  1. Samuel Merritt University CRNA 2024

    Nope, I havent heard anything at all
  2. Samuel Merritt University CRNA 2024

    I got my invite email last night too. It was in my spam folder!
  3. University of Maryland CRNA 2024

    I haven't received a reject or waitlist notification. I won't be surprised if it was a reject letter, since I didn't get a good feeling during the interview. I really did not like the process: I flew all the way there just to wait around for 4...
  4. UC Davis Nurse Residency 2017

    Is this for Feb or April cohort? Will they be doing an April cohort? I'm asking because the manager of that unit wants to interview me ONLY after I get my ATT, and so far I haven't received it, and I'm scared that he's already passed on me.
  5. UC Davis Nurse Residency 2017

    I received a call last week, telling me that a unit was interested in interviewing me, but they didn't want to move forward until they get an estimated date of when I'll be taking the NCLEX. I'm hoping I'll get my ATT soon, so that I can set up an i...
  6. Mayo Clinic Externship 2016 (Summer III)

    Hi everybody! I'm a senior nursing student from northern California. I really wish I had checked this, and other threads, BEFORE I applied. My essays were short but concise, because for some reason, I wrote it like a cover letter (just the good stu...
  7. Why do some sections have fridays off and some dont? It appears thst the ones with Fridays off have their skills lab on the same day as their clinicals. Are the skills lab only for the first two Tuesdays of the whole semester or month? I feel like...
  8. Thanks! That helps bc I had no idea what they're looking for. I just got a printout of all my vaccines from my hospitals Immunology clinic and it just read "Varicella - POS titer" but I guess CP needs more specific info. I will visit my clinic ag...
  9. My HealthStream section of CertifiedProfile is orange and said "OVERDUE" yet I had uploaded my transcript several weeks ago and it was accepted. So weird. Does anyone know what they are looking for in terms of the varicella? I got it before the vac...
  10. Spring Admission

    I don't know if any website that states which colleges admit new students each semester, but here is a list of all pre-licensure BSN programs in California: Board of Registered Nursing - RN Programs Then just go down the list to see which ones you ar...
  11. I screwed up... don't know what to do. I need advice.

    Perhaps you should re-take Micro at another school, and maybe decrease your courseload next time. Was there a reason why you took 5 classes while working during one semester? I understand the desperation to complete your prerequisites ASAP but what...
  12. Excited about starting nursing school this spring

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one freaking out! I'm 29; I was the oldest student in most of my pre-req classes, but I'm glad that I am doing this at my age rather than when I was 18 because I had horrible study habits and no motivation when I wa...
  13. Soldier wanting to be a Nurse

    The first thing I would do is look at the pre-reqs of UMKC's nursing program, so you know what kind of classes you need. Because it's in a different state, some classes may not transfer, so I suggest calling them (if you can) and telling them which ...
  14. Taking two science classes at once

    I have seen many students having trouble with Physiology because they didn't have a background knowledge of chemistry. I took health chem before A&P and so it was a breeze for me. But taking them together will be fine because you'll sort of be ...
  15. sj94 - Ugh I tried to send you a pm but the system won't let me because I have made only 8 posts on the website (I need 15 in order to pm, so weird). Maybe you can PM me your email address? I'm trying to post as much as I can in different forum to...
  16. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    I enjoy the science part of it, too! It is fascinating how the human body is designed and how it works, and I love the idea of using the info I learned to help people. I've encountered some horrible and incompetent nurses (I had an ER nurse transfo...
  17. I need to start studying!

    The ATI study guide is the most helpful because, well, they designed the test itself! I ordered mine from Amazon. The ATI website sells the online practice tests ( that's timed as well) but I did well using the practice tests included in the book. ...
  18. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    Program Type: BSN Adjusted Individual Total Score: 92.0% ATI Academic Preparedness Level: Exemplary Mean - National: 64.3% Mean - Program: 70.6% Percentile Rank - National - 99 Percentile Rank - Program - 99 Reading Adjusted Individual Score 90.5% Ma...
  19. I'm looking for a place with student roommates too. How do i send a private message to you on this site? I'm on my phone so maybe the mobile version is different from the full website.
  20. Keep in mind that the point cutoff means the point score of the last alternate who was accepted, not the top #80th applicant. For Fall 2014, the top 80# applicant had 76 points, and the reason why a person with 71 points got in was because roughly 4...
  21. Are nursing schools saturated, less applying?

    Nursing students being turned away amid faculty shortage in Cal State system This article pertains to California, where I live, but the same thing might be happening in other states, too. If you don't want to read it, it states what another poster i...
  22. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2014 Applicants

    Madeline, I would LOVE to volunteer in the L&D department! That is so exciting! Unfortunately, I live in Fairfield, so the closest Sutter is in Vallejo. I interviewed with them for a volunteer position in the ER, and now I am just waiting for ...
  23. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2014 Applicants

    Ugh, I feel like I got punched in the stomach. I'm not even close to being an alternate . I'm thinking the best way for me to boost score for next semester is to volunteer at a hospital. Unfortunately, it appears that a lot of hospitals don't allo...
  24. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2014 Applicants

    I feel your pain, Lindsay! I got a 82.7% on my first try, but I didn't study for it at all (I took my final exams the day before). So I studied my butt off for a month and got a 92%. I decided to re-take it for the 3rd time, and I felt so confiden...
  25. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2014 Applicants

    Oh my god, so many of you have such high scores and now I am even more nervous about my status. I really hope the cutoff is 69 like last semester's. I've only applied to Sac, Dominican, and I tried to apply to SFSU, but the website wouldn't let me ...
