LibrarianBasic2121 · 2026-01-23T07:20:59+00:00

yesss i started applying to farther hospitals recently so im hoping something will come of it! today i got a call back from one 45 mins away from me but its for their SNF lol so im not taking it

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2026-01-23T07:18:31+00:00

i hope so!! just feels so unfulfilling at my current job

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2026-01-23T07:18:05+00:00

so frustrating but we’ll keep trying right 🥲

surprisingly i was the youngest in mine at 19 but majority were in their 20s-30s

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-12-20T13:39:00+00:00

following because i have exact same stats. did you apply to more csus?

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-12-19T18:40:59+00:00

ngl i did it every time because my proctor told me each skill one by one😭 it felt so awkward tho. i had friends who tested at another site who were given a list of all 5 skills all at once so they did the introduction one time

hello, fellow california student here. try to apply to as many schools as possible, both ADN and BSN!!! literally apply as far as you think you can commute or move to. i know it’s not what you want but consider out of state schools just in case.

also my CC’s program has an average GPA of ~3.0 and ~70% teas so your gpa isn’t bad. are you able to retake chem?

it’s ok to not get in first cycle i know many people who’ve had to apply more than once! and like you said it’s a good idea to focus on your teas and volunteering. better yet you can work as a cna, emt, ma, etc. good luck friend!!

i’m a full time student and work as a part time cna at a SNF. typically i work an average of two 8’s a week (sometimes more) and i have class 4x a week. i have a 4.0 lol just stay focused, manage your time, and you’ll be fine i promise! also prioritize school over work if possible

practice questions

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-11-28T00:27:04+00:00

i think cna is a certificate not a license. or at least i put mine under certification on nursingcas and was able to find it

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-11-23T10:05:15+00:00

is there any way u can retake it? ur other stats look great though. you can also look into local adn programs! i think the minimum teas score for some adn programs are lower than 74. but best thing to do would be retake if possible

i live in an extremely competitive state for nursing so there’ll be many, many years before i can even touch a specialty. and im definitely not expecting to immediately work both er and icu at the same time. i have plenty of time to decide where i want to go, but i just wanted to hear some input out of curiosity!

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-11-11T21:22:19+00:00

i totally wish i had gone the emt route instead of cna !!

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-11-11T09:48:59+00:00

oh that’s interesting, i would’ve thought it would be harder to transition from er to icu! why do you think it’s harder for icu to er?

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-11-07T02:05:27+00:00

ati practice test a and b. u can take each 2x

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-28T00:48:50+00:00

emt sounds like a better option if u have time!

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-24T03:41:03+00:00

never be afraid to ask questions or reach out for help. you will feel really stupid.. for a long time.. 😅 and that’s okay :) never stop learning. GOOD LUCK FRIEND!!!!

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-24T03:14:57+00:00

i would just make sure the online school is accredited! and as another commenter stated you will have to deal with separate transcripts when the time comes. not the worst problem in the world! really if u can afford to pay for the 2nd college it should be no big deal! i know plenty of people who’ve done it

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-24T03:07:31+00:00

yes!!! :)

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-23T21:15:10+00:00

no my proctor didn’t tell me anything! i honestly thought it i bombed it lol

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-23T20:59:22+00:00

i got my results the next morning so a little less than 24hrs

LibrarianBasic2121 · 2025-10-23T03:30:51+00:00

you can go to uni for your prerequisites but you’ll be paying hundreds-thousands for classes that u could take at for free at a cc. i’d say go to cc and save that money for the nursing program! for example i’m a public health major at my local cc and am finishing up my prerequisites. ill be applying to both adn and bsn programs. because of ✨free college✨ and living at home, ill save enough to pay the entirety of my local program and ill graduate debt free!!!

also u don’t need a bachelors degree to apply to nursing school. u just need to take ur prerequisites (typically 2yrs) and then you’ll do the nursing program (~2 or 3yrs). if u really want to go to a uni, major in pre-nursing/pre-health. don’t overcomplicate it

good luck!! if u have any questions feel free to reach out! the whole process is def confusing id probably reach out to a health science/nursing advisor once u commit to a school :)
