    I need some help!

    nalie2 replied to Jenny_21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with what the others are saying. There is no way around the requirements for nursing as most programs have very similar requirements. All of the schools I have looked into require an entrance...

    Nursing Programs in California

    nalie2 replied to christinep08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied for the traditional BSN programs so I am not too sure about applicant statistics for ABSN programs in California. I remember the Cal State LA ABSN program requried a 3.0 in all science...

    Missed Deadline

    nalie2 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe there still is a chance that they will accept your application. How you missed the deadline is beyond me though. I knew the application deadlines for every school I applied to like I know my...

    80% TEAS, 3.3 GPA

    nalie2 replied to Nguyenyvonne72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what the admitted applicant statistics were for East Bay, but I don't think your stats are all that competitive for a BSN program. I didn't get in with a 3.25 cumulative, 3.75 science,...

    Depressed... Failed Teas Exam

    nalie2 replied to WhatnowRN's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I wish I was 25 again lol. I'm 30 and barely starting nursing school in January. Just study your butt off, purchase a study guide and the ATI practice tests. You'll do

    Should I make a stink about this?

    nalie2 replied to Zooey72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't "make a stink" or "confront" your professor. I would just talk to her. If you aren't sure what she is looking for on the open-ended question maybe you can ask her during an exam if she...

    Tips for Nursing entrance exams

    nalie2 replied to hearthappiness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken the TEAS and HESI. They both covered the same topics. I studied for the TEAS and didn't study for the HESI. I did better on the HESI go figure. For the TEAS I bought the practice tests and...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    nalie2 replied to Yclario's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @futuremurse My advisor told me it would most likely be January 11-14, but it could change because some students may be in class during that time for Winter intersession. I would hold off planning...

    Pasadena City College Spring 2016

    nalie2 replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you don't get in this semester there are other options. I didn't get into BSN programs I applied to last year, but I got into an ADN program this semester at another school. PCC was my backup...

    Pasadena City College Spring 2016

    nalie2 replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it? It would make sense since they have a point system, but I heard they put qualified applicants into a lottery and draw from that. I don't know if it's different this

    Pasadena City College Spring 2016

    nalie2 replied to adamastor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @adamastor I agree but I guess that's how it works with a lottery system. Luckily I applied elsewhere that give admission based on your stats and hopefully you did also. I just got an email saying I'm...

    I'm not sure what the previous semester's cutoff was, but their website says it has been 78-82 the past 2 years. Who knows when that number was updated

    low GPA, less than 3.0, HELP

    nalie2 replied to aentzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, I don't think your GPA is competitive. I would never recommend a for profit school, but it may be your only option. I was looking for NOT for profit BSN programs that admitted students...

    nalie2 replied to Yclario's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats murse! I also had my appointment today and was told pretty much the same info. I saw my application number was like 891. I wonder if they really had that many applicants? I was going to ask,...

    Good idea?

    nalie2 replied to Mp31495's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That sounds like a good plan. I just turned 30 and will barely be beginning nursing school in Spring. You're super young still and you have plenty of time

    Am I nuts?

    nalie2 replied to akcw1981's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're aware of the pay difference and still feel passionate about being a surgical tech then go for it. If you're willing to get less pay then it seems like you have a passion for it. I was...

    Accelerated BSN and low GPA?

    nalie2 replied to bostonbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just because I didn't get in doesn't mean you won't. Look at the school's admission requirements. It seems like your prereq grades are great. Look for schools that weigh that GPA heavily. The schools...

    Accelerated BSN and low GPA?

    nalie2 replied to bostonbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my experience, no, they won't really care if you're doing better. There are many other students who have done great their entire college career. I totally bombed at my first college 1.2 GPA (19...

    Thanks for sharing your story izzy. I applied to a few BSN programs for Fall 2015 and didn't get in. May I ask how many points you had when you applied for the Fall 2015 cohort? I have 82 and I'm...
