  1. CSULB Spring 2017

    jayrow replied to allinone's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everyone...long time lurker first time posting (at least on this thread). I may have met some of you at the communication exercise already and look forward to meeting the rest of you at the...

  2. CSUF Accelered Nursing 2016

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    Recent TEAS scores from other applicants are so impressive (how can I even compete with you guys, with scores like those?!). And I am NOT a fan of long, timed fill in bubble standardized tests. Even...

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for taking that step and sharing with us, Ajimka. I seem to remember her saying that at interviews and thinking, "yikes." At this point crossing my fingers for some news by/after June 1st (so...

  4. Would a 75% NCLEX pass rate scare you away from a school?

    jayrow replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Agree with elkpark. If it's consistently low, then I would be suspicious. Otherwise, there is so much else to factor in--including yourself. You're already committed to the travel--it sounds like...

  5. Psychiatric History - Can I still become a nurse?

    jayrow replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Sorry, in op's case I wasn't sure what a "checkered past meant." It could mean substance abuse or...but at any rate, some things I've read here have led me to believe that there are those who have had...

  6. Psychiatric History - Can I still become a nurse?

    jayrow replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I've known people who have made the mistake of disclosing their health histories to their employers or future employers. HIPAA and patient confidentiality exist for a reason...a very good reason....

  7. Why or why not CRNA?

    jayrow replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My thoughts were similar. If you're focused on the $ and the time frame there are plenty of educational opportunities that will pay (maybe only a little at first) after 8 years (such as med school,...

  8. Why or why not CRNA?

    jayrow replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Absolutely, definitely DO NOT pursue a CRNA for the money. 1. You don't know where the field will be when you get out of school in 6-10 years. 2. After being involved in health/medical environs for...

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    Jm: Heh, well, I thought my score was competitive as well! But one can never be too careful, I suppose Especially if one tends not to interview well! It's a skill that is in progress, as I have had a...

  10. CSUF Accelered Nursing 2016

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not sure how they calculate bachelor's degree GPA, so it is my best estimate that my points range from 77-80, if I calculated correctly. However, for residency, my city is on the border of OC and...

  11. Csulb fall 2016 applicants!

    jayrow replied to peterparkk714's topic in School, College Programs

    Lol--I know, I was thinking the same thing, i don't think the policy is, "we didn't get your last transcript (I checked the tracking number and it arrived) but everything else checks out--we'll let...

  12. Csulb fall 2016 applicants!

    jayrow replied to peterparkk714's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm also thinking that they may not have gotten the additional transcript I sent OR maybe my GPA was calculated as very low (my undergrad degree GPA was only 3.2, my last 60 units was I think 3.77...

  13. Csulb fall 2016 applicants!

    jayrow replied to peterparkk714's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks :) I've gotten different calculations of my points, depending on what they use as my final overall GPA. I think it's anywhere from 9.4-9.45, but I'm not sure. Also, *no* I did NOT get an...

  14. Csulb fall 2016 applicants!

    jayrow replied to peterparkk714's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm wondering if anyone has received a rejection or heard anything else...I haven't heard anything since they requested additional transcripts I sent out. Given my stats are a bit lower than most of...

  15. CSUF Accelered Nursing 2016

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    I just got a very kindly-worded rejection email from CSULA. So, that's good to know. Probably literally the most polite rejection I have ever received,

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    Sounds like we are all talking to the same schools! Thanks for sharing, everyone. I wish you all good luck and hope there are spaces for all of us *fingers crossed*

    jayrow replied to MMurphy12367's topic in School, College Programs

    We're about three weeks out from our interviews and I'm getting a little (more?!) anxious about the alternate list. I know, I know we have a loooong way to go. Does anyone have any

  19. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    jayrow replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's going to be okay. I mean, easier said than lived with, right? This brings me back a bit. While my experience was, thank goodness, very little like yours, there were many times when I found myself...

  20. CNA course left me feeling inadequately trained

    jayrow replied to BioChic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CNA class was 3 months long, 4 days a week for 6-7 hours a day. Our state exam had a timed written and a timed skills exam. I got recommendations on where to take my class. I'm sorry for your...

  21. Chain of command

    jayrow replied to thatnursedude's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This sucks. I've been there more than once. And it always goes over better when I try to work with the professor than against him/her. In essence, I agree with the others. And if you HAVE built up a...

    Awesome, thanks for adding that, Bangle :) So we have twice as many known alternates as

    jayrow replied to peterparkk714's topic in School, College Programs

    based on what has happened in previous years they do send out rejections. Last year it was via
