replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS

   Thanks for your encouraging words. It's funny, I actually find the McGraws-Hill's practice book to be easier than the online practice tests! So if you say that is more similar to the actual test, I think I might stand a fair chance after all. On a...

    javachick78 posted a topic in TEAS

    Hello Everyone, Okay, so I'm scheduled to take the TEAS V on the 19th. I've purchased ATI's entire TEAS V study package, and the McGraw-Hill's book. My scores aren't too shabby when I take the book version practice tests. The online practice exams...

11. Cali lottery nursing schools

    javachick78 replied to rgs829's topic in California

    There are 3 California ADN programs that I know for sure are purely lottery based with no point criterion: Los Medanos College in Pittsburg, Butte College in Oroville, and Ohlone College in Newark. ADN programs are tougher to get into because most ...

    javachick78 replied to rgs829's topic in California

    Merritt and Chabot use lottery systems. Unfortunately, the only way you can be placed in the random lottery is if you meet the minimum chancellor point criteria. In other words, GPA means a lot with those two colleges as well. Los Medanos is compl...

13. Cali lottery nursing schools

    javachick78 replied to rgs829's topic in California

    I'm in the same boat. I'll be applying to nursing programs with a 3.3 GPA. Got Bs in all of my main sciences courses. Yeah, I meet the minimum requirements, but that's just not good enough given the competition out there. Most community colleges ...
