Jaycam Is there a specific calculation/dosage conversion book you use? Also I've heard that nursing schools test you before every quarter and you can't continue unless you pass. Is that true?

Let me tell you... I was just like you. Got all C's in high school took as many easy classes I could to graduate. But your performance in high school shouldn't deter you. Once I knew I wanted to go to nursing school I realized how much more I like co...

If someone with an 86 got into fall already our chances look good. Hoping for the best anyway.

I know right? I did the same. Crossing my fingers to get bumped up to fall!

Does anyone that got in also have other schools they applied to? Is Bellevue everyone's first choice?

She emailed me back right away. They're working on the issue and she said to try again after 1pm today.

I got the error message too. Emailing Melissa Meinhofer right now.

For those of you that are curious I got an 86 on my TEAS. The grammar part at the end really screwed me even though I got 100% on both the math and reading portions. So happy and excited for everyone that got in!

Got my letter. Winter quarter! I'm so happy. I just did a victory dance and cried.

Jaycam, How competitive are students for grades? Do teachers ever give statistics or post students grades for exams in public? Are the teachers at least good at giving progesterone reports or current grades?

Perfect. Red is definitely my color. I'm starting to think not as many people applied to Bellevue this year. What a dead forum.

I'm kind of curious. What do they expect you to bring to clinicals. Also what color scrubs are we going to need? I hope we don't have some tacky color like teal. Lol

Jaycam thank you for all the info! One more month guys. It can't come soon enough.

So what you're saying is class and clinicals are always on weekdays? So working Saturday and Sunday every week is possible?

I am planning on getting my BSN directly after my ADN program. The same college that offers the ADN program also offers the RN-BSN bridge. My long term goal is to go to graduate school and become an NP. My question is, does the school you received yo...

Thank you for your response! Does the first quarter have a lot of information learned in NAC class then? So your don't start clinicals unail second quarter?

Hi Jaycam, I was wondering if you think working would be doable during the first quarter of nursing school. Also how rigorous is the curriculum so far?

I would record every single lecture and play it in the background while I was studying/ making notes from the book. This made it so the key information my professor went through would come through while I was studying. I did not listen to lectures co...

I took my CNA course at the Nursing Assistant Training Institute in Shoreline. It came highly recommended by other CNA's I know and the program is cheaper and shorter than a quarter at BC. It was a good program and the skills teachers got right to th...

What classes/entrance exams do you have left? I've finished all of my prereqs as of fall 2014. The program I applied to doesn't start until this fall so I start the long wait until classes finally start. I loved my prereq classes especially Human A&a...

I realize I never introduced myself. I applied for admission into fall quarter full time. I've been working applying for nursing school the past year, it took me a few years at Bellevue to figure out what I really want to do. Currently taking my CNA ...

Yes. Shoot for a TEAS score of 90 and you should be good.

Bellevue only looks at the TEAS score and makes sure you've met the minimum requirements. They rank applicants based on their score and use GPA to decide between two applicants in case they have a tie.

It usually isn't recommended that you take both of the courses together since they are, in my experience, the most difficult pre reqs I had to take. I relied heavily on learning objectives and note cards. I don't know what text book you have or what ...

Who is your teacher currently? I highly recommend Jim Ellinger for A&P. He's hard but worth it. Diane Mauldin is a great Microbiology teacher and she's also difficult. Both teachers have a reputation for preparing students best for their nursing ...
