  2. Don't worry about your past grades. You got into nursing school and that's what really matters. I don't consider myself that great of a student and I got an A and 2 Bs my first semester in nursing...

    Nursing programs in CA?

    I don't think many schools do waitlists anymore. Pasadena City College and Glendale Community College do a lottery (from what I remember). Go to the rn.ca.gov website and there is a list of all...

    How did you get an A in anatomy?

    Review, review, review. Anatomy is straight up memorization. Make flash cards and take them everywhere with

    Missed Deadline..What to Do?

    Not sure how schools are out in your area, but here in Los Angeles it is very difficult to be accepted into another nursing program just for one class. I don't even think any schools around here...

    How to get over cold feet about nursing school

    A "dumb junkie" wouldn't have gotten a 4.0 in prereqs. I didn't even close to that and I'm not a junkie and just completed my first semester of nursing school. If I can, so can you. You have come a...
  8. I don't have much information on GCC. If you have any specific questions about LAC I would be happy to answer
  9. I don't have much information on the collab program because CSULA never came to speak with us about it. I'm not sure if it was even available for us this semester. My clinical instructor told me that...
  10. Hey guys I just wrapped up my first semester with LAC and I wanted to tell you guys that the school is amazing thus far. I've been a part of this board for the past year or so looking, posting, trying...
  11. To whoever comes across this post like I have...I couldn't find how to write this diagnosis and finally just asked my instructor for help. She confirmed like duckyluck mentioned...wellness diagnoses...

    Nursing School Academic Probation

    Look at the Alabama Board of Registered Nursing website. In California they list what schools are on warning. If your state doesn't list if its on warning then call the state
  13. It is available on Amazon for $40 and it includes free one day shipping. Also try checking your local Craigslist website. I sold mine on there and saw others posted there

    W's on Transcript

    Every school has their own policy for Ws. I would apply to other schools. Just because this school denied you doesn't mean you have to give up. It's a setback, but you can still be a nurse. Apply for...

    Are these good nursing school entry scores?

    What is the average GPA for your nursing program's acceptance? If it is lower than 4.0 then your lower TEAS score will balance it out. You're only 5 percentage points below the average which is not...
  17. You just gotta do your research. There are so many nursing programs available and their requirements vary. Your GPA does seem rather low, but here in California it is super competitive. It just varies...

    LA County Spring 2016

    If it's pending I'm sure the school will be okay with it. It's not your fault they take long, but who knows. What I can share is my experience with my volunteer process and my nursing student process....

    LA County Spring 2016

    Just to chime in...When I was a volunteer for LAC+USC it took three weeks for my live scan to clear. Luckily, I didn't have to live scan again since I had just done it this
  20. That really is unusual. Most accredited schools will count all college coursework and factor that into your cumulative GPA. I would be very careful with the school where that nursing advisor said...

    Human Nutrition Online

    I took nutrition online and it was super easy. I did read the book and the class didn't require much studying. Honestly, nutrition to me was a lot of common sense and information I already learned in...

    Confused between Nursing and PA

    At the hospital where I volunteered PAs and NPs had similar job tasks. RN is really different from what a PA does. So I guess it depends on what type of nursing you are referring to. In terms of...
  23. Don't limit yourself to just one school. You may have been set on this school, but apply to several others and do your research beforehand. Look at their statistics of applicant pools to determine the...
  24. 28 is still a pretty young age. More and more people are choosing to have kids later in life this day and age. I'm 30 and I plan on having kids when I finish school in 2 years. I would rather have a...
