  1. Fall 2016 Nursing School Applicant Support Group

    Courtney in CA replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Adrien! I can give you a few tips that impacted mine and my friends who applied to CSUS SON. 1st - Don't ignore the spring acceptance! Very few schools enroll students twice a year so if you can...

  2. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2015 applications

    Courtney in CA replied to Dannydgk's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know if you were at orientation yesterday, but they did talk about the benefits of an FB for the cohort. Thank you so much for taking the time to get this set up! I'm sure it will benefit...

  3. Advice on TEAS V Exam???

    Courtney in CA replied to anicole285's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Before you start studying, I suggest taking a practice test. This will help you know which sections and which topics you need to focus on. There are two sources I'd suggest: the ATI study book has...

  4. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2015 applications

    Courtney in CA replied to Dannydgk's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in section 9 and will consider it my lucky number because I was also alternate

  5. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2015 applications

    Courtney in CA replied to Dannydgk's topic in California Nursing

    I'm going to try and knock it out next month. From what I understand it isn't too hard, we just need to be able to write two coherent essays. I don't think they offer winter intersession classes...

  6. Sacramento State (CSUS) Fall 2015 applications

    Courtney in CA replied to Dannydgk's topic in California Nursing

    If you can, go the school and try them on. They have them available Monday - Friday from 8-4 I think. We got very lucky because my friends told me the new company is much more comfortable than in...

  7. Fall 2016 Nursing School Applicant Support Group

    Courtney in CA replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was able to get into the BSN program at CSUS and have several friends in the program. There are some details that are helpful when applying that were shared with me, and I'd love to be able to pass...

  8. Hardest part about a&p for you?

    Courtney in CA replied to ilikecorgis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The hardest part of A&P for me was seeing how much longer it took me to memorize the details my classmates seemed to get down in minutes. Bones and their markings took me forever...but two years...

  9. I feel like a failure.

    Courtney in CA replied to mkat123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course you aren't a failure! You haven't given up, you're just adapting to your new situation. I know there can be a lot of pressure and desire to apply to schools ASAP and I admire your hustle....

  10. Prerequisites

    Courtney in CA replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you need to retake stats, why not take it in fall with A&P? Even if you didn't love stats, at least the information will be fresh in your mind and that could be an advantage. Waiting 'til...

  11. Trying to Apply

    Courtney in CA replied to student789's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd avoid taking the TEAS just to see where you stand. Not only can it be expensive, but each school treats the number of and time between attempts differently. If where you plan to apply changes...

  12. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're absolutely right. Even within CA there are different requirements for different schools. I will make sure I take the time to be more clear when I post to anything - especially on a thread...

  13. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You're right! I took my pre reqs at a community college and then took another semester to complete my transfer requirements to get into the university so I could apply to the BSN program. The BSN...

  14. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    None of that was my intention. I'm not a horrible, hateful and competitive person. I will make certain to be more clear in future posts. Not to preserve how I am perceived by others, but because...

  15. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Whoa! I should have been more clear in my post. I did actually KNOW the students in both programs. I had classes with them, studied together and took other pre reqs together. I did in fact know the...

  16. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    No, I actually knew the people in both programs. I had classes with them, studied with a few and studied for the TEAS together. Perhaps I should've made that clear in my post. I was classmates with...

  17. ADN vs BSN Battle

    Courtney in CA replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was accepted into two ADN programs and one BSN program to start this fall. I ultimately chose the BSN program because (at least in my area) the BSN is harder to get into and I wanted to be...

  18. GoFundMe Thoughts?

    Courtney in CA replied to singwithme123's topic in General Nursing

    I've half thought of setting up a Go Fund Me and just sharing it with my friends and family. Yes, I did choose to go back to school and did do a lot of research about cost and the struggle of working...

  19. I got in... now it's getting real

    Courtney in CA replied to Courtney in CA's topic in General Students

    Thank you! You mentioned organization. I've heard from others that being organized with time, tasks, and studying is key to success. Is this true, at least in your experience? I'm ridiculously...

  20. I got in... now it's getting real

    Courtney in CA posted a topic in General Students

    When I went back to school after a 20+ year absence I made my goal to get into an ADN program at my community college. Fast forward 3 years and I applied to, and was accepted into an ultra...

  21. Dismissed from Program (Venting)

    Courtney in CA replied to MusicEMT's topic in General Students

    A little off topic, but I've always been curious about fellow students who needed accommodation during testing/lectures for ADD. I understand that in the world of education it is necessary and should...

  22. Am I too old to be an RN.... or should I just stay an LPN?

    Courtney in CA replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'm not sure what "too old" means but I'll be turning 40 exactly three weeks after starting my BSN program this fall. Sure, I'm scared and am slightly concerned about my ability to perform. The...
