  1. Slower paced BSN?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to darbyspinx's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BA as well and am working on a BSN at a state university. I also was accepted into an ABSN program, but am glad I didn't choose that route. My program is considered full-time, but I am...

  2. SJSU vs CCSF Nursing Programs?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to moowi's topic in School, College Programs

    Since you don't drive I think SJSU is out of the running. Your clinicals will be all over the place, places where public transit doesn't go. That might even be true for CCSF. I'm in a Bay Area...

  3. Nursing School entrance Essay

    MyAimIsTrue replied to SPMME13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to read it, if you don't mind posting

  4. Not sure which route to take...

    MyAimIsTrue replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in the same situation as you and thought for sure I'd go for the ABSN. I was accepted but then realized that $70K for bachelor's degree was crazy! So now I am in a traditional BSN program at a...

  5. Health Science in Pre-Clinical or Nursing Program

    MyAimIsTrue replied to mmn7's topic in General Students

    I don't know exactly, but I don't think you'd get in with a 3.4. I guess if you are a health sciences major then you get bonus points as a "native" student when you apply to the nursing program. Can...

  6. CSU BSN Programs?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to mariannemorante's topic in General Students

    I can tell you only about my school, CSUEB. There were almost 1000 applicants for 126 spots. I had a 4.0 on my pre-reqs and scored a 93 on the TEAS. At CSUEB volunteer work doesn't count for...

  7. Nurses' Health Study 3

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Yay, it finally let me register! I'm in! I think it didn't like my user name but wouldn't let me know that was the reason for it not

  8. Nurses' Health Study 3

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Did it take a long time for them to email a confirmation? I registered a couple of hours ago. I was expecting it to be

  9. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    MyAimIsTrue replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not a state

  10. Questions for San Francisco-area Nurses!

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Pharaiah's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I've lived in the Bay Area for 30 years, 17 of those in SF. As you know living in SF is pretty much unaffordable unless you have roommates. Oakland is awesome, but I would...

  11. Christmas Gift Ideas for Newly Accepted Student

    MyAimIsTrue replied to NursingBird's topic in General Students

    My husband's birthday gift to me was a new laptop, because I started nursing school the week after my birthday. I think a stethoscope is a good idea too (mine cost about $70). Or maybe a gift card to...

  12. WILTW 10/8: Flexed to Tenacity

    MyAimIsTrue replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in week 3 of nursing school and I learned that clinicals are FUN! (so far, at least) I guess since I'm in school I should have a much longer list of what I've learned this week, but nothing stands...

  13. Samuel Merritt University ABSN Fall 2017

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Layla99's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, it's hard to get in, so make sure you get a 4.0 on those pre-reqs, since your undergrad GPA is not so great. My GPA was not great either, but I did ace all the pre-reqs and scored a 92 on the...

  14. WILTW 9/13: Social Calls and Social Justice

    MyAimIsTrue replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    My husband too! He probably has over 1000

  15. Multiple vaccination uploads (I just need to vent)

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Pdxstudent's topic in General Students

    I had a similar situation where I wouldn't have been able to upload everything by the due date. I contacted my school's nursing dept and explained the situation. They said as long as I had a plan it...

  16. Nursing school decision

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Leslieg_78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am 10 years older than you, with 3 kids ages 8-14. I am starting a full-time BSN program (2nd Bachelor's for me) and I will continue to work part-time. Ask me in 3 months if it's working out! I...

  17. Tell me I can do this

    MyAimIsTrue replied to Nurse2bAlissa's topic in General Students

    I think you can do it. You seem like a super-planner. I'm also a mom of 3, but I'm older than you and my kids are older than yours. I started taking pre-reqs 6 years ago (that kind of makes me want...

  18. ABSN or traditional BSN?

    MyAimIsTrue replied to ayemarr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's impossible to say what you should do, because I don't know your constraints. I am much older than you and also a mom. I was accepted into a competitive ABSN program last year, but ultimately...

  19. How to balance HIPAA with good manners

    MyAimIsTrue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I volunteer in our local ER (I'm not yet a nurse) and I saw a family waiting to be seen that I know from my child's school. I barely know them, as in I know the kid's name but not the parents' and if...

  20. How to balance HIPAA with good manners

    MyAimIsTrue replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I was thinking as well, but when the nurse said I shouldn't acknowledge that I know them, I didn't know what to think! And what about taking it a step further--what if she knew I was...

  21. SFSU BSN vs. SBCC ADN

    MyAimIsTrue replied to jj805's topic in General Students

    There are lots of state schools with good nursing programs, so why SF? I don't have insider knowledge (I applied there but chose to attend a different CSU), but the cost of living should be a...

  22. CSUEB fall 2016

    MyAimIsTrue replied to JaniceKuang's topic in School, College Programs

    I am having all Horizon emails forwarded to my personal email, but I suppose I should double-check Horizon to make sure I haven't missed

  23. CSUEB fall 2016

    MyAimIsTrue replied to JaniceKuang's topic in School, College Programs

    July 6 email with many attachments. They've sent several very long emails--I read them once, then read them again. They are packed with

  24. CSUEB fall 2016

    MyAimIsTrue replied to JaniceKuang's topic in School, College Programs

    Try calling the nursing dept. They are very helpful over the phone. They're also helpful via email, but it takes
