    Movingwolf, I did them both at Ohlone College. They were great courses with excellent instructors. However, the junior colleges can have very full sections with long wait lists. Ohlone is no...

    I didn't, but I've heard of online for those classes. I can't imagine them online though. I learned a lot doing the hands-on experiments. Also, microbiology really reinforces microscope skills, which...

    sunshine5300 replied to rinaa's topic in California Nursing

    You never know, it could be something as simple as going through the alphabet and running out of time! Really, it's impossible to predict. I think the bottom line is, everyone will be notified in some...

    sunshine5300 replied to rinaa's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about the phone calls, why some were called and others not. It must be a lengthy process to communicate all the decisions to everyone. Maybe it was a time issue, or maybe you will be...

    sunshine5300 replied to rinaa's topic in California Nursing

    For any who care to know, I had TEAS 94% and got accepted today. There are so many facets that they look at that I think it's virtually impossible to predict. I am a 4.0, but I had heard of other 4.0...

    sunshine5300 replied to rinaa's topic in California Nursing

    Sabotech, I appreciate your input. We obviously all believe and trust that SMU's reputation is awesome, or otherwise we wouldn't be placing our time and (hopefully!) money on it. But it's very...

  19. TEAS TEST!!

    sunshine5300 replied to Nurse2B408's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hi, I purchased the TEAS V study guide from ATI and found it very helpful. I went through every single page in the study guide, highlighting stuff that seemed difficult. Then I did the practice tests,...

    I agree, it was a challenge to stay within the limit! I cut and cut. I felt like a sculptor with a chisel in my hands. : ) Did you guys notice that they extended the application period for Fall? It...

    Ok Thanks Rinaa. I know Santa Barbara seems to be very popular with hopeful SMU students, and I have heard it's not too hard. But like HopefulBSN1, I worry that I won't get in. I'm glad to know about...
