  1. Rio Hondo College Spring 2015

    chuleta replied to jiimmmyyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a list of criteria they use to select students for the ADN program, however, they don't specify how many points you actually get for each area. Here's a link to their site for more details...

    chuleta replied to jiimmmyyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would be great! Have you started working on your health requirements? I need to find a scanner/fax machine to upload every thing

  3. LA Harbor College Spring 2015 ADN Applicants

    chuleta replied to NurseCastles's topic in California Nursing

    Hello, I just officially declined my offer today. I called & sent an email. I was just waiting to see if the school I was waiting for actually received all my paperwork on time. I hope one of you...

  4. Previous Bachelors Degree w/ low GPA 2.98, What to do! Help :(

    chuleta replied to kcrom18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you might have misunderstood what I was trying to say. I was talking about the cumulative GPA, which is from ALL the classes you've taken in college. From my own personal experience, the...

  5. Previous Bachelors Degree w/ low GPA 2.98, What to do! Help :(

    chuleta replied to kcrom18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should double check to see if the schools look at your cumulative GPA which also includes the GPA from your AA degree. Most of the schools I applied to in CA took both my GPAs into consideration...

  6. LA Harbor College Spring 2015 ADN Applicants

    chuleta replied to NurseCastles's topic in California Nursing

    Thanks! But I actually declined the offer because I got into a school closer to where I live so I'm going there instead. Congrats to you too for getting accepted to

    Yes, la harbor college. I'll show you a copy of the

  8. LA Harbor College Spring 2015 ADN Applicants

    chuleta replied to NurseCastles's topic in California Nursing

    I received an email last week stating I was accepted. Make sure you check your LACCD email address given to you by the school. Tomorrow is the last day to accept/decline the

  9. LA Harbor College Spring 2015 ADN Applicants

    chuleta replied to NurseCastles's topic in California Nursing

    I initially applied to LASC, however, when it came time for me to submit my TEAS score I decided to not continue with the application process because the NCLEX pass rate for LASC isn't so great. It's...

  10. "More" than Just a Nurse?

    chuleta replied to lisabethanne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, are you sure we don't have the same friends & family members?! That's almost exactly what I was told when I mentioned wanting to become a nurse. I think you should just do whatever makes you...

  11. Help finding a school

    chuleta replied to Medboi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's going to be tough to get into a BSN program with a 2.9 gpa. I think your best bet would be to apply to an ADN program that uses the lottery system for

  12. Extending of Application date

    chuleta replied to bnw06003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ha, guess it's top secret. Maybe it's not such a big deal after all but I'm sure they have to go through all those apps quickly in order to start by Jan!! One school I applied to extended their app...

  13. Extending of Application date

    chuleta replied to bnw06003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's quite an extension and it seems odd. Perhaps you should call the school and ask about it? Maybe there weren't enough

  14. 2nd degree BSN worth it?

    chuleta replied to SupermommyNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools post their point system breakdown on their website along with dates of info sessions regarding their nursing program. Attend an info session if possible. Also don't forget all nursing...

  15. 2nd degree BSN worth it?

    chuleta replied to SupermommyNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From my experience having a bachelor's degree will usually earn you a few extra points when you're applying to a nursing program that uses a point system. There are also nursing programs designed...

  16. Rio Hondo College Spring 2015

    chuleta replied to jiimmmyyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a 4.0 science GPA & 3.4 overall along with a bachelor's in biology. It's been a while since I've been in school so I'm slightly nervous, but happy/excited!! Your app is really impressive...

  17. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    chuleta replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, I was just mentioning scholarships because some times (perhaps rarely) there are some offered for students despite having earned a previous degree. My cousin, who already had a bachelor's,...

  18. Rio Hondo Spring 2015

    chuleta posted a topic in California Nursing

    Did anyone apply to the ADN program for Rio Hondo Spring 2015? I just wanted to see if there was anybody else out there! I got a letter stating I got into the ADN 151 class this upcoming Spring. I'm...

  19. Rio Hondo Spring 2015

    chuleta replied to chuleta's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you applied to more schools & get accepted into another program! I was definitely surprised to find out I was selected since I didn't have all the extra stuff like...

  20. Is this academic suicide? Hah...

    chuleta replied to aabdelhadi88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure those classes are do-able in one semester, but it's slightly crazy. I'd split them in into 2 semesters instead of trying to complete them all at once. That way you won't be TOO stressed out...

  21. Chem and Physio next semester?

    chuleta replied to michaelcruz95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's definitely possible. I took chem, physio, english, & public speaking in one semester & did well in all of the classes. You just have to manage your time & stay on top of every...

  22. Advice Needed from Older Students/Nurses

    chuleta replied to sweetbriar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps you should look into scholarships/financial aid offered at the school you plan on attending. I'm kind of in the same boat as you minus the school loans from my bachelor's degree. However, my...

  23. Nursing prerequisites?

    chuleta replied to spaulson1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should look at some of the threads on the California nursing forum. People have posted their grades & TEAS scores so can look at them for reference. I've looked into 2 cal states & they...

  24. MSMC ADN with no prereqs?

    chuleta replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Again, I doubt it. Nursing is really competitive and many people don't get in even if they've completed all their

  25. MSMC ADN with no prereqs?

    chuleta replied to trebleclefmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know about MSMC, however, I don't think nursing schools in general would consider anyone that hasnt completed any of their pre-reqs because that's partially how they decide if you're qualified...
