1. Seeking FNP preceptors in the bay area

   RN_true12 replied to RNtoFNPjourney's topic in California

   Why isn’t your school providing preceptors for you? Local CSUs in the Bay Area charge a fraction of what Samuel Merritt charges in tuition and provide their students placement. Let your school know you pay tuition for a reason.

   RN_true12 replied to futureRN_22's topic in California

   Definitely secure a job here before you move. And before that, endorse your out-of-state license - CA is notoroious for talking several months to endorse applicatns licences from another state. The coastal areas of CA as well as at and near Sacrament...

4. 2016 Bay Area CA Nursing Pay

   RN_true12 replied to dmstanl1's topic in California

   You're right. There's a reason Sacramento is cheaper; it's not a desirable area to live in, I've been there many times. You get what you pay for in terms of housing/environment :)

7. UCSF New Grad RN 2015

   RN_true12 replied to HConway214's topic in Job Hunt

   I'm hoping I get a call too! I only applied for the adult positions (no peds). Has anyone heard back from the adult units? My status still says "applied" I'm wondering if the online status is even updated to reflect any changes.

   xx_remix, BSN Mine said "in review" since the day I submitted the app. But the date changed to 6/15 then I got a call. I don't think mine ever said "in process." I didn't check too often, maybe like 3x a week.

14. In need of studying advice for the NCLEX!

    RN_true12 replied to apff's topic in NCLEX

    I was totally like that too in the beginning! Taking notes just takes way too long! I stopped taking notes and began to focus on just reviewing the rationales after every quiz (both right and wrong). If there was a super important topic I had to wri...

15. Need Opinion on my Kaplan Scores! Please!

    RN_true12 replied to ter002's topic in NCLEX

    I think you are going to be fine. However, make sure to do at least 90% of the question bank before your exam. I believe that helped me out so much! My question trainer scores were not that great...I scored mainly in the 50s, some 60s. My readiness w...
