   Good Luck EVERYONE! Anyone have a completed application yet? What's everyone doing to keep their minds off of the wait? After my application is complete, I will be much more relaxed and probably catch up on my reading.

   Good luck to us all!! App opens next week, hope you all are gearing up. It'll be a crazy 8 months or so before we find out where our efforts take us. I am excited to see what this application cohort is like.

   well... I was just on the red line today and my badge was checked. This is always the case for those of us who line up at Mission Bay in the MCB direction. While I agree they don't always check, I would caution anyone who is already nervous about a g...

   That is super helpful information. I love the "talk time" idea. Thanks for sharing. Your story is inspiring.

6. Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

   All_dogs_eat_kale replied to 8mpg's topic in NP

   Can anyone speak to their experience as a NP that works in a community clinic? How different is this from working in the hospital? Do NPs work their way up the leadership ladder by advanced education or experience and time at a clinic? Maybe a combin...

7. College Grad Nursing school Options

   All_dogs_eat_kale replied to kamododragon's topic in General Students

   You should probably reconsider your feelings towards the TEAS and standardized tests since you will need to take the NCLEX eventually. Also most schools need you to have completed your pre-reqs so they can evaluate your ability to complete their prog...

   All_dogs_eat_kale replied to Sammi15's topic in NP

   Is there a clear difference between having a MSN or an FNP along w/MSN? I am sure there is a topic somewhere on this site but haven't seen it in my brief search.

9. Nursing as a Second Career

   All_dogs_eat_kale replied to HappyJetting's topic in General Nursing

   I would image that experiences would vary depending on the type of nurse you become. There are so many opportunities and this is what attracts me to it. I am not yet a nurse but I believe that it is such a generous field when it comes to movement. Of...

10. hiring older nurses

    All_dogs_eat_kale replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to know what the make up of new nurses entering the workforce is now. I think with new programs designed for career changers there will be an increase in "older" new nurses. This is a very interesting subject. I bet there is data on this...

    All_dogs_eat_kale replied to nursingjourney's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the topic. I too and considering the juggle of children and graduate school. I have been searching for stories and tips of those that have had this struggle. In theory it seems doable but in practice I imagine it to be a serious challen...

12. How to Survive Your First Semester of Nursing School: Things I Wish People Had Told Me

    All_dogs_eat_kale replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    Fantastic advice, thank you all. Did anyone have children just before beginning program or during program? I always wonder when is the best time. A lot of people say there is never a right time but I think it may not be true for the nursing student.

    San Francisco is easy to get around. You can stay anywhere in the city or even east bay (if on a budget) and find it easy to get to interview. Muni and Lyft will get you there easily. There is very little parking so I would avoid driving. I think sta...
